So I put together a quick little program called AIMAdRemover that exactly replicates Jon's directions on the first post of this thread:

jonathon.onthefive.com/aar

This is the first build, so there could be little bugs, but I've tested it out and it appears to work just fine.

If anyone wants to give it a try, go for it... and let me know how it works out, and if you have any problems...

I tried the method in the first post, but Vista wouldn't let me save the files after I changed them. I then went on my notebook which has XP and changed the files, saved them, and replaced them on my desktop that is running Vista. Just FYI...

JonathonReinhart, I think you forgot to include a link to your program

Thank you very much for this!

One question though, is there any way to remove the actual space where the ad used to be so that there is more room for the buddy list? Right now I just have a big AIM icon where the ad used to be.

Thanks again!

Sweet thanks.

@Telamon, on mine the ad space is gone and the buddylist fills it up. If it doesnt on your make sure you saved your changes to the files.

Also im using aim ver 6.5.7.20

I pray to god
that you're right before my eyes,
bathed in white light,
with halos in your eyes

Yea, for some reason my ad space did not fill up with just those changes. I did, however, find another post by Jon8RFC (can't find it again though for some reason or I'd link it), which said to change something in the bl.js file. I tried that as well, and it didn't work either, but I changed something a few lines down that looked like it affected it and it worked.

It was:
C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\imApp\your_version\content\bl\ bl.js
Search for: scene.getBoxById("adContainer").collapsed
The first one that comes up is the one I used, then I set value collapsed=true (it was false).

There are several more instances of scene.getBoxById("adContainer").collapsed after that, but they were all already set to true.

My aim is version 6.5.9.1

I hope this wasn't too confusing and that it maybe helps someone. Thank you again Jon for the changes.
