Fuck I forgot about A/S/L. That seems so wrong now because I’m sure I was a fresh teen at the time lol

Wow, so somebody was still actively maintaining AIM. I just figured it was another case of an old server getting walled up while still powered on.

I can remember for a few years there, before FB had messaging and before skype existed, that AIM was a really great way to keep in touch with my friends when I was in college, and couldn’t afford to put a lot of minutes on my old cell phone. It was a nice thing to have there.
