You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

SO DEMANDING posted:

i should qualify, i hardly used any IM services. i had accounts with all the major ones and often hosed around with crap like trillian, gaim, and some other weird and really spergy multi-protocol client i can't remember

i just hardly ever logged into anything for more than a couple hours every few weeks

i remember third party clients allowed you to grief people pretty easily. one didn't have a nudge timer, so you could send a ton in rapid succession, and i recall a mostly broken feature that shows if someone blocked you. it didn't work very well, i remember people starting fights with others when people logged in from my computer and saw they were "blocked" by so and so
