“ America Online Instant Messenger Discontinued ”

well, i 4 1 will miss AIM. it's been there a majority of my life. i installed AIM when it was 1st released. i was still a teenager and had met a lot of very interesting people whom i still speak with 2 this day. i have gone thru many SN (screen names) when i was a kid as it was very easy to delete 1 and make another. not to mention there were various exploit only savvy 2 those on the in crowd that knew about mergers like Netscape and AOL when their service was 2 soon provide 16chr SN. we, the few, had the 1st of the 16chr elite SN and oddly enough i still have many of those AIM SN 2 this day.

altho — i still use 1 that stuck with me from the day i was called CAT bc of my initials and changed the ltr to KATT which was similar to how Snoop Dogg had spelled 'Dog'. and is the root of where i had got the idea to spell it with 2 T, regardless of the many rumor that KATT stood for Kill All The Terrorists and so on. all of the rumor of which were hilarious and scary. but it was much simpler than that.

in any case, AIM is going to be discontinued on the 15th of Dec, 2017 and i will likely end up spamming all of my AIM friends that are still floating around on AIM on their mobiles/PC today and get them 2 join us elsewhere so we never lose contact. friends are important and AIM/AOL had helped build many of Great relationships over the past few decades.

AIM will be missed, if not by the tweens, at least by me and my old elite crew. #RIPAIM

THEIR FINAL FAREWELL:
