AIM Signon Blocked

i received a really odd message today when i tried signing on aim. it said that my screenname was blocked. i loooked at the reasons for this and i can't say that i violated any of them. is there any other reason you guys can think of that this may have occurred? or has anyone had this happen to them?
thanks

Someone may have reported you for something. Check with AOL to see if you can find out why.

i've been hearing rumors that aol is cutting screennames because their server loads can't handle them anymore. i'm not sure if this is ju st a conspiracy or what, but i can't thinko f ANY reason whatsoever as to why i can't sign on anymore, i looked through the terms of service agreement adn i most definetly didn't abuse anything.

I believe that's just one of the pranks getting IMed around.

Maybe someone warned you to 100%?

no, the thing is that i'm not even online for an extended period of time with this screenname. truthfully i don't know what it is, so i guess i should stop stabbing in the dark here, i just am kind of annoyed by such a seemingly unreasonable occurence. atleast my main screenname hasn't been blocked (knock on wood). either way i will offer the advice, save your buddy list!
