autodefe Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 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.

firebud Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Why get that when you can get trillian for free and have all those features? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/87209-deadaim-40/#findComment-975887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyre Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 A wild guess, but wouldn't it be illegal to make money off a copyrighted program such as AIM? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/87209-deadaim-40/#findComment-975895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/87209-deadaim-40/#findComment-976305 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ring0 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 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.

Tommy Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I bought it, nothing too special. I don't even really notice any changes. I would suggest sticking with the version you have.

tryfe Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I bought it, nothing too special. I don't even really notice any changes. I would suggest sticking with the version you have. 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?

l337hardware Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 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.

tryfe Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 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 Posted June 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 22, 2003 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.

I'm about to buy this thang and I want to use it right away.... 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.
