All the good AIM ScreenNames are taken!
:cry:

I've spent all day trying to come up with a good new ScreenName that isn't already taken. I've gone through all my favourite songs and such looking for every s/n possibility, NADA! all taken.

WTF mate? :wtf:

2. How about Placebo with the last two numbers of your birth year after it?
Or another name with those same numbers?

3. I couldn't believe "JohnShoopSucks" was open.
But it was, and I took it... right in the prime of John Shoop's suckiness.

8. I got most of the ones I wanted
But I was on AOL in 1993, right around version 2. One of mine, which I never really use but happens to be highly sought after, is [email protected]. Since then, I've had a few people ask me how I got it, and I told them it pays to get there early.

On the other hand, I suggest you try mixing different favorite names. It's how I got a few on Yahoo, and managed to snag a couple of good ones on "new" email programs.

At any rate, good luck. :)
