on AIM it's "Hatrack Chat" though I don't think it's very active lately.

How do you even enter a chatroom through AIM? I've never done it

One easy way is to add yourself to your buddy list, then invite yourself to chat, and when the chat invitation dialoge box pops up, replace the long random chatroom number with "Hatrack Chat".

(The way you invite yourself to chat is to right click on your buddy name in your buddy list, and pick "Send Chat Invitation" off the menu.)

I'm in there now, Lyrhawn, just to see if you make it in. [Smile]

Umm...

Do you mean instant messages?

Most people (aside from those who use AOL as their ISP) don't use AOL for email.

If installing aim doesn't work, you can also try AIM express , which is a java version that doesn't require installation. You'll still need to register an user name if you haven't already, though.

I recommend Gaim. Not that AOL actually does read your IMs, but they do bundle a lot of spyware and other junk I don't want with AIM.

I am NOT going to have anything to do with AOL. So you'll just have to deal with it [joyously / miserably / rapturously / ecstaticly / sadly].

Jonathan Howard -- have you ever used Winamp? That's an AOL prduct as well.

I just hopped on hatrackchat on AIM right now and no one was there =/ There never seems to be anyone there when I look. I'm wondering if Trillian doesn't handle the room right or something.

It's not "hatrackchat", it's "hatrack chat".

That's weird though, because for things related to AIM, spaces don't matter.

So is Netscape, which is why I use Firefox now. [Smile]

I use firefox because it's a better product.

Also, you didn't answer my question. [Razz]

Someone invite Architraz Warden if they can... I want to see if AIM Express will let me into the chat (the invite isn't working on my end).

I did use Winamp for a while. But no, not now. I'm going between media players.

Also, Winamp is not as directly controlled by AOL as AIM is, kinda-like Netscape. AOL don't give a damn. But then, PartitionMagic is now 25% Microsoft.
