Chill peeps, if you just get over it then AIM+ will be back before you know it and all. So just shut up and be thankful that they even started on AIM+ :D so relax and lay back.

AIM+ 3.0

Post by OneBilzFan »

I am saddened to see people who could care less about another human being. I enjoy AIM+ for Aol Instant Messenger. And it's sad to see that people are so heartless and think only about themselves. Keep up the work on AIM+ 3.0 if you do continue to build on it. If you don't well then that's your choice to make. It's sad to see the world we live in today. :sad:

I have been browsing the boards lately and some people have said that Big-O released a statement that AOL was one of the people behind the attacks. I cannot find any evidence of you posting this so I didn't know if it was true. Any help here would be gratefully appreciated.

It is sad that people come up with such lies on Big-O's own site...

i am not trying to spread lies. I thought that Sparkelsatin's comment "...AOL would not threaten (which the big-o's have said they have done)" made it sound like Big-O has said somewhere that AOL had threatened them

Believe me, Big- O has already stated that AOL did not have anything to do with these attacks.

I knew that they had denied AOL's involvement in the attacks, but I hadn't visited these boards in awhile so I thought that Sparkelsatins comment meant that they had released new info that said that AOL had threateded them.
Sorry to bother anyone. Believe me, I'm not trying to spred gossip in this post, I was just confused and wanted so resolve my question. Thanks to those who answered my question.

If you had read the rest of SparkleSatinE's post, you'd have seen (quite clearly) that I was debunking the AOL theories.

See... When you put out a free high quality product and get crap back in return, I wouldn't blame you for your mistake. Don't let anyone get to your head. Let them know you won't be beat out. Otherwise they've won. You all are a great group of programmers. There was a time when I was like you all. Don't let them get to you.
Your all's decision was pretty good, evern though I was excited about the new AIM plus to only be dissapointed. Butnot that I dind't get to use he new AIM, but that someone would give you guys crap for no reason. But don't let them win. Just remember they may be able to mess around and personally attack you, but nothing can bring you down. BIG-o Software... Big.
They can't do better, it's not like they have a right to mess around.
I'm talking too much but I'm hoping it helps you all. I'm really hoping you guys get up and running again and release your wonderful freeware product. I could use an AIM log for 5.0 about now, but if you all think it's a good idea to postpone it, then I'm with you al the way. I hope everyhting clears up. Remember they can't win unless you let them.
Good luck guys!

[sigh]...you know what upsets me a lot? none of you people who are complaining have been with these guys or this website for more than a month or two... I think i first downloaded aim+ on like the January 1st, and i joined the forums sometime in March. i have no need to post four million times, and i have no reason to bitch and moan. i guarantee you all i love this program just as much, if not more than the rest of you, but you all need to grow up and respect the decisions of its creators.

Yes i am fascinated by the fact that there are several thousand views and 500+ posts, and im also fascinated that Big-0 has grown to this from the minute peaceful software 'company' it once was. But i think that the negativity of these forums is an interactive demonstration of the greedy, spoiled, tendancies of all internet users, not just a specific generation.

guys, sorry it took me so long to send out my support, but thank you very much for all your hard work, sleepless nights, unnecessary aggrivation and harassment, and your commitment. I've been here since the beginning, through all the bugs, downtime, and testing. i was here when you guys overcame your problems with the 'other programmers' as you say, and i still use your software, as well as his. i anxiously await the next hkSFV, :wink: and will be the first to download and support all of your further programs.

once again, good luck with everything, and i hope you can at some point use the fan base you have already established to create a nice and comfortable life for you and yours. Bill Gates will need a replacement sooner or later. :D Happy Holidays.
