Are you on your own (AIM, YIM, NIM, CD) Buddy list?

[Elgin Clock]

If so, why??

[shyra1353]

im on my own MSN list .. only to see how my name shows up .. because sometimes it shows one way to me but everyone else sees it as something else ... its weird .. but thats my MSN for you ...

and i used to be on my own AIM list until I switched AIM accounts ... and that was because I am easily amused at times and I like how you can msg yourself .. and you can also see your how your profile looks to others ...

[Ryan M.]

Really, Elgin... what was that all about...

This may just be funnier than the evil overlord thread... :rolleyes:

;) Not really, I get it. (Sort of.)

[Dorienne]

Lol I am because I just check my profile to make sure things work, and also to test if I go hide from people who I think are evil. Like Arefin for example...;-)

[Billfred]

I have it on there so I can get into chats without pestering others.

[Elgin Clock]

lol Ryan.. idk..

Anyways, I'm on my own list. I just use it to see how my Profile looks, or what my current IM buddy icon is, or to test out links that I'm gonna send to someone.

I also invite myself to chats when I get booted. As long as they are not named chat #38237832734348743 or something weird like that.

[Alex Pelan]

Of course. Then at least one buddy is always on.

[vVigglEs]

[Brandon Martus]

[Matt Attallah]

Yup - as stated above - to check my profile/make sure everything is workin' ok.

[Bcahn836]

[tkwetzel]

How many times do you have to check if you get a reply to yourself?

[looneylin]

[Katie Reynolds]

I'm on my AIM from back in the day when I used AOL and sometimes my name went "ghosting" (how annoying). I suppose I could take it off now, but it's nice knowing that there's always someone online when I am!

... Why would you put yourself on your CD buddylist? :p

[Kyle Love]

I'm on my own buddylist because it's cool! :rolleyes: HA I also use it to check out if all my links work.

-Kyle

[JVN]

Yes,
I use the same buddylist for multiple screennames (I love that save/load buddy list function), so they are all on it.

This way when I'm in the lab, I can see if I'm still online back at the apartment.

[Arefin Bari]

[Jeff Rodriguez]

Yes, for profile formatting resons.

[evulish]

Nobody else replies when I message them but me :( That, and to see if I'm away.. as I have the away box hidden.

[Aaron Lussier]

To check the profile when I change it, altough I IM myself sometimes when I'm really bored.

I have problems with Trillian retaining/recalling my AIM profile, and to make sure Trillian doesn't accidently go out of my "hidden-idle" status.
