Dear AIM users,Because of our overloading of our servers, we are being forced to extract our non-active AIM users. Because this is a free service, AOL has exceeded the budget for the AIM service. We are asking that you send this exact message to 20 other AIM users to ensure us that you're an active AIM user. Our system tracking devise will pick up this message to keep you on our active list. You have 72 hours to complete this task or your service will be cancelled immediately. Starting January 1st, 2005, we will be charging a small fee for registering of a screen name for AIM. Thank you for your time and for using AOL or AIM.
Thats the statement I've been getting on AIM for the last two days. I have not yet sent it to anybody, b/c I personally this its horse poop. Does anyone have any inside info about it.

maybe it's aolsucks.org
maybe it doesn't exist anymore. It was a web site from back in the day when AOL first went from an hourly rate to unlimited and the service was terrible.

Posted: 11/15/04 at 9:15pmIt's obvious bull****. AOL doesn't need your help spreading a message to anybody.
