Old Screen Names and an AIM Add-on

Post by abbaZaba5 »

does aol force a new user to have numbers in their name? i wanted the sn 'abbaZaba' but it would not allow me to create that. I put that user on my buddy list and THEY ARE NEVER ON. EVER. if no one is using it, why cant i register it for myself?

Also, there is a program called GoodAim that has an option for you to be able to rename the people on your buddy list with whatever you want. Like instead of "joeshmoe56549" i can rename it to just "joe" are there any other aim addons that do this or is this the only one? if someone could post a link if there are other programs like this it would be greatly appreciated
Abba-Zaba, you my only friend

Simple answer. No. I know plenty of people who don't have numbers in their screenames. If a screename is taken, you can't use it. Plain and simple.

Please try not to cram two subjects into one thread. It is more useful for everyone if they are split into two seperate posts. There is an existing thread on GoodAIM here:
