Posted: 4/15/2009 5:02:44 PM Well the admin is not being criticised here about AOL discontinuing the IM application, myself and the other folk here are just voicing our opinion that it should be brought back! Without the IM it does not stand out against any other social networking sites either, like another previous poster said. and if you pay for anything on a 'FREE DATING SITE' the site is not FREE anymore is it?  steve442 Joined: 9/21/2008 Msg: 26 (view)   IM Posted: 4/15/2009 4:22:12 PM Damn right its straight to the point and easy! and who cares who owns it, just bring it back!  steve442 Joined: 9/21/2008 Msg: 23 (view)   IM Posted: 4/15/2009 3:42:31 PM I think IM should be brought back, like the lady said it was a useful tool! A good way to exchange a quick 'hello, how are you doing?' message without the bother of sending an email. From my experience I have emailed a number of ladies out there who share the same interests and appear to fit the requirements to what I am looking for and out of them very few have replied. Its nothing to do with the quality of email or what is said, its to do with time and energy to reply and I would say the majority find it an effort to reply to every email even if its a thanks but no thanks, every time. Als0 for those who are disheartened by the lack of replies, IM is a effective way of messaging someone without having to send a long email and not get a reply afterwards. Those of you out there who find it annoying and do not want to use IM all you have to do is choose the option not to accept IM messages in your mail settings thats what it is there for. No point whining about it. True there are a lot of 'wierdos' and 'nutters' out there who abuse this service but there still is an option to block them and you never have to feast your eyes on their words ever again. So in my humble opinion, re-instate IM as I found it fun and useful   Show ALL Forums
