I think you have to save it to be able to recover it. Did you save it?

Depends on your AIM client.

When I used Trillian, it would automatically write everything into a .txt log somewhere on my HD, so if I wanted to I could delete or save it.

if you have dead aim...then it will be stored in the logs...which can be retreived in My Documents...

if you just have regular...you have to save it...i dont think theres any other way of retrieving it...

Maybe you can contact AOL or something?

Once I saw on this crimeshow about how a two pple were planning a murder on some instant messenger (pretty stupid huh) and that the police somehow were able to retrieve their conversation and used it as evidence.

Yeah.. The police can do that. AOL doesnt welcome everyone to search their massive server. They can not do that because with AIM you do not need to put in any personal information, other than an email address, so personal verification for retrieving a message would be difficult and not safe.

And no, there is no way of getting that message man. What was it anyway? Some bad *** free **** site?
