And I don't know about cash or otter, but I don't have AIM at work. The nice thing about GC is that you can come and go when you have time. I can't sit on AIM at work. But I can post on GC when I have time.
I think there is really no comparison for GC and AIM. Completely different. Besides, why not take everyone in the random thread and say, "Just have this conversation on AIM." It's not reasonable. And there is no reason why we should have to do that.

They have a version of AIM that goes through your browser window. You don't need to download anything in order to use it.
The random thread is pretty different given that probably a hundred or more posters post in that thing -- it would be pretty difficult to move it onto AIM. With three people, it's an entirely different thing. Even if you feel that you can't use AIM, there are plenty of other websites you COULD use.
It's not like I don't know where you're coming from. A couple years ago, other GCers got annoyed when we posted H&A-based threads on GC. Instead of starting a million H&A threads (okay, I'll admit, we did that too, but it got boring after about two days), we moved our conversations to AIM or LJ. Simple solution that makes everyone happy -- yay!
