The Straight Dope Directory for AIM'ers (A MUST SEE!)

[MagicalSilverKey]

Okay Dopers, here it is, finally!
The ultimate AOL Instant Messenger Guide for SDMB’ers!

As you can see, nearly all of the submitted names from the various recent AIM threads are arranged here in an alphabetized master list! No more scrounging, surfing, or waiting to find who you want to talk to!

I tried to keep everything as accurate as possible, but it got a bit overwhelming. I put a lot of time and work into this. I can’t guarantee the accuracy of absolutely everyone’s AIM names, as some users may have changed them, or use multiples. Please pardon any errors. There are over 150 user names in my list! Enjoy!!!

The SDMB names appear on the left. Their corresponding AIM names appear to the right.

[Mercutio]

when someone with too much time on their hands includes you on their list. I feel the love.

[Monster104]

You’re sick.

Good job!

[VenusGirlTrap]

I know I’m new, but add me! CaliSteph6, I’m always online and always bored, and I have creative away messages!!

[ryoushi]

I would be most grateful if you’d add ryoushisnake to the archives.

[MagicalSilverKey]

I forgot to mention something important! I encourage everyone to please consider upgrading their AOL Instant Messenger software. It is absolutely free. The most current version is 4.3.2229

If you don’t know how or where to upgrade go to http://www.aim.com

Have fun everyone!

D’oh, I just realized something… I hope I didn’t make a boo-boo with posting the above quoted post. It could seem like an advertisement. I apologize, mods, if this was a no-no!

It just seems a lot people have neglected to update their software and are missing out on many of the cool new features.

Please, don’t hurt me!

*MsRobyn’s is available upon email request for such; as it’s her actual name, she doesn’t give it out online, unless I missed something.

And at some point I’m most likely going to switch AIM to iampunha from erlidh. Y’all were warned.

[Pammipoo]

Just a thought, but you spelled my screenname wrong. You switched a couple of letters.

[DynoSaur]

Ah, the curse of the Yellow Pages people…the constant need to update…

My AIM is PADyno. As if anyone cares

[SPOOFE]

Mwahahahaha… none of you bastards know MY handle!!!

Huh? What?

It’s in my profile?

Oh… nevermind.

Anyway, Mr. Silver Key… I would recommend updating the list to provide USEFUL information, like who’s available for cybersex and who isn’t (note: I’m not).

I’m a little bothered about this . . . I assume this information is available to all AIM members, it’s just a matter of going and searching for it?

If so, perhaps it’s not so bad . . . but I’m always leery of posting information without the consent of the parties involved.

Any objections to leaving this thread? I’ll remove it if necessary.

[iampunha]

Tuba, as far as I know, having been an AIM user for a few years now, AOL is more than happy to barrage you with any new feature, especially the ones that you can pay them for. They tell you when there’s a new version . . . and it’s not that difficult to find 'em anyway, off the main aol.com site.

If, however, you’re talking about info in the sense of various people’s screen names . . . those who don’t have an actual profile, theoretically you can’t find them unless you happen to correctly guess their SN. Others of us who do have profiles are searchable.

[Simetra]

TubaDiva. I’m assuming this list was compiled based on a thread that was posted a while back asking everyone to share their AIM name (hehe… AIM name) if they wanted to.

Just in case you were worried.

[dantheman]

O Loquacious Chocolate-Lover,

All of the above screen names were culled not from people’s profiles or other searches, but from the AOL Messenger Thread. The people whose AIM and SD names are listed, presumably, posted in that thread for the purpose of allowing other Dopers to get in touch with them on AIM. MSK, I’m sure, isn’t posting information that wasn’t already given; he’s just taken the time to put it into one neat table for us lazy louts.

I say bravo, MSK!!

[Hamadryad]

How 'punha knows my handle was listed incorrectly I don’t know, since he’s never talked to me…but I would like to clarify that it is “I space Hamadryad,” not “I underbar Hamadryad”…and while it looks like an Asimovian construct, it’s just that Hamadryad wasn’t available and I didn’t want to be Hamadryad7878.

Not that anyone cares. Have a good one.

[TroubleAgain]

Actually, I have no objection to this thread, but I’d like only the TroublCat ID being shown. Thanks for compiling it, though, MSK.
