Best Version of Aim

Post by Cecil » Fri Jul 03, 2009 4:19 pm

Best Version of Aim that doesn't have viruses and spyware/etc.? There's this site called oldapps or something that has a lot of versions but I hear a lot of stuff about many versions, so thinkin u guys could inform me.

In my eyes, all it's got is chat with no AoL.com load-up on your default browser when you sign in and it gives no pop-ups, starts/closes instantly causes no lag, just chat.

I liked aim 2.0 cause it was like 2 megs and started/closed instantly, didn't lag etc. But it caused that site pop-up so wtf...

Help pls. <3

You know when it says full installation, click CUSTOM installation, and DESELECT the options of opening your aim shit on your browser when you log in and stuff. Done. Aim 7 lags, 6 is great.

I just use Trillian. The only problems I have with it is when AIM decides to reject file transfers for no apparent reason.
"Within every world, there are cultures, within every culture, there are groups, within every group, there are leaders. These leaders are not truly chosen, they are destined, it is their fate to lead, and it is this fate that drives them. Souls yearn to be driven, they in themselves can not direct, however, these leaders are predetermined, by whatever means, to guide the wills and mend the errors of these wandering souls. A forest, cold, cured, flawless, meticulous, and fearful, what drives it, what keeps the balance? The inner beings of all the co-existant creatures swarm together, and every one is guided by another, in more a cycle, then a hierarchy. The eyes of a forest are always watching and guiding, yet the sun never sets on the forest, and it never shall." ~ The Chaos Theory

Yeah, I been using 6 my whole time.

But man, 1.0/2.0, they run faster than any XP program, and they do the job of chatting just fine; 'cept the only legit drawback is each IM is in it's own window (less u can change that/mod it).

Aim sucks for that indeed. I have skype for that. It doesn't lag at all either.
