I need help w/ AIM.....My parents cancelled the AOL account and I didn't know it. I already had AIM using my AOL screen name. All I want is my buddylist because I can make another screenname. Does anybody know if they can send my buddylist through e-mail??

Same Issue...

Someone just showed me this post... and it is really true. I cancelled in June thinking I would be able to save my SN for AIM. Guess not, it kept on giving me Sign On Blocked on AIM and when I tried to register on www.aim.com, it showed up as being used by user.

I even waited 6 months to see if AOL would release the account, but no go. They freeze the accounts for much longer now I was told by the representative, its not forever, but it is longer than 6 months. Im guessing 1-2 years.

So now they "offer" a $4.95 plan to activate your old account and do what you wish, just not use the AOL program itself. Web access for email, and AIM.

Basically they have me by the B@LLS. I had my SN for over 6+ years, its worst than losing a cell phone number.

This just happened to me...

It sucks. Ive been using this name forever.

What would happen if I sign up for the free AOL trial crap.

And then I delete that screenname from the account?

And then sign up for it using AIM.

Would that work?

Wait... I cant.

Hmm.

This sucks.

Abusiveelusive... I think you've about grasped the situation.

I think it's pretty poor of them, most definitely.

Question Question

When an unknown username pops up and starts talking to me on AOL messenger, is there a way to find out who that screen name belongs to? I have already tried people search.

Re: aim

Try aimexpress.com, that's all I can think of, though. Maybe you can access your old buddy list there.
