WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WHAT

December 15th, according to the IM I got from their system messages when I logged in today.

AOL System Msg:

Hi there! We wanted to let you know that AIM will be going away on December 15, 2017. Until then, you can continue to use AIM normally, but as of December 15, AIM will be discontinued and you will no longer have access.

Thank you for being an AIM user – we loved working on this product for you. Learn more here: https://help.aol.com/articles/aim-discontinued.

Yeah. My brain broke when I heard about it.

I’m just like. Stunned. I never could have even imagined that AIM would ever…. not…. be there. And now it’s disappearing, and there’s going to be a new generation born who won’t even know what AIM is? o.o

Oh wow, I had no idea it was going under entirely – I’ve comfortably moved to discord but that’s a surprise. MEMORIES

I knoooooooooooow. Literally two decades of memories, like. My entire internet life, with AIM as a way to talk to friends. ❤ I mean, I know other messengers are around now, but. Not quite the same, yeah?

WHAT THE WHAT.
