I've been using Trillian for a long time, and I utterly love it. Best. Chat. App. Ever. and all that. (Really, if you haven't tried it, it's just amazing. AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, all in one place.. It does everything the others do and then some. It even archives AIM chats). But if you haven't heard, AOL blocked Trillian users. Bah! So I now have a choice, run Trillian and AIM, or no AIM at all. Neither was very appealing. But then I came across this idea on FilePile:

I know some of you will be installing the 'real' AIM client as a temporary measure until Trillian is fixed. This is understandable, as not everyone can wait indefinitely to talk to their AIM buddies again. But I do encourage everyone who is following that path to do one thing: Go to your favorite warez/cracking search engine or page, and download and install an ad banner blocker for AIM. Remember, being a greedy corporation, AOL is blocking Trillian because in their mind their revenue is in some way or another in jeopardy. Trillian users get free use of the AIM servers and their efforts without having to view their ads. The ads in AIM are the only way they get money from the service, so if you're going to give in a little and install AIM, please keep on defying them--and block their ads. I believe this is all about the advertising.
And there you are.
