Just wanted to make this topic for two reasons: 1. To say to those I talked to in that mass IM convo we had last night how fun it was and 2. To tell those who we didn't or couldn't get ahold of how fun it was and explain how it started. Me, I got bored as I usually do and started adding people to my IM list who had any IM info in their profile (on the SDMB). Only those who are in our "Mafia" group, though. If they appeared right away (online) on my list, I started talking to them and soon told them I was also talking to [others I was talking to]. It was not long after that Santo Rugger suggested we set up a conference IM and get everyone in the same box. We did that and for the rest of the night, we had a really fun talk talking, laughing, joking, telling stories, and getting to know one another better. Along the course of the night we had Hockey Monkey. Zeriel, Santos, CatInASuit, Diomedes and myself in there, and I tried to contact/get Freudian Slit, Cookies, NAF, Kat, HazelNutCoffee, Drain Bead, FlyingCowofDoom, zuma and Blaster Master invited but none were online. So if you have yahoo messenger, I hope any of you can join us next time we do this. It was really fun. AIM works too, I think. Most seemed to have that as well.

This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let's not bicker over who killed who.

For the record there was no gaming talk. Although we did float the idea of a Mafia Fest again.
If anyone wants to add me on AIM or Yahoo, I'm pimaspinner. I don't sign onto Yahoo unless I have a specific reason, so someone just nudge me on AIM if there is something going on.

It was fun chatting to a everyone briefly.
I tend to be on MSN instead of Yahoo, but can be nudged in either.
IM details are in the profile

T-shirt slogan idea for the inevitable Mafia-fest...
"Who the Easter Bunny feels up in Vegas, stays in Vegas."
I'm on messenger usually 10+ hours during the day, but I tend to avoid it at night. My id is rabid_renaissance on Yahoo Messenger. If anyone sees me online when one of these shindigs come up, send me a ping.

You can find me on AIM @ Either VicariousSon or Roosh001*
*It won't appear as online, because it's always "hidden" but if you enter it into your "send Message" box, you'll send me a message, as it's on 24-7 almost. Feel free to leave me a message (if I'm away) or if I'm there, I'm always up to say hello. I tend to be online though around midnight or later though during the week.

Wow, sounds like it was fun. Unfortunatly I am hardly online at all after work hours, and AIM etc is strictly forbidden durring work hours. So my account is wasting away. But if you ever see me online (it happens sometimes) shoot me a message. I am NAF1138 everywhere on the net.

I'm on AIM the most, usually at night. My AIM is Atarus47 (original, I know). I also have MSN and I think I have Yahoo on this computer as well (but don't quote me on that), but I usually only get on those if I'm prompted to on AIM.

Adium is my conglomerating IM client of choice for the mac, and Pidgin for PC. Now if someone would just hurry up and build a client that does the same thing for managing friends and default personal info for social networking sites...

I have MSN and AIM, but not YIM.
MSN name merestil at msn dot com. That's open 90% of the time I'm online. Just say hi.
I can easily open AIM (where I run under the screen name merestil) if someone gives me a reason.

I don't use Yahoo or MSN messenger (I was going to say I don't have them on my computer, but I think my roommate loaded Yahoo messenger at some point). My AIM name is JelazaKazone.

If anybody wants me, unlikely I know, but I'm on all 3 of them.
Thanks to hockey monkey for helping me test AIM.
Further to Cookies suggestion, I am currently using "Trillian" to keep all 3 in tandem.

I'm adding everyone to my contacts list for whatever messenger flavor they've listed. I realize that I only shared one of my nics, so don't be alarmed if you're ping'd by a random kate, d3wbi3, or dewbie at g mail dot com...they're all me.
