Aim Triton Downloads Blocked, Users Cry Foul!

Update October 24, 2007

All versions of Aim 6.1, Aim 6.2, and Aim Triton will be blocked in the upcoming months.

Aim Triton was blocked early this week, as AOL forced users to download Aim 6.5. Most AIM Triton users complained about this forceful upgrade and vented their disgust over how complicated 6.5 is.

The surprising part about this whole experience was that there are actual people who want to use AIM Triton. Aim Triton was pretty much labeled the worst version of AIM ever, and it slowly evolved into Aim 6.5 today.

So I was pretty much shocked finding actual supporters of Aim Triton. Since I always upgrade to the latest version of AIM, I really haven’t stuck by with one particular version. I’m always used to waiting a month and a new version comes with new changes. So as we bid a fond adieu to Aim Triton, may it rest in peace. Members share their last words to Aim Triton.

The Following are quotes from Aim Triton Users

"We should start a "Bring Back Triton" group on facebook" ~disgruntled

"I agree with everyone on here…AIM 6.5 is terrible. I want Triton back. The thing that bothers me most is when I rest my mouse on a screen name in my Buddy List to see that buddy’s away message, the away message is all smooshed together…it doesn’t show the away message with spacing or anything…that’s not how they wanted it to look!!!!!!!" ~user2

"yea Triton is awesome the new aim sucks alot. too much crap on the dashboard so instead of me just lookin over to see whos on i have to scroll through" ~neverforget

"i can only use stupid 6.5. its so worthless. triton was perfect. 6.0 wasnt bad either. why cant we use it? how do we get triton back?" ~angryuser

"I agree. I’m really upset about this new change and what is worse it says mandatory security update, not a new version change. Very misleading. I want my triton back. " ~upset

"My life was so much easier with Triton and none of this AIM 6 and AIM 6.5 crap. AIM should really consider bringing back all the versions if it wants to continue getting new people. " ~supporter
