It appears that the server that miniaim used has been taken offline. miniaim is not compatible with the “normal” (OSCAR protocol) AIM servers, and as far as I know, the server that was taken offline was the only one that supported miniaim.

So, for the moment, miniaim isn't usable.

I've had a few e-mails asking me if I will update miniaim to support the OSCAR protocol. I'm not yet sure if I'll do that. I primarily use a Mac these days, so I don't use miniaim much, and it will be hard to make myself work on something I don't use. :-)

Thanks to everyone who used miniaim over the years! Hello, folks. Sorry for the long delay; a lot has happened since my last update in October of 2006.

My mother passed away a couple of months ago after a two-year battle with cancer. I know it's an odd subject to bring up with the older women in your life, but please remind them to perform monthly breast self-examinations and to make appointments for mammograms yearly. If you have a little extra money lying around, consider donating it to the American Cancer Society, especially if you intended to donate this money to miniaim.

In other news, I have picked up development of miniaim again, and I hope to have a version out sometime soon. I have completed support for Direct IM chat and file receive, and file send (what everyone really wants, right?) should be relatively painless.

Also, I removed about 500 spambot accounts and their posts from the forum. If I removed your account, just sign up again.

Thanks for continued interest in miniaim, and a special thanks to everyone that pestered me to release "one, final version." There will be more to come :^) A small update: the next version of miniaim should support Direct IM, including chat and file transfer and receive. It appears that the remote side will have to initiate the connection, but after that, you will be able to send and receive pictures, music, and other files. Screenshots of this will be posted soon. In the meantime, let me know what you think in the forum! This new version is meant as an update to the previous beta test. It resolves several issues that came up in testing. Thanks for all your help in debugging the beta test. A final release should be out soon! Too long has passed since the last update, so here it is. :^) I am asking for help in beta testing the latest build of miniaim. A lot of changes have been made since the last version, and I've done a lot more coding than testing, so it's really integral that I receive help. You can get more information from this forum post. Thanks in advance! Hello, miniaimers. Well, after thinking long and hard, I have decided to delay the next version a bit longer. I have divorced miniaim from the CRT, and reimplemented the CRT functions that miniaim used. This provides a whopping 33% size savings, but it introduces a lot of issues that I have to resolve. You may trust, though, that when it debuts, it will be pretty neat!
