hehe.. you can't set over 200 names on ur buddy list.. at least not until they up the limit. The way i've gone around this is just make another SN.. and run two buddy lists off your computer. Search on google or something for a program called AIM+ . It will let you remove the ads and tweak your AIM to put what you want on it. There is also a cloning thing which will let you run two instances of AIM on your system. 400 SN's!!! woot!

Don't know about the popular part. Most I've had online on one buddy list was around 48? Of course given that some have 2 AIM SN's running that is on my list, and some of the people from one list is the same on the other. I enjoy having two list because: One SN, anyone w/ my SN can IM me. The other one, I only allow people on my list, keep away the weirdos  Works great |

How bout tinkering with
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\America Online\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\CurrentVersion\Buddy\MaxBuddies On a similar note - I have AOL IMer icon within IE. How do I change that shortcut to access the AIM+ executable instead of AOL's AIM file? L

i'm guessing tha though 200 buddies for a single person may not take up too much space, since everything is stored on their servers, multiply by the millions of users, it takes up a bit of space. It may take up too much of their bandwith..? I dunno.. |
