aim message
on aim, i sent someone two messages in a row. i sent the first one, then waited about a minute and sent the next one. i got this message,
ATTENTION (8:42:28 PM):You are about to be rate limited. Please wait a few seconds before sending, to avoid being rate limited.
ATTENTION (8:42:36 PM):You are no longer rate limited, and you may now send messages.
what does this mean? i have never gotten this before.
thanks!

This seems to happen to me a lot, I guess it is trying to tell me I talk too much:]. Anyways, it just means you are sending the messages too quickly. Stop sending messages for about a minute or so, and it should go back to normal. Don't send things as fast, and it will be fine:].

You're sending too many messages too quickly. My friend & I do this all the time. We have "smiley wars" lol. We send too many =] 's and then we get rate limited. Just slow down with the message sending and you should be fine.

I don't use AIM much and haven't done so in a long time but by the looksof that message the system may have been under the impression you are spamming someone (sending a high rate of messages to someone) so they prevented you from doing this by limiting the number of messages you can send at any one time i.e. you can't send message after message, you have to wait a certain time between sending messages.
This may have been set by the person you were messaging or the AIM system, I'm not certain because, as I said, I don't use AIM. All I can suggest is don't message bomb people (send a stream of messages, one after the other) to people to prevent being rate limited again.
You should be able to see an explination of what it is as well on the AIM web site somewhere.
