kylejn Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Mostly because every time I sign on, some random person starts IM'ing me out of nowhere, saying that he/she saw my name on their list and decided to IM me. My reasoning is, if you don't know who the person is, don't IM them. This happen to any of you a lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's annoying when your trying to have convos with your real friends. not the worst thing in the world but def. can make u mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJC Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 No that doesn't happen to me, but I do dislike AIM. It's a shame that AIM is the "norm" around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamz Veteran Posted July 19, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2005 i'm not sure why that has anything to do with aim. it's not like people can't do that on other networks. random people from neowin add me and talk to me all the time (:huh:), but you can always change the settings.

MikeCoz Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 yea true it has nothing to with aim dreamz is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmbeeman Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Yeah, what made AIM so great in the first place. On topic I get those all the time (Amy2Hot: wanna see my webcam) stuff like that, and you can't block them all. The only way to deal with that is to change you privacy settings like Bang Bang said, or get an ICQ number, I've had my number for 2 months now, you can still talk to AIM screenames, and the annoying IMs stop.
