  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

But really , it depends on who your trying to IM, and if they already have an account on one of the services, then it's whover most of your frends use. I.E. If all your frends use MSN, then MSN would be the best for you :) (If you didnt use it, you couldnt IM them :) )

Not saying this is the best setup...

...but I use AIM version 5.2.3292 with the DeadAIM version 4.1 plugin from jdennis.net.

BTW, if you are looking for a plugin like DeadAIM be aware that AIM+ (big-o-software.com) and MyIM do the same thing as DeadIM and are both free compared to DeadAIM which is $4.99.

I should note, however that AIM+ is not fully compatible with AIM version 5.x and MyIM is not quite as feature rich as DeadIM (doesn't include log viewer that DeadAIM does).

At some point in time I will probably start to use Trillian (ceruleanstudios.com) so that I can message people who use services other than AIM (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, etc.).

To many flaws and problems with MSN for me......I have windows XP and I uninstalled it because it was so annoying with all the pop up stuff....
Just disable the popup stuff. Then you never have to worry about it again. MSN has been really good to me :) Just goes down for service every once in a while really late at night.

What does DeadAIM do? :scratch:
It Logs Im's, Clones Aim (multiple instances of Aim open at once), you can supress the popups & Aim today window, and the stock ticker stuff, You can make the AIM windows transparent, and you can "tab" your IM window so that all your im's are in 1 window and you just click on the tab of the person......You can install DeadAim and uninstall it without any problems if you want to check it out.

I don't get any popups? It's all about how you set your settings.

I use MSN only. If i have a friend who has AIM, I can usually convince them to get MSN, then they're hooked ;)
