Why no AOL IM spam? With all this talk, Im curious.
 

Why is it that there isn't any AOL IM spam? (other than the fact they are suing people now). ICQ has it all the time, probably due to their dumb numbering scheme, but I have never seen one for AOL or Yahoo.

Anybody know why?

I know someone who wrote a sweet AOL IM bot a while back that collected names and logged the chatrooms they were in. it could have been easily converted to give great segmented user groups.. (ie.. people in the sex chatroom are pretty good candidates for porn).

There's plenty of AOL/AIM spam.

yeah

there's a ton

who's good w/ aol progs anyway? i'd like to speak with someone

hit me up

Really? Weird. I've never gotten a single one!

Maybe they are only targetting true AOL users, and not the IM only users?

pinging you now.

LOL WTF are you talking about? There is TONS of AOL IM Spam. Just ask half the GFY members.

Fear, Filters and Law Suits

I have never got a spam via AIM. I am not an AOL member though.

Go into a aim chatroom - wait 2 secs

I get web cam girl spam via IM all the time

It's Spim. And why don't you want to cam with me? :(

Yep, Spim. A word everyone will know about very shortly.
