that message.... .. I had to look for is because I have so many then I reliezed I still had it. I just deleted mine. What you have to do go to run and run regedit. Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -- SOFTWARE----America Online--AOL Instanted messager --- then your screen name you what to delete it from -- I am gone list. From there you need to find the regersity key that it is in. YOu will have to look down in the data colum for hte one that has Playing game in it and just delet that key and boom it is permenly gone

It can't be done... Well I'm sure there is a solution (Use a add-on that would removed it everytime), but it will always come back... What you could do is simply change the text in it to a away message that you would use anyways, so at least it is not taking up space.

Come on guys! I'm fucking down with this. I tried the regedit thing, it reset them all. So some file in the AIM directory is resetting it? I searched by comp for files containing the word "playing game" - nothing. So is it in hex in the aim directory? I'm not too sure about the tech. stuff, but give me some hints and I'll start looking. I want to rename that bitch.."playin game"...the fuck? I hate it!

you can not remove it by deleting the reg key. It will just repair it and put a new one in there. My trick to it is I have so many away message that I dont see it any more with otu looking for it

i agree with timeless on this one. AOL has put so much effort into making it permanent. every time someone finds a way to get rid of it they find another way to make it stay. i think its nnoying as hell but if you have enough away messages you wont even notice it.

My solution.

Man, you really need to get a life. I thought I had no life, but then I saw all those away messages. Even I don't use wallpapers of females. I like to keep it blank. Please go back to your hole, where you belong. And don't reply with stupid shit, you can't type, face it. You suck at life. End it.

you should relieze that those away message have been built up over a pierod of 3-4 years. quite a few where add this semster which will be replace next.

As for the back ground it has senitmetal meaning to me dumb ass. Condsidering a very close personal friend gave it to me and I am one of the few people who even have a copy of it

and lastly and you wonder why I have you block on aim...... Really dude you are worse than axilla.
