Public service announcement: I’m no longer available on the AIM/iChat network. The amount of spam IM messages is getting ridiculous; about 25 every day. I advise everyone else to do the same, and move to proper IM networks like Google Talk or MSN Messenger.
That is all.

Sorry, but this doesn’t happen here. Instead, I get about 10 spam on MSN and nowhere else.

I also get more spam on MSN, because my MSN account is tied to a spam magnet hotmail account. I rarely get spammed on AIM. That said, I don’t know very many people who still log into AIM who aren’t also logged into Gtalk. I don’t log into my MSN account anymore, but I don’t have a real reason to turn off AIM. But if I were getting spammed, off it would go.
