There's a specific username that I want on AIM, but it's been taken. Is there any way possible that I can get that username, whether I ask AOL to shut it down so I can take the name or something or find the person online and ask them if I can somehow bribe them into giving me the username? I really want this particular username -_-

Anybody know anything about this? Yes, this is stupid shit and doesn't even warrant general but I was just wondering if anybody on TL has gone through something like this :-/

^-^

Stupid question is right O_o I highly doubt anyone on AIM gives a damn, What name was it in particular?

Just think of another name? <_<

"Ancestral" was taken. I don't even know who thinks of these kinds of things, other than me that is. I don't know what name you want, but I'm sure it's specific. Kind of weird how two people can think of the exact same thing, but then again not that weird.

Chances are that it isn't even used.

You could sign on aim and add the username that you want to your buddy list and wait until he gets on.

nope, it's probably in their privacy policy not to do something like this

When my name was stolen and the guy was sending obscenities and sexual content to minors on my buddy list AIM refused to do anything and said I had to contact the police for further action. Good luck.

I'm pretty sure if you have a newer version of AIM, people just replace your name with your real name unless you're talking to people you don't know in real life.

One time around 5 years ago I told people to add my new screen name, "noflux," before I made it. Then when I got internet access a few weeks later, it was taken. So, I log on with my old screen name and all of the people whom I told the other name told me that they hated me for being such a dick to them, and that pretending to not know them wasn't funny. I was really confused, so I added "noflux" to my list, and lo and behold the guy is from Germany and is on almost 24/7. We had an interesting chat, I asked him if I could have his screen name, he said no, we left it at that. He's still on my list, I get random messages from him sometimes lol.
Peace~
