Recently I’ve been hopping on aim again seeing as I’m taking a break from IRC, but the client just ticks me off, mainly because in both the regular as in the new and glossy Triton version you get the most annoying ads imaginable, which are seriously distracting when you’re playing a game and you see them scrolling in the corner of your eye on the second screen.
So after a little searching I found this little gem: Aim Ad Hack. It doesn’t matter what version of aim you currently use because this program will automatically download the correct new aim program and patch it so you get all the new beta goodness from Triton (assuming you go for the 6.x version) but without the crap.
