DeadAIM 4.0

[autodefe]

DeadAIM 4.0 is out, and is no longer freeware. Suffice to say there have been some significant changes made, though whether or not they're worth paying for is up to you. :no:

The following new features were added:

• Buddy aliasing - rename the buddies on your buddy list to what you want.
  
• New configuration screen.
  
• Talking while away.
  
• Transparency - Fade down transparency.
  
• Tabbed IMs - Always on top.
  
• Notifications - Select the time period for notification display.
  
• Logging - Optional whether to log images and inline files.
  
• Logging - Chatroom logging.
  

The following bugs were fixed:

• Sometimes even if the "advertise DeadAIM in your profile" tick was not selected it would get added to the profile anyway.
  
• Notifications - Clicking on notification alert replacements opened a window to the wrong screenname.

ouch $4.99...

I heard that the people who paid for 3.x don't qualify for 4.x and have to pay the 4.99 anyway.

any truth to this?

[firebud]

Why get that when you can get trillian for free and have all those features?

[Valkyre]

A wild guess, but wouldn't it be illegal to make money off a copyrighted program such as AIM?

[SolidWing68]

man get outta here, you gotta pay

[SOOPAH256]

so i assume that the previous two threads of the same topic were deleted?

anyway, i'm waiting for a good reason to buy this software. till then i'm keeping my current version.

Yea because some of the participants encouraged cracks for it. They were also subsequently warned/restricted.

:unsure: you'd think if someone was willing to put that much effort in finding a crack, they'd be willing to drop a mere $5 for it

i, on the other hand, won't drop $5 of an addon to a FREEWARE service

well goodbye to this thread and also escalademan.....

The people at <a href='http://<< spam >>' target='_blank'>this site</a> have a cracked version and it works! You have to sign up to see the forum tho :\

....

for the love of god... IT'S ONLY FIVE DOLLARS... skip buying your big mac extra value meal for one day and pay the poor man.

did i buy it? yes, i did. because i still prefer AIM over trillian (back off) and i feel like anyone who writes software that i really enjoy - something that makes me smile and think "thank god for so-and-so's program" - deserves to be paid/recognized for it.

I bought it, nothing too special. I don't even really notice any changes. I would suggest sticking with the version you have.

HAHAHAHA, Pure Gold. I am going to pay him too. Like the man said, it's only $5! It's incredibly cheap for what you get.

When you pay for it, does it let you download it immediately; or do you have to wait for JDennis to email you a registration code/website link/whatever? I'm about to buy this thang and I want to use it right away....

[l337hardware]

I paid, and I would not mind sharing my key with a few people that I would trust not splurge the world with it. Plus it's only 5 dollars, and really, like they are all saying, isnt much... I spend 10 on gas everyday, 5 is a number 1 supersized.

[radioboy]

except your key is only good 5 times

[quaa]

u need to wait to get an email from JDennis with your link and registration code

and i must say BUDDYNAME ALIASING 0wns

[drshdw]

AOL is gonna bitch at him sooo hard, im just waiting

Seriously... man.

That sucks.

I format my computer probably around 5 times a year.

[l337hardware]

except your key is only good 5 times

considering im the only who uses it right now, ill choose those 5 wisely :)

[tryfe]

AOL is gonna bitch at him sooo hard, im just waiting

Why would they? Because AIM is free and he's attempting to profit off of it? If that's true then JDennis clearly didn't think this out enough when he first implemented this in 3.2.1....That's why I have a version of 3.2.1 archived on my hard drives....somewhere......hopefully...

[Veedems Veteran]

AOL is gonna bitch at him sooo hard, im just waiting

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. He is making money off of modifying their work, iI basically don't blame AOL if they go at him.

an email is sent, with a download link (that's only active for 12hrs) and your serial. that email came to me *immediately*, though - i closed my paypal window in Opera, opened a new tab, logged into my email.com account, and it was already there, waiting for me.

[drshdw]

i thought AOL did bitch at him the first time around..maybe im mistaken. i'd think they'd bitch at him.
