| Posted 8/15/2001 11:18 AM (GMT -6) |   | I'm just curious how many people here have AIM (Aol Instant Messenger). It's a free instant messaging program that allows people to communicate back and forth through instant text messages. You type it in, hit enter, and the other person sees it instantly. You can also do "buddy chats" where you can have a big group of people messaging eachother at the same time. I've seen some people here mention a program called "Paltalk" which sounds pretty cool. However, I think if we all get AIM it would be really nice to have a weekly meeting where we'd all get on and talk about stuff. We could even combine it with the book club idea and have weekly conversations about what we're all reading. Anyone interested?
In His Grip,
Matt

| Posted 8/15/2001 11:52 AM (GMT -6) | | My son has it and he could set me up, but this brings up a point I thought of when someone was talking about all of us getting in to a chat room: I tend to get myself in trouble when I answer something in haste. I kind of like the time to think before I respond to something. AIM is nice for a group of kids who want to talk about a bunch of nothing, but I, for one, would probably be apologizing a lot. (Maybe it's just me. I kind of have a big mouth: just ask Doc.  )

| Posted 8/15/2001 6:29 PM (GMT -6) | | We have it. Course I don't know how to use it. Although I'm sure I could get some instruction. Could be fun. I'd hate to see a kickin' thread get lost in cyber space tho.

You know with AIM, you can create a chat room. We should plan a chat event. Maybe get Doc to the discussion.

I have AIM, at least I am pretty positive I do because I've used instant messenger on AOL before, BUT I haven't the foggiest idea what my AIM handle is? What do you mean by the AIM handle? How would I know what mine would be?

Open up your AIM program and there should be a list of active screen names. If you haven't registered one with AOL then you probably don't have one. Go to www.aol.com and you should be able to find where to register a free screen name.

Hahha yeah that's one of the problems with AIM, everyone uses it! The only way to get a good name is to think up some crazy word that doesn't even exist, like I did with the name Fesfy.

If we keep this up we'll knock Glamdring and PsuedoIntellectual off the front page of the members list and take their spots.
Hey I love your AIM name! How did you get such a cool name? Now I can call you Vinny!

| Posted 8/28/2001 8:05 AM (GMT -6) | | Vinpalou is a Haitian phrase that means "Come here, I want to talk to you." Of course I squished the words together. Vinnie, hmmm. Vini in Kreyole means "come". I guess I can live with that.

| Posted 8/28/2001 6:20 PM (GMT -6) | | Hola,
When I went on the computer tonight I turned on the aol instand messenger thingy and the next thing you know complete strangers were talking to me!! I didn't know how the heck they got my address cause they weren't from this board. Finally Triskal went on his AOL
so I caught him and asked him what was up. There was a check in my profile that said let people search for me so they had access to me. weird. How can they do that when they don't know my name or handle?

| Posted 8/28/2001 6:55 PM (GMT -6) | | It is weird. welcome to the age of information sharing, where nothing in private anymore...it's the downside of the internet. What I hate most is all the porno and junk mail stuff that gets delivered to my hotmail account, probably because my hotmail address is posted public somewhere, without my permission. Or maybe I unknowingly gave permission by clicking on "I accept" after one of those 50-page lists of "terms and conditions."

| Posted 8/28/2001 7:11 PM (GMT -6) | | I get that kind of junk in my hotmail account as well. I'm constantly finding myself having to change accounts and only give my address to people I trust completetly. It's gotten to the point where i've had to make an email strictly for the purpose of giving companies or websites that ask for your email address before letting you sign up for a service. Hotmail does have a filter option though, which works quite effectively.

You shouldn't get any strange IMs from people you don't know. If you still do, you might consider calling an exorcist, because it would NOT be coming from another person!

| Posted 8/30/2001 9:40 AM (GMT -6) | | Glad to see that there was an actual chat event with members from this discussion board! Sounded like everyone really enjoyed it.
I just want to put a word in again, that it would be great for this communinity of memebers if we all entered out AIM handles into out CVM discussion board members profile.
If you don't know your AIM handle, it's probably because you also use AOL. Your AOL screen name is also your AIM handle in that case.

| Posted 9/4/2001 1:11 PM (GMT -6) | | Oh my, I'm sorry I didn't look at this thread before. I had no idea what it was about, so it didn't interest me. However, once I actually went into it, I realised what "AIM" was representing.
I'd love to be able to join you guys sometime. Are you just creating chats at the spur of the moment? Next time someone is on they can add me too. My screenname is Ajonistour.
*Sorry for being such a tardy newcomer*

| Posted 9/4/2001 7:02 PM (GMT -6) | | I'm glad more people are signing up for AIM. It's a really great way to fellowship with other believers. And best of all, it's free! Anyone else who wants to download it, just go to www.aol.com/aim
