Stay signed in for a long time without being on AIM

[swtlily]

Hi everyone, i've seen some aim buddies have their screen name on for a very long time (like 3- 4 days or more). Im not sure if they have their pc on all the time or not...But im just wondering if anyone know there is a way to stay signed in for a long time when you dont turn on your computer.

(for example you are on the vacation and u just want to leave an away message for your friends but u cant leave your pc on all the time )

Im not sure you'll understand what I wrote but if anyone know a way...please tell me...thanks alot...
p.s I tried webaim but it didnt work.

As far as I know, you cannot be signed on AIM with your computer turned off. Sometimes, if you are signed into AIM and then suddenly shut down your computer without exiting out of AIM first, your screen name can stay online for awhile or so. And if I were you, I wouldn't want my friends bothering me while I'm on vacation. After all, it's a vacation, stay away from the drama for a while

Correction, http://www.ai-buddy.com/ that is what I used to use if I wanted to be online when my computer wasn't, then I would just go there and check my messages, but I think you only get to save 100 messages at a time, so remember to check often and delete the messages after you look at them.

Hi, i tried visiting both sites, and so far ai-buddy is doing the best. However, i do not know why i keep getting kicked off ai-buddy. And when i try webaim, it never logs in...

you can only stay on ai-buddy for 12hrs, and if you have a problem with webaim, just keeptrying untill you get logged in.

sign up for the free service. you can have your messages forwarded to your email address or phone and it keeps your screen name on for a long time. I use this after I make a new screen name and want to announce to everyone that I no longer use that screen name. Give the free service a try.... it's what I use and I love it!

The most it does is display an ad at the botton of your away msg and an ad for your profile, but it's only when you are signed in through their service and not on AIM with that screen name. It's all web-based. Enjoy
