Good lawd i remember that chit. I started chatting up with UGLY af girl from church when I was 14 and ended up getting my first hand job out of it.

I remember getting on MSN messenger chat rooms and trying to find girls who had smutty pics in their profiles

At some point AIM would assign you a random name if you selected that option.

As I was new to the process and unlearned, that’s what I got.

I was AZE7264 or some bullshite.

People would try to decypher it, it was random.

I thought this thing died about 10 years ago.

It was truly a pioneering internet program. Between AIM and the AOL chat rooms, it was really new programs that started to change the way we communicate. Basically, first version of text messaging that made instant text communication possible. Email was good for business, of course, but AIM was good for communicating with friends.

One time this weird kid somehow got this hot girl from schools login info and used it to message a bunch of us dudes to frick with us then he printed the logs and brought them to school and used them to "make fun" of us

It kinda backfired because everyone figured out he was a psycho

I’ll never forget you AIM. I don’t know how many girls I convinced it was a good idea to video chat me and let them show off in their underwear for me. My teenage years thank you.

Away messages: The original Facebook status.

There was nothing like going out on a Friday or Saturday in high school just to come home and get on AIM and recap the night with every one that was with you.

And when your friends came over and got to see all the bitches from one of the neighboring towns you had on your Buddy List

AIM was how a young Pecker cut his teeth in the manwhoring sphere.

I learned a lot and I'll never forget what AIM did for me.

So long, old friend.

Aww. I was too shy to talk to boys IRL in high school. I met my first couple of boyfriends on AOL. They weren’t very cute, but neither was I.
