AIM has been discontinued

Hi, while perusing the Messaging section of my account, I noticed that the "AIM"  field is still present. However, shouldn't it be eliminated?

hi Mathegocart

I don't see this field in either my own profile or yours.  Please explain what that acronym stands for.

Re: AIM has been discontinued

You're right to observe that.

On December 15, 2017, the AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) service was formally shut down.

The field you see in your account preferences is no longer functional and is an antiquated relic from that time period.  It ought to be removed from the existing profile settings on the website.
