How many people on NEShooters use AOL?

[Cledus J. Crabb]

Just wondering if enough of us could meet in a "NEShooters" chat on AOL. Anyone interested?
The personal message feature we have here is great. Just thought a chat room we all could frequent might make things a little more interesting.

My wife has access to an AOL account and the software is on this comp. I'd be in.

I can't stand AOL. Dumped it about 4 years ago after having it for about 8 years.

I have an AOL IM account... will that work?

Sorry, I took the training wheels off my internet years ago. [roll]

What C-pher said.... had it for less then a year back in the early 90's. Then used local servers untill about 2 years ago when we went high speed.

I have had an active AOL account since 1991. I don't use it ever. I only keep it because that is the only way my mom will use the internet. I changed to broadband service about 6 or 7 years ago, and even though my parents have DSL at their house, my mom still insists on using the AOL interface. My sister uses the account from her house too.

There are a lot of people that are on Yahoo IM, it's a free service and has full chat, IM and video chat all for free...

If you all want to do a Yahoo chat, I would be interested.

Yea, I would do something with Yahoo, I have an YIM account. But I connect through Jabber when I'm at work. That's our corporate IM service. But we have portals to MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ.

+1 ON YAHOO

 

[Jay G]

+2 on Yahoo chat.

 

[dwarven1]

Yup, I have Yahoo as well. And MSN and an ICQ account, too, if that helps.

Personally, I use Trillian from www.ceruleanstudios.com as a chat client. It lets me log into all 4 accounts at once.

I read some time ago the AOL is anti-gun, so I do not use it.
For a portal I used to use Yahoo, but grew weary of the animated advertising, so changed to Myway.

Well... I don't pay them anything for the messenger, and don't even use their software, so I really don't care what their stance is... they don't get squat from me, and I use their resources for free. How can I lose that way? [twisted]

Uh... what animated advertising? I don't use their software or a browser for chatting, so I don't see any of it. See my previous post.

I've been told that Google Talk is going to go that route. Let you have all your IM apps linked thought that one window.

The only reason that I like to use YIM directly some times is because of the video function.

But when I can, I use Google Talk for the voice. It's the clearest I've heard out there. The VoIP used in Google Talk is really good, even if you have crappy equipment.
