Taking it back

Click for larger image

^ clearly my conversation


Just re downloaded AIM 5.9 from 2005 ish. Installed it and remembered my name and password.

Anybody else on there still, or want to get back into it?

I hate facebook chat, actually hate facebook in general. Any body want to bring back AIM?

People still use chats all the time, especially facebook chat. I don't like it. AIM was the shit. I'm using it. Only have 1 friend online. Probably haven't logged in since 08, haven't really used it since 06/07.


Idk. as a side bar thing while you're surfing the web, instead of popping up facebook to talk to people hit up AIM. I never even start the convos on facebook. It's always the other person.


I gotta make a new profile. Pimpin that shit out as we speak.

The craziest thing is that there are people on this site that have absolutely no idea what that picture is.



What is this device you guys speak of?

Hit me up

I want to see if this still works. If messages still can make it through the portal of technology or get bounced around into another dimension.

since we can't go forward and it's too late to go backward, we may as well keep going awkward.

Haha I was on this shit so much when I was younger. I would always hit bitches up on AIM and scope their "buddy info" or whatever it was called. Everyone had their profiles decked out with a cool logo and username and always a witty away message of course. Im bout to check mine out from back in the day

I still use aim!!! For talkin wit friends around campus (the ones that dont have iphones), since I dont have a facebook. Also occasionally use it with my gf if im doing something on the pc... Aim was the shit when i was in elementary/jnr high! Profiles and away messages were the best ...
