[www.aimfight.com](http://www.aimfight.com) It’s dirt simple: You type in a pair of AIM screennames, and it tells you who’s more popular based on who’s online when you fight. Make sure to go up against all of your friends so you know exactly where you stand among them. 😉 ---

Sweet. I am way more popular than everyone I know. My top score was like 1144. -foxy ---

I got 2192. This seems quite sketchy. ---

Why does it seem sketchy? It’s explained under the What is AIMFight tab at the top. I only register a measly 1357. I’ll just pretend all my buddies are signed off right now (which a lot of them are actually). I lose the fight with all of my buddies. I only use AIM to talk to a few people though. Most of my friends on AIM are American and at college, so have hundreds of buddies. ---

27043, baby! Woo! Can anyone beat me? And what, exactly, does this measure? Time online since my last sign off? Number of buddies on my list? What? ---

This doesn’t make any sense. How does this program have access to everybody’s buddy list? ---

How do you see the number? When I try it, I get a bar chart and a declaration of who’s the winner, but no numbers. Incidentally, **TubaDiva** seems to be a major contender. ---

> [@ultrafilter](#): > > Highest score I’ve seen so far 518,550, so don’t get too excited about yours. Well, yeah, SOMEONE out there has a higher score than me, but doI at least win the award for Doper with highest number? Please? Can I? (incidently, I lost against several of my friends. One had 57,000, another 61,000, and the most of people I tested was a guy I know with 67,000. Still nothing compared to 518,000, though.) ---
