Some of the functions that are accessible to Administrators require that you have the ActiveList Manager
installed on your computer and your administrator password. (If you have forgotten your password, please
contact me and I'll set a new one of your choice.)
Administrators need the manager to view server information, disconnect and ban users from the list, change user access levels, and change the online state of the server, etc.
The ActiveList Manager is bundled with the ActiveList Server software. To begin using the Manager, simply download and install the AL Server by clicking on the icon below. Then, to manage the list, simply go to your contact list, click the SimActiveList Button and click "Manage List." You'll now have the server installed, so you'll be able to easily create your own ActiveList as well.

We've had plenty of time for inside jokes and fun.
To start off, GAR!!!! That's the official exclamation of the SimActiveList. We recommend setting this sound as your ICQ Chat LOL! sound in your ICQ preferences. (Extra-special thanks to Nick Steffel for the idea, and Ed Cory for the audio work)
Don't forget the ActiveList slogan: "You dare it, me, Simmy, the Maskchotten?" This works great for your ICQ Chat Beep! (Thanks once again to the creative genius of Mr. Steffel, and the vocal Talents of Ed Cory, as well as babelfish, to which we owe our beautifully mistranslated slogan.)

One of the primary
requirements of using ActiveLists is that you must be running ICQ 99b through 2000b.
The example to the left is using ICQ 2000b, but the 99b window should
look similar. If you want to download ICQ 2000b now, 
If you do not see the
ActiveList frame (see example on right) you will need to click the small AL button above your
contact list (
). In ICQ 99b,
this button may say "Show AL." In more recent versions of ICQ, the ActiveList button may
appear among the icons to the right of the contact list, as you can see on the image to the left.
Once clicked, the frame (shown
above, right) should appear below your Contact List as shown in the image to the left.
button, so that a menu like the one on the right
appears.
From that menu, click
"Find/Add an ICQ ActiveList." A search dialog box will now appear. Make sure that "Show
only online ActiveLists" is not checked. Enter the appropriate list ID (49283548) in the
"ID#" box as shown here, and click the 
button.
ICQ will
now display a list of ActiveList that matched your query. (only one ActiveList should appear.) Now click
on that item and then click the 
button.
If the list is online, the dialog
on the left will appear immediately. Simply click the 
button at the top of the window for a menu of
possible options.
