I don't think this is really possible, but if you make a chat room with a very randomized name like the ones AIM gives you by default people shouldn't be able to find you very easily.

i dont think it would be possible to make just an aim+ chat either....if you use the chat that aim gives to you with a lot of numbers most like no one will come in to your chat.......i mean how many people would guess a number like Chat No 15054197203248178481 i mean come on........

Although just AIM+ chats would be difficult, and a waste of time to program, there is a way I can think of to sort of work around this. You could have an algorithm that AIM+ uses to generate a number based on the chat room name. Let's say chat room called aim5sucks would be translated into a number based on the ascii code of that room name has. So basically we would turn letters into a string of numbers. Even if we did this, how many people would REALLY care anyways? Seems almost pointless to me. If you want to chat with AIM+ users just click on their AIM contact icon and talk to them. I would suggest maybe a web based chat for the site, but I know how much traffic Ryan has already, and that probably wouldn't help, so why not officially designate AIMplus as a chat room for AIM+ using the AOL servers? Sound like an idea? Oh well, there's my 2 cents, peace.

wasnt it that in the AIM 4.7 and earlier i guess, didnt it automatically put your SN as the chat name when you invited someone? like "Plasma2002b Chat 12" or sumthin..... wonder why they went to #'s instead of that.... not like sombody would type Plasma2002b Chat 12 in by random or whatnot.
