StarDestroyer.Net BBS

Whilst I have many IM accounts, these are all many years old and I only ever go on my MSN account to see if a certain individual of my 20 or so contacts is online.

I used to find IM'ing fun and entertaining, but now, I can't be arsed for some reason. Maybe it's just I don't have anything interesting to say?

Anyway, many people here seem to have IM accounts. Do any people not use IM?

Does idling on IRC servers count as a form of IM? If so, I think you'll find no Net regular is without one.

Yeah IRC and chat rooms [If anyone still goes in those things] count in my books as IM'ing.

I know mike doesn't use IM.

Well, not to insult Mike too badly...but he seems to lack a 'Net personality. Atleast a nice one. I imagine he is a great guy IRL though...I hope

*raises hand*
No IM here.

I have IM but only special people know what my SN is.

I guess your SN is Hot Stuff

I do, and use it a lot, but for me it's just a tool to talk to people, not a different world. Not falling into that trap again

A different world? How so?

PS~You know it, Monty.

No IM for me, too.
I prefer to lay low. Not counting here, though.

I've been using IM so long my ICQ number has only six digits.

I can't remember the last time I used any IM client. I have AIM on my machine, but chatting online just doesn't do much for me. I need to actually be speaking to someone, either on the phone or in person. WHat might take 20 minutes of chat I can figure out in 5 seconds of hearing someones voice. The harmonics and overtones tell me more about someone's state of mind than pages of words.

I guess I only really use IMs for when a phone call won't work, like keeping in touch with friends overseas and the like.

Hell, I barely use the PM system here. I've sent two PMs in the last 3 months.

heh, I'm much better live

The SDnet AIM chatroom is still open and working to all those who wish to use it.

I use AIM/MSN. Mostly just chat to people from here.

Aside from that, all of my RL friends are online less and less.

I only go on when I need to tell someone something important or to see who's there, then I close it.

AIM is god, I need it I need my IM!

I use it, its like using the phone, but more convenient.

I only use AIM to occasionally join the SDnet chat (like I'm doing now. There's a lot of people on right now) or to have people upload stuff to me.


IRC, however, I use a lot. To download stuff, of course.


I also have a few ICQ contacts, but almost no activity really.

How do you get into the SDnet chat? I'm Comissar540....

Add yourself to you buddy list.

Then right click on your name and invite yourself to chat.

Set the room as "SDNet".

Does anyone know what exchange SDNet is on?

I have Yahoo's messenger for talking to a few people, MSN sits there with me on busy most of the time cos I'm too lazy/anti-social/working etc to talk to anyone, and that's about it.

I hope not...I literally love my IM service.

Fun stuff

Yeah that's about what I do too!
