Posting AIM convo chat logs is not kewlies
A client created to facilitate instant messaging, a technology on the internets that allows real-time creation and distribution of lulz. Also primary communication method between LNN correspondents as drama develops. AIM has developed a following of users that own hiptops so as to always be connected through its mobile aim client.

Can also be used as a verb (ex: "aim me the url plz")

[edit] Pidgin

An open source version of AOL Instant Messenger. Thus, it sucks and is perfect for UNIX whores, fans of Mozilla Firefox, and Communists. Used to be called GAIM until AOL pwned them in court. Now the mascot is a big gay purple bird, and subsequently Pidgin is now the IM of choice for fags and furries!

Gained dramatic notoriety Last Thursday when AOL stopped caring about privacy, much to the dismay of the internets in general.

[edit] Trillian

The best thing about Trillian
The best thing about Trillian

Trillian is an instant messaging program which can connect to AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, MSN and IRC, allowing for faster, more widespread distribution of lulz as well as rapid cross-pollination between the networks.

It has a horrible habit of taking people's contact lists without their consent.

It also has a vast array of smileys, some with audio effects, which can be used like a pictographic language to represent some pretty sick shit. This feature inspires an amazing amount of loyalty among its userbase.

AIM supports child molestation.

[edit] Examples of Trillicon hieroglyphics

  • This looks a bit like a stubby cock and a set of balls: Image:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.png
  • This cat is of course a pussy: Image:Cat.png

Now with the two symbols most fundamental to all human communication, more complex pictographic phrases, concepts and sentences can be built by expanding the vocabulary.

  • Image:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.png
  • Image:Cat.pngImage:Storm.png

Many but not all concepts expressed in Trillicon hieroglyphics involve actions by one or two individuals. With one individual, the pictographic concept is read left to right, with the icon signifying the individual at the right. With two individuals, the individuals are on the left and right, with the action-related icons between them.

  • Image:Emot-wave.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Trill_neutral.png
  • Image:Trill_bigsmile.pngImage:Cat.pngImage:Storm.pngImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Trill_crossedeyes.png

In more complex pictographic sentences in which an individual receives something as the result of an action or performs more than one action, the item received or the secondary action may be placed "outside" — on the opposite side from the norm — of the icon representing the individual.

  • Image:Trill_money.pngImage:Trill_bigsmile.pngImage:Cat.pngImage:Trill_msn_icon.pngImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Emot-fail.gif -- note the "money" icon is to the left of the hooker.
  • Image:Emot-drool.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Trill_crossedeyes.pngImage:Trill_food.pngImage:Trill_toilet.png -- a blumpkin. (Image:Trill_food.png represents a steaming pile of shit according to Trillicon hieroglyphic best practices, or in this case, the verb "to shit.")

The passage of time can also be represented in Trillicon pictographic sentences, either by simply repeating groups of phrases, or by adding the Image:Trill_clock.png icon in between each phrase group. Time progressions can also be punctuated by a verb icon rather than nothing or the Image:Trill_clock.png icon. In the example below, both demarcations of time passage are used.

  • Image:Trill_angry2.pngImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Trill_bigsmile.pngImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Trill_pig.pngImage:Emot-shakehead.gifImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Trill_pig.pngImage:Trill_tsmile.pngImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Trill_pig.pngImage:Emot-nod.gifImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Cat.pngImage:Emot-dance.gifImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Cat.pngImage:Storm.pngImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Emot-drunk.gifImage:Trill_drink.pngImage:Emot-sleepyhead.gifImage:Trill_clock.pngImage:Trill_pig.pngImage:Emot-fail.gif

This phrase effectively conveys an angry alcoholic's beer goggles — quite a step up in complexity from a simple cock n' balls!

Many Trillicons are sent by enclosing a word in parentheses, for example, (pig) or (squirrel). If an appropriate Trillicon does not exist to convey a concept pictographically, users will often simply enclose the word in parentheses as if it did exist:

neurophyre: Image:Trill_neutral.pngImage:Emot-rolleyes.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Emot-dance.gif
neurophyre: okay that's the reality of doubleteaming
neurophyre: Image:Trill_wink.gifImage:Emot-yum.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Emot-dance.gif and that's fantasy
khelair: (rohypnol)Image:Emot-questioned.gifImage:Emot-questioned.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Trill_rofl.png Image:Trill_food.pngImage:Trill_leftarrow.png a better reality
neurophyre: *guffaw*
khelair: Image:Emot-LMAO.gif
neurophyre: (pill)
neurophyre: fuck
khelair: (meds)
neurophyre: Image:Trill_invisible.png hmm that's vaguely pill-like. Image:Emot-LOL.gif
neurophyre: (rohypnol)Image:Emot-questioned.gifImage:Emot-questioned.gifImage:Argh.gifImage:Thumbup.pngImage:Trillian_icon.pngImage:Trill_rofl.pngImage:Trill_ci.png
neurophyre: SMOKE WHILE YOU ARE DOING SO Image:Emot-drums.gif

The above chat log also illustrates two other important uses of Trillicons: adding emphasis (usually Image:Emot-drums.gif is used for this, as it also includes the sound of a drumroll) and enhancing lulz. The primary lulz-related icons are Image:Trill_tearlaugh.png, Image:Emot-LOL.gif, Image:Emot-LMAO.gif and Image:Trill_rofl.png. The last three include the sound of an innocent child laughing. This can directly enhance any lulz being had during a conversation -- audible proof is available here.

[edit] Trillian = b&

Using this hieroglyphic code in #ed will get you repeatedly b& for not sounding enough like the other kids at the lunchtable:

<Pokchu> anyway
<Pokchu> you gonna stop being a cunt
<ah-pon> you gonna get your idle finger off the button, fag?
<ah-pon> want an apology?
<Pokchu> i.e. trilly speak and flooding with useless shit

[edit] Miranda IM

Another open-source (And therefore another suck-ass) client. Has a tiny GUI, so you can lose your buddy list, and then go blind trying to read it once you've found it. It also has a tendency to crash when you're in the middle of a conversation. Another useful feature, or lack thereof, is the inability to block people. Thus, you will constantly be having conversations with Javier14895018351 about how great "FreE_V-iA-gRa!!!" is.

Currently in beta, Digsby integrates Facebook and Myspace (but not Myspace IM) so you're updated instantly when someone posts a bulletin or sends you a friend request. THANK GOD.

[edit] AIM Chats

At least 100 years ago last Thursday, the administrators that control AIM decided to make a shitload of chats that really are shit nobody cares about. They became the host of many fucktards, pedophiles, whores, 13 year olds, 16 year old girls, and most certainly a good number of fags.

However, the abomination that is AIM chats was harshly endorsed by the admins. They immediately saw over 9000 users in some rooms and immediately proclaimed success. The truth being that the chats were a shit storm of fail and faggotry.

With the arrival of trolls, however, the chats took a turn for the better with many lulzy happenings and countless memes being sprouted from it.

[edit] Beliefs Chatroom

killchrist13 - Definitely not you. He's much more SUPER KAWAII DESU NE ^_______^
killchrist13 - Definitely not you. He's much more SUPER KAWAII DESU NE ^_______^

The Beliefs Chatroom was established at least 100 years ago, and immediately fell under the control of Christians. In fact, it was widely assumed "Beliefs" meant "Christianity". The truth of the matter is that this brought much fail and faggotry upon this whole chatroom.

Then one day, possibly last Thursday, the Atheist Freedom Fighter, who was aptly dubbed "BlaznAzn1121" (having to switch screen names regularly due to the admins of AIM), appeared with his counterpart Atheists, jimmygnome9, misterrogers535, XDarlingxKissX, and a few more that have been dubbed as unknown.

Right away, on the first night, BlaznAzn1121 and his fellow Atheist Freedom Fighters virtually dismantled any Christian that stepped in their warpath of justice. The main antagonist was "christianmanandg" and his completely fail group of believers. Using logic and complete truth christianmanandg and his entire group was entirely, publically, and openly ousted. Logic, wisdom, and complete truth was all it took to beat the Christians, as usual.

As the story progressed, we saw a rapid decline in the amount of believers coming in. Thus, it is proven that BlaznAzn1121 and his group ousted the last of them, causing them to completely go 404. However, it wasn't the end of antagonists in this story. New ones arrived, as did new protagonists.

Along came derbitrr, claiming to be a fierce master debator. In truth, he turned out to be a fag, fucktard, and a typical 13 year old boy. Along with derb came ashjones2003. Ash, as already projected by many upon first glance, turned out to be a typical whore, bitch, and 16 year old girl. She also can be classified as a common weaboo. However many antagonists and fags joined the cast of Beliefs, there were a few additions to the protagonists. lordnimm, dubbed as "Steve" by BlaznAzn1121 (the story behind that name is simply unknown) joined the cast as a fellow troll and atheist.

Another addition to the chats was mellajiz (we had some nice lulz over the word "jiz"), who came in as a Christian. Although it was possibile that she was going to be just another 16 year old girl, this proved false when she used amazing logic and truth to make a Christian see the light that is Atheism. Mella also utilized her skills in the ousting of many other believers, creating countless lollercoasters for BlaznAzn1121, lordnimm, and the other Beliefs characters.

We also gained killchrist13, who, needless to say, was completely rutheless in his warpath of justice against the tyranny that was Christianity. Using logic and complete truth, just like our hero, he ousted many Christians and furthered Beliefs' rise.

However, this rise of allies was short lived. In time, derb and ash's subsequent and unavoidable faggotry became too much for BlaznAzn1121 and lordnimm, so they became the new targets of the Atheist Freedom Fighters. With the use of logic and complete truth once again, as well as utilizing alts (the meaning of alts is simply unknown), derb and ash was ousted and thus no longer an issue.

With the antics of BlaznAzn1121 and lordnimm combined, along with the occasional appearance of jimmygnome9, the entire cast of Beliefs was eventually ousted. BlaznAzn1121 and lordnimm soon realized this and simply abandoned the shit storm of fail and moved on to bigger shit.

Today, Beliefs lies empty and completely deserted. That'll show them AIM fags, amirite?

There are many, many, many other lulzy and simply flat out outrageous events in Beliefs that will certainly send you on the lollercoaster of your life. However, this editor thinks most of this shit will be pushed aside as boring


[edit] Memorable Beliefs Things

ashjones2003 - No, that is not a guy. We thought the same thing. She should become an hero.

On last Thursday, some fag of a 12 year old called "jmuir" appeared in Beliefs and had the most lulzy bitch fit ever. Pretty much the funniest fucking thing to ever hit beliefs. Sadly, he was just a year under the age of a 13 year old boy, which would've made it all the more lulzier.

 
 
(lordnimm): how old are you?

(killchrist13): yeah man, how old? we have to know. (blaznazn1121): i bet he's like 10. (jmuir (on cam): 12 U ASSHOLE! (knocks over cam in lulzy rage)
 


 

—jmuir - Sadly...this fucktard has deleted his aim profile. It seems he may have become an hero.

In the faggotry that was derb, BlaznAzn1121 made an alt of derb which subsequentally resulted in his departure from Beliefs.

 
 
(derbitr): hahahahahaha i asked nearly 10 girls for cyber and made you look like a fag

(derbitrr): no man, fuck you azn. fuck you. stop trying to take away my only happiness. (derbitr): hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha (derbitrr): if you want to make fun of me and slander me DO IT UNDER YOUR OWN SCREEN NAME
 


 

—derbitrr - A prompt supporter of this article - THE INTERNET IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

A certain member of Beliefs that deserves the fucktard spotlight is armoredsaint7.

 
 
(BlaznAzn1121): half the time you don't even know what the fuck he says.

(lordnimm): yeah (lordnimm): and then there's the times when he just...sits and watches (BlaznAzn1121): most likely jacking off to the conversation (armoredsaint7): and they this to kill, the Lord bestoweth and the time of peril to the gates of Heaven
 


 

—armoredsaint7 - Yes. He really fucking said that. Fucktard. Amirite?

Of course, there's plenty of other stupid shit that is LOL-able...but it's simply a mystery, as is much of AIM chats.

[edit] Other Lulzy AIM Chat Happenings

  • Gaming Pals! Originally coined by the NGG, this was made famous in AIM Chats by lordnimm and BlaznAzn1121. This link explains every term used in the chats. The lollercaust that ensued this was eternal. This was also used as a major trolling technique. And it never failed.
  • Niggers and fags - Famous catchphrase of BlaznAzn1121 seen nearly everywhere he went. User mades, over 9000 people rooms, etc.
  • The Great Crashes - A series of AIM crashes that occured mainly to the hacking of BlaznAzn1121. The lollercoaster that ensued was purely accidental, as the main objective was simply to rid the internets of the abomination that is AIM.
  • beau2ifldisaster - One of the lamest of all 16 year old attention whores. However, her overall act and appearance created a lulz party for all Beliefs members, even the fags.
  • The date was last Thursday or some shit. The place was the user made chats...Teen Chat Only =)). Possibly one of the most fucktarded things to EVER hit AIM chats. k2korver3 and sillycheez12 - please see this article. Go to "Lulzy Fucktard Quotes From Aim Chats". Can't find it? Don't know why? You're probably a fucktard then.
  • 12 U ASSHOLE - As noted above, we had a 12 year old come into Beliefs and rile things up with a nice bitch fit that ignited eternal lulz for all. This is a simple reminder and a shout out to jmuir. Where ever he may be. Possibly becoming an hero as we speak.
  • Losing all your passwords to HACKERS ON STEROIDS
