AIM "Member Since" doesn't work quite right with metacontacts

Description

If you have a friend with two or more AIM screennames and you view their information, it will say things like:

screenname1's member since:

screenname2's member since:

I really dunno what can be done or if anything even needs to be done here. It doesn't make sense to make it so long as to say "screenname1 has been a member since", but as it is it's not terribly appealing either.

As a side note, where does Adium get "member since" information?

  • milestone set to Adium X 1.3

The info comes from libpurple which likely retrieves it from the AIM server. All entries are in the format <username>'s [attribute] where attribute could also be 'photo' or 'screen name' or 'status'.

I don't know if this anything we can do about it, but it should be decided upon before the release of 1.3 if there is.

How about we just not show that information at all.. when have you *ever* cared how long someone was a member of AIM?

(In [24368]) Some code cleanup, and removed display of the 'Member Since' data for AIM contacts since nobody cares in the least. Closes #10385
