luapI did a thing.
I found https://github.com/mk6i/retro-aim-server and decided to set it up, Luckily the instructions are easy, and the result is available at chat.luap.lol
you will need an aim client.
There is no protection. You can log in as anyone, with any nick, and anyway. I guess I'll leave it like that for now, but i dunno how abusable such a thing is.
I'm logged in as luap right now!
