Its kind if funny that Apple Facetime and Facebook are the way my child speeks with his grandmother. He loves his grandma, but the tech will forever be old and lame as a result.

The same will happen to Discord, too. Personally, I still think ICQ and IRC are the epitome of chat applications.

DeadAIM by JimADI was the epitome of chat for me... There was AIM+ as well...

It seems like yesterday we NEEDED to hack a chat client to remove ads to make it usable... Kind of how we use adblocking on web browsers to make the web usable...

While removing the ad was the first feature I think tabbed messages and message logging were the most popular DeadAIM features
