After 20 years AIM is shutting down. I hadn't thought much of it until the other day. So many people I met on AIM. Role players, writers like myself. Many I haven't talked to or seen for years, and the likelihood of doing so now is slim. I have to say I do miss some of those friends, and some of those stories. It was a lot of fun. It was where I discovered the Furry Fandom, where Buck was first made. Much of my early adulthood revolved around it. It's a sad thing.
