0 Keldyn Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 I doubt it. I think the limit is set by AOL's servers when you login. Although i could be wrong.... :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me wonder why you bothered to reply to this post if you are not going to help... I don't know about you, but IM is the only way I can communicate with my friends since I moved to another country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Roger H. Veteran Posted February 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2002 that still doesn't help it.... just give up on trying .. as was said it's stored on the server and the server limits it not you control it but do you really need more than 160 people? I know you don't sit and put all those porn girls and hotornot.com girls and all that on your list right? hehe.. there's nothing you can do unless you work for AOL or your the president or something.

0 BroChaos Veteran Posted February 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2002 can't you just change the max buddies value in the registry? and EmuZombie...that's not impressive man, especially coming from a moderator. you guys are supposed to set examples...and posts like yours just aren't necessary.

0 Roger H. Veteran Posted February 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2002 ... weren't you reading anything i said? The limit is not stored on the PC. There's nothing that we can do since AOL control the amount of people you talk to. Your list is saved on AOL and maxes out at 160 or i think they changed it to 200 -300. I'm not sure.. but yeah... there is absolutely nothing you can do about it since we don't control that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 freeza Posted February 19, 2002 Share Posted February 19, 2002 before aol stored everything on its side there was a registry key you could change in order to get more buddies :l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BroChaos Veteran Posted February 19, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 19, 2002 shotty, yeah i was reading, relax. and it was possible at one point in time. i forgot about the list being saved server side now. i think the limit is 200 too.

0 nomis_nehc Posted February 19, 2002 Author Share Posted February 19, 2002 If the max is 200, I guess I am okay for now then. ShoTTa35: Haha, unfortunately I see no point having porn girls or hotornot.com whatever on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
