[bigtiger]

i've been trying to access the site many times throughout the day and i still haven't been able to load up the page even once. if anyone who has it can put up a mirror or email it to me at [email protected] that would be great.

i get nothing but an "Unknown MySQL Server error." message when ever i try to goto that site... they really should have spread that file around to places like Download.com, they obviously couldn't handle the onslaught, heh...

[flakingbiscuit]

if anyone has it, i can mirror it

this was obviously going to happen, i know it sounds stupid, but i actually bet a freind of mine somethign would happen to the site or it wouldnt be released today. lol i'm $5 richer! hehe the bet was on deadlines people release on the internet with certain programs, etc..it was just a "AIM+ wont be released" type thing.

Thats what happens when you have sites like this who specify a deadline and never come through, or something "happens" to the site. I know big-0 is reliable, but i just figured i'd have some fun in winning a bet.

:)

anway, ill host it too if anyone has it.

hope this comes out soon, been waiting for it for a while

[ibetheone]

Site still down :( but if anyone has access to this big-o page let me know. I will also host the aim+ file if someone can get it. :)

[CatnipOligarchy]

a day and a half later...still nothing...

[havyn]

it's a crock, it will never be released....

[CatnipOligarchy]

well i dont know about that, but they kept saying their server could handle it and that they wouldnt give the download to download.com and other similar sites so people would go to www.big-o-software.com to download it...well the server couldnt handle it and now no one has it...

They keep losing more and more people to DeadAIM now. They are shooting themselves in the foot.

[mikejd1]

what did you expect guys? lol.

[QuarterSwede]

what did you expect guys? lol.

Really.

It's all DeadAIM for me now. I don't really see how AIM+3.0 could be anybetter. DeadAIM does everything I want it to well, except for the tabs (only because they don't flash/focus the way I want them too). Just my 2 cents.

[CatnipOligarchy]

i havent tried deadaim yet im still using aim+ for aim 4.8...im gonna give aim+ a few more days but if they dont get it out soon im switching

[xWeston]

I personally think that AIM 5 is terrible (about 5 times the memory usage of 4.x) and therefore aim+ has been working perfectly for me ever since it came out :) I just use it to block all adds/buttons/tabs and then use the logging feature.

Hopefully the logging will be a little better this time with images and everything but i dont see myself upgrading to 5.x anytime soon (if not ever)

I understand the software is free and everything but over 6 months sence their last release? Now it wouldn't have been so bad I guess if it was stand alone application but sence it works with aim and a new version of aim has been out and their software doesn't work with it (or at lease doesn't work great). what I also didn't like is when they said to the tune of "oh ya well its done but we wanna wait till our 1 year birthday, so just wait a few more weeks" I also agree that alot of people may switch to dead aim...I was going to switch to that but I always have aim on my second monitor and for some reason dead aim didn't like that at all, i'm not even sure if that was the problem but in the end deadaim didn't like me... maby in the future it will.

[mikejd1]

well, the only thing people can do who want this program is wait. hehe, however, i myself use AIM 5 with DeadAIm. Too bad Matt never updated MyIM to 3.0 otherwise i would have stuck with his. AIM+ is all hype. They annouce, finally, after 6 months they will release 3.0, then on the release day, the web site suddenly crashes, and they decide to not release it to download.com, etc..

whatever, all in all, DeadAIM does the same exact thing as AIM+. I'd wish some of you people who bash DeadAIM and are hardcor

AIM+ fans just stfu. They are the same exact programs, and in my opinion, Dead AIM is already far more superior, just because it's function is directly on top of the aim exe file, no seperate exe. Sometimes, having the speperate exe causes confusion, etc..well, to some people.

MyIM did it the same way, built there program on top of the AOL exe.

still waiting... :cry:

myim is due soon

[mikejd1]

big-o-idiots. :no: might as well put it to rest boys, MyIM and DeadIM will take you down because of this. :D

anyway, i know thats harsh, but thats what people get, especially big name software, that put a release date, get everyone all pumped up, and then receive a MYSql error. lol and THEN not even have the courtesy to spead the thing so people can get it. But nooo....too greedy for that, your web site's gotta get the hits. ;)

[CatnipOligarchy]

beginning to wonder if we will ever see this program...
