...move the sheep off the horribly buggy add ridden AIM to yahoo messenger...
Funny, I have maintained accounts on all the major IM providers for years and use programs like Adium or sites like Meebo to manage them.

In the last 2 years or so, the only IM spam I ever got was on YIM, and I got more then 2 or 3 per week. Since the only reason I maintained a YIM account was to stay up with the one person I knew who used YIM, and since that one person had started using another service and hadn't signed onto YIM in over a year, I stopped logging into it.

Then, since the only reason I maintained a Yahoo! account at all was for YIM, I deleted my Yahoo! account as well.

I never get ads or spam on AIM, though I'll reiterate that I don't use their client so I am less likely to get their own advertising.
