AIM+ 3.0

[CatnipOligarchy]

does anyone have a mirror for aim+ 3.0?

[shockz]

does aim 5.0 combine icq into it too? i use trillian right now becuase i want both in 1 client.

ICQ and AIM, although owned by the same company, won't be in one official client together any time in the near future.

Actually - AIM 5.1 supports ICQ converstations, however a version of ICQ that supports AIM converstations has yet to be released.

[persianpsycho]

how sad :p

[episode]

Well after seeing that, I won't even bother checking for AIM+ any more. DeadAIM 3.0 is better than any AIM+

[Toxikk Veteran]

DeadAIM all the way baby! lol we've turned the "AIM+ 3.0" thread into a "Down with AIM+! DeadAIM rules!"

well anyway i hope big-o-software is happy with their stupid decision... i honestly wonder why they would do such a thing. any ideas anybody?

long live DeadAIM! :happy:

[gigapixels Veteran]

lol i just realized "long live DeadAIM" is kind of an oxymoron....

[Toxikk Veteran]

i found a weird bug running deadaim3. if you try to grab the bottom of the window and resize it, aim crashes. does anyone but me see this also?

[gigapixels Veteran]

hmmm...i just tried it and it worked fine. the buddy list window? that's what i tried but if you mean the message window...

nope that works too. that's strange... well i wonder what could be causing that...

ahaha i told you it was fake.. I now officially can talk. AIM+ Programmers were hiding that DEADaim is far superior. They need fake crashes to help them :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

haha, fake errors, never really seen that before :unsure:

[-}x0{-]

right now i just want a client that combines icq and aim together, with no ads/spyware, very little memory usage, but still has the basic aim stuff such as direct connect, smileys, html profiles, and buddy icons. trillian is doing the best for me now and it also checks my hotmail and news and weather at the same time....except it eats a lot of memory, 8mb right now.

[gigapixels Veteran]

how much mem do you have? 8mb isn't much... but then again i have a gig so i could see what you mean if you don't have such a large amount of ram. i would be using trillian now except i only use aim so there's no use for me to use it.

I updated to AIM 5 and deadaim 3, but now my once compact AIM is very.. long... I can't resize the window any smaller than it is, it's probably 500 pixels tall. Rather annoying..

Anyone know how to correct this?

[flakingbiscuit]

would ya look at this. what not a suprise:

AIM+ is an add-on to AOL's Instant Messenger for Windows.

It integrates automatically and flawlessly with AIM, adding crucial features like IM/Chat Logging (with an integrated History Browser), Ad Removal, Cloning, Customizable Buddy List Window, and Translucent Windows.

AIM+ 3.0 indefinitely postponed.

but when you go to the forums:

phpBB : Critical Error

Error creating new session

this sucks... o well. back to trillian

[radioboy]

,Dec 14 2002, 01:22]the sql error is fake... no sql error shows up like that...

they are full of it.. they are threatened because of the recent deadaim release whcih i am now using. Deadaim is the best ive ever tried. No matter when or if aim+ comes out ill probably still use deadaim. haha maybe the folks at aim+ crashed their own site to give them more time to add the features deadaim already has :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:  :laugh:

Of course it's fake.

Go to the page, right click on it, and choose 'view source'.

The whole page is just a text document with the words "Unkown MySQL Error" in it.

It's a load of crap.

Erm... you are aware that when you use includes to pull things out of text files and databases, you dont SEE the includes in the code because they're server side.. right?

Go to www.deadkitty.org... I use includes for the front news, navbar, and latest 10 additions. But look at the code you just see plain text.

And... now the site gets a million real SQL errors

Wrong.

Add an ICQ# to your buddy list... it asks you to enter an alias for it. At the same time, that ICQ number will get an authorization or user added you system message.

They don't show up, but then send the AIM screen name an offline message from ICQ, it pops up in the AIM window (but you can't reply).

Ok, first off, stop bashing them as "hiding" behind a error message. It's not fake. You can COMPLETELY control how your page output is, even under errors. If PHP couldn't do that, it'd suck as a language. (Ever see an IPB sql error page? It's customized in a way that's useful and good looking, not how PHP decides for it to look).

Now that their page is loading, its apparent they have a corrupted sessions table. It's a simple fix, they just aren't fixing it....This IS their fault, but it's easily fixable.

Also, my assumption is that they were prepared for a wed. release, but something happened (bug or problem) that was unforseen and got in the way of development. It's happened to me and lots of other developers before, so it's almost expected. They're developing a free piece of software, so don't bitch. If they don't want to release it because it's not ready, just wait. It'll be out eventually. Don't judge it until then :p

[Toxikk Veteran]

right timdorr... they shouldnt play childish games tho

[Bain]

well it appears as if they are working on the site right now and to show all you schmucks that the error you saw before was real there are now longer in depth errors that have occurred from them working on the initial error. I did however copy a line or two from the site and this is how it goes...

but this has been 6 months in the works, and how hard is it anyway to fix code that was already there to be compatible with a new version. poopty developers if you ask me. very shady thats all. :wacko: no need for games. the site has been up, how long? year, year and a half, and no problems like this? i dont understand, NO ONE got the 3.0 release, how did the web site just "crash" if they didnt even have the file ready?

all of a sudden, on the release date, the site just decides to say f u. lol

[xWeston]

i heard people were releasing personal information about them on the internet so they decided to postpone it or something.

[Qumahlin]

This is straight from Big-O

Unfortunately for everyone anticipating the next release of our popular AIM+ application (including us), AIM+ 3.0 has been indefinitely postponed. Big-O Software has two major reasons for this decision, one that we have been attempting to work around, the other is simply unacceptable.

First, a huge difference between Big-O Software last year and Big-O Software this year is that both Ryan and I have completed college and have been thrust into the real world. In order to survive in the real world, we have both taken jobs that consume massive amounts of our time that in the past at least partially could be devoted to the support and development of our software. Spare time has been scarce, and it is key for Big-O Software, as it is a hobby that pays us nothing. This part, however, we were willing to work around, so that we could continue to provide quality software for ourselves and our users.

Second, over the past few months, Big-O Software has been attacked repeatedly in various ways, including telephone, email, and through the website. Recently, with the impending release of AIM+ 3.0, the individuals responsible for these attacks have taken the liberty of posting personal information about us on the internet, and the frequency and intensity of the attacks have grown exponentially. We have had a lot of fun working with the users to develop AIM+, but if this price we have to pay for our effors, then it is simply not worth it to us. We have invested a lot of time and effort into AIM+, without expecting or getting anything tangible back. There is nothing wrong with that, as we never expected anything other than our own personal use of the software. However, we are now experiencing very tangible negative effects. This is the unacceptable part; it automatically made up our minds for us.

In conclusion, Big-O Software has indefinitely postponed the further development of AIM+. We plan to continue to work out bugs in the current version, including AIM 5.x compatibility, but at this point these are our final plans for the future of AIM+.

hkSFV will continue to be fully supported, and we already have plans for future releases. Big-O Software also has plans and ideas for other new applications that we expect you will enjoy even more than AIM+.

To those who have supported us, in any way, throughout the development of AIM+: thank you, you made it very fun while it lasted, and we're sorry for the disappointment that this must bring. It certainly was not the way we had planned on celebrating AIM+'s 1 year anniversary. Unfortunately, the recent negativity and personal invasions have made this troubling decision an easy one for us to make.
