Whoever said this isn't the new AIM 6.0 is mistaken.

I'm the one who posted the news.. and here ya go, I got it from an official AIM Programmer's blog on AOL.

sweet :) now I'm happy again lol. I was really hoping this would, indeed, be the direction the nw AIM was heading to.

Still though, I can't wait till this goes final. :D

**** YEAH!!!

I've been using AIM since it was introduced to me back in 2000... been using it ever since. I even tried other chat programs like yahoo, msn & icq. I don't even think they're as good as AIM.

As I said, regardless of that blog that was posted, this is NOT AIM 6. It has been confirmed by official beta staff and by the staffer running this test. This may develop into a different test, but Triton, as it stands will be packaged with another test currently in beta and released in conjunction with that.

Could you be any more vague.

The program looks like aim, it feels like aim, and it acts like aim. By god, I call it AIM.

can you show us this confirmation?

Its not 6.0...

It's a beta version of a completely different software package...

Version 0.1.12

Not even version 1.

If you read the AIM dev's blog, you'd know that he said it's a new AIM from the ground up. That said, it makes perfect sense that the version number is 0.1.12.

Not to tick you off or anything, but can you show me proof? You just edited with out even proving anything. I had an offical AIM team member/coder say it was AIM 6.0 Beta 1. You have someone random dude who just says its not. So the version number is 0.1.12 who cares? Have you ever heard of test builds and code names. Just because it doesn't have 6 in it doesn't mean its not the real thing.

I'm not saying I'm absolutly right or know it all, but come on, it has AIM written all over it. And if you even read the site, it says all the features from 5.9 haven't been implented yet because its being rewritten from scratch. How can it be a brand new program if it's written from scratch? They will be implented as the beta moves on. So, really, do your homework before messing with something.

I can't believe you guys are all beside yourself over this thing.  It may have had a nice facelift and some features additions and changes, but there's still one huge problem.  I'll stick with Trillian.

Considering it is from AOL, yea, we are beside ourselves. It isn't often that AOL does something right like this, and this is the first beta. It shows they actually listen too.

This is nice.

To be honest. I use AIM 5.5 and I have DeadAIM 4.5. I get logging, no ads, tabbed windows and a fast interface. It seems to just work and as the poster above me said.. IT OWNS! . The only issue I have with it is the looks. AIM is so ugly - and maybe that's deliberate? Maybe they don't want to deter people with an overly cluttered/new interface. The aesthetics is my only problem with my deadaim+5.5 setup. Other than that, I haven't found anything that works right.

This Triton is nice looking. However, where are the HTML profiles? lol. That's the reason why I never switched to gaim/miranda/trillian.

Btw Bawx.. what do you mean custom BList? :p

its a very early beta. breathe homey and consider the fact that, like timdorr said, debugging is probably on and such.

It is such a drastic change from the original AIM that they probably felt it could not be labeled off as another AIM 5.x

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
