hmmm seems to work pretty good. It does have a few bugs but it's better than nothing. I wonder how long it'll last before AOL comes whining about this one too. profilespy went down in flames. More luck to 'em though!

I realized the same thing, but it's still readable.

Yeah I saw it... and I'm wondering the same thing..


I just realized how few friends I have that use AOL. Over half my buddy list used to be on AOL (the whole reason I started using AIM in the first place) but most of them have finally wised up and are now with better ISPs. I just went to go look up some friends profiles that I havn't seen in a while because of the lack of an online source, and I only found like 5 people to look up. Kind of happy and dissapointing all in one :)

I just checked all the profiles I could think of (not many) just to see them before this goes out like profilespy.

I can say the same thing. Most people that had AOL accounts on my buddy list now just AIM full-time.

Yea, that's what I did. It was only like five or six people--not even I think. Out of a list with 111 people, that's like nothing.

If they actually want this to stay alive they would be smart and release the source code.

Moderators, you should make this a sticky.

That's not a bad idea. But then again...they probably won't...

I think it's doing a fine job of sticking itself :) This should stay at the top for a while I'd say.
