Ah that takes me back to the good old days chatting with friends in middle school on AIM. Farewell AIM, thanks for the memories.

My username originated on AIM. Probably what it will end up being most famous for.

Kind of asked my now wife to go on our first date through AIM. Hey, it worked.

And signing in with my alt name "bananaman" back in junior high and trolling people. That was fun. I miss AIM. Those sounds bring me back to 7th grade, and the excitement you'd get when your crush signed on and messaged you and you heard that sound.

First time I ever asked a girl out was on AIM. She blocked me. Messaged her on my other account, her dad threatened to call the police.

Those were the good ol days.

Too many coworkers nearby have FB Messenger so I swapped AIM sounds in so I could tell when I had a message instead of someone in a nearby desk.

Regular text messages are the ICQ uhoh! sound.

Un****ing real. I did almost the same thing. Think it was Spring 04. Asked her out on AIM, got too nervous, shut my laptop and went to the Underground to buy a Hot Pocket with an outbound. This was after a pretty raunchy date party neither one of were proud of.

**** I am cool.

Until last year, we used aim for intra-office chat. When I started and they told me to set up an account I was very surprised it still existed.
