Does Anyone Actually Still Use AIM?

[Itsy Bitsy Alex 77]

So I was just editing my profile and going through what we could link to, when I noticed that you can put your AIM handle in one of the boxes. I still had AIM on my computer and decided to make a new account just in case, but does anyone still use AIM? Personally, I love it, that yellow fellow is still running down on my taskbar, but that's just me.

I use AIM once in a very great while, as most of my cintacts aren't all thst active on there anymore... You're more than likely to catch me on Skype!

[Red Cedar 1,407]

I still use AIM!

 

How else am I gonna hit anything?

 

 

(Seriously, was never a regular user and haven't used it in years.)

I don't think I've used AIM since 2006. Can't even remember my credentials for my old account. Skype dominates the IM scene nowadays and now that's all I use, and all that my friend use as far as I know.

Yeah, I still use Skype too, though usually when I ask my friends what they chat with, it's usually stuff like WhatsApp, Kik, hell some of my friends strictly use the Facebook Messenger. I guess this is because of the fact that those are more currently popular applications hence why kids/teens of today are going to use them more often, but it just got me thinking.

I use aim, yes. Not really for anything personal though like Skype

I have an AIM but I haven't touched it since... 2004?

Once dad buys me a subscription to a dial-up service.

I still have an account, but I don't think anybody I know has contacted me through it in close to a decade.

 

I mostly use Jabber and IRC for IM and chat.

[Shadowking58 1,136]

I don't know why. But just thinking about aim brings immense nostaglia to me. 

Might have been the fact that you have to use the phone line to get in.

I stopped using it years ago, after I accidentally installed it with the "new" as opposed to "classic" settings which generate this large chat bubbles that occupied far to much of the screen.  I couldn't undo the change even after uninstalling a reinstalling the program (I was never prompted with this choice again) and I couldn't figure out how to change it in the program itself or find the necessary instructions online.  Then I realized everybody was on Skype anyway, which was better in virtually every way, so I removed the program and now I just use Skype.

I never used AIM in the old days. I actually installed it last year to try to text a friend for free from my computer. It didn't work.

I stopped using AIM back in 2010. Mainly because I only used it to communicate with my boyfriend at the time. 

[CheeryFox 23,811]

Nope. Not since the late '90s. I was more into Comic Chat & ICQ.
