It makes me feel old.

AIM needs to make a comeback! FB chat is so terrible.

I don't think I've used AIM since about 2006.  I've never used FB chat, however.

I honestly don't even notice it, as I use a client that merges google/facebook/aim/yahoo/msn.

Facebook chat does suck, but everyone uses Google anyway.

I'm not sure if this new tendency to appeal to the apparent inherent evil of Xahar in all things even remotely related to forum policing or this damn game is especially helpful.

my scores of AIM Logs 2003, 2006-2009 serve as a core of original sources for my tragic autobiographical tracts.

Yes, though I have hardly ever used it.  Just knowing I was among the first to get internet service via AOL dial-up in 1996 makes me feel ancient. 

What's AIM and why should I care ?
