Title: AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: spike on September 10, 2003, 01:23:02 am Dear AIM users,
Because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active AIM users. Because this is a free service, AOL has exceeded the budget for the AIM service. We are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other AIM users to ensure us that you're an active AIM user. Our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. You have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. Starting September 10, 2003, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for AIM. Thank you for your time and for using AOL or AIM what do y'all make of this? i think its a buncha b.s, but i wanted your computer god opinions Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: *DAMN Hazard on September 10, 2003, 01:47:22 am I'm guessing this was a chain im? Your a dumbass. That's a stupid trick someone made up.
Speaking of chain IM tricks... me and infection once made one like "little sally is stuck under a bulldozer send this to 10 people to give support to the rescue workers." then all that night people were sending it to us. You got noobed. gg Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: BTs_eight on September 10, 2003, 02:01:18 am Uhhh... thats real...
Be sure to send all credit card information along with it... Hell send it to my address since it is the AIM Headquarters.... While I am at it... Anyone want to buy a bridge? Very spacious very cheap, As of right now its called the George Washington Bridge in NY but i am sure once you purchase it you would be able to change the name of it. Only real inquires please! Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: spike on September 10, 2003, 02:07:31 am wtf, i just asked to make sure and you make personal attacks? maybe im not the smartest person in the world but at least im not an asshole
Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: *DAMN Hazard on September 10, 2003, 02:09:34 am Spike you should grow a sense of humor... I was only joking. I have gotten that IM about 6 times. It's nothing.

Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: jn.loudnotes on September 10, 2003, 02:36:40 am What I never understood was what's the point? The message never asks for money, it just makes people feel stupid. I don't really see the satisfaction in such a scam.

HAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHH now I am sure the world needs to end. [All I can say is "owned." And don't make super long strings of letters that bork the forums. Ace] Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: kami on September 10, 2003, 02:15:55 pm It's just about how the people who started the chain mail want to feel some kind of 'accomplishment' when they get the chainmail back from a couple of hundred people. If you get what I'm saying.
It's also a good way to filter the idiots from the rest. Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: BTs_Mysterio on September 11, 2003, 01:18:04 am Its one of thsoe things people with IQs over 50 can dismiss within .000000001 nanoseconds.
Quote wtf, i just asked to make sure and you make personal attacks? maybe im not the smartest person in the world but at least im not an asshole Personal attacks are what these forum troll love....and they are funny. And since we're in that area: You're far from the smartest person, but I'm sure you could run for president of the USA and win. Chain IMs-Self pwn at its best Title: Re:AIM shutting down? or just B.S Post by: spike on September 11, 2003, 04:03:42 am I dont know whether to be pleased or scared
