I know aol has a right to block my access it is there program and all but it’s not the ads that bother me it’s the fact that I have to use 4 different clients to get what I want and this is to much a hassle, once again this is not about the ads, if trillian added ads to trillian and gave the income to aol I wouldn’t care but I am now refusing to use aim, never again! I will not use the aim client, it is a pain to have all these different clients open all the time so I will not be using the aim messenger service again. Everyone who has me on there lists please take note of this my icq #11896187 I will continue to use icq until aol starts to ban other clients from using this as well. Anyone who wants to join me more power to you but I cannot continue to upgrade my software on an hourly basis.
This is not about ad revenue for me, like I said. Aol can do what it wants just so long as it knows they are alienating people.

Errr, to me, Ic0n0 seems to have been aware of that fact.

Would you like to give it another throw?

okay, then why do you call it a boycott of AOL, when ur still using an AOL product?
as long as they know ur using something of theirs, they don't care.
hmmmm.. but you already knew that, huh?

icq may be owned by aol but the programing is not a product of aol.

Same issue here. I'm sick of, every week, having to scan the trillian site waiting for an update that fixes AIM. I suppose it's the same thing they did when MSN tried for interoperability and everybody raised a fuss... only now since it's some undergroundish type group, so it's cool.
Kind of funny, I guess. All I wanted was one app to run the bunch of different clients.

The later icq's did become bloatware.
