It was hard to get everyone off aim too but it happened.

Then again there is always IRC.

We used it literally til the servers turned off.

Apparently at least one person is working, fairly successfully, on a server clone. I think it was this one, but I only know about it from one YouTube video I watched weeks ago.

Sadly Pidgin dropped oscar (aim protocol) support years ago because undeveloped and insecure. So either install a plugin or use the old clients.

On the up side, a complete understanding of the server protocol means new clients can be written.

I didn't know Pidgin had dropped it, but yeah - the video I saw as well as the git page linked both reference the original client. Is Trillian still around? What about Adium?

I have a friend who is just so damn stubborn when it comes to mixing up their "comfortable" things if they aren't the one to come up with the idea

Very frustrating

I have my friends and family on Matrix.

My instance is over 7 years old.

Love it, can't imagine being without it.
