I actually recall trying it a while back and you'd be lucky if
frequent disconnects were the worst you had. I found that it would
just crash whenever I tried to log into my MSN.

I think you're reacting to a problem that doesn't really exist. Yes,
there's no way really to take the log out of the list without
deleting it which also deletes the corresponding log (note you could
copy your logs for backup purposes though). But you're not going to
end up with a huge chat log. If you look at the transcript viewer in
Adium, each log is separated out by contact and date. There's no
reason you have to look at a log from a year ago if that's not what
your after, pull up the date you're looking for. Further, there's a
pop up button that allows narrowing of the date selection, as well
as a search field to look through the logs either all of them or on
a per-contact basis. So, I think you're looking for a solution to a
problem that really doesn't exist.
Note: Fire is no longer being maintained, in fact most of the Fire
developers are the ones now working on Adium. In particular, it's
not very compatible with the current MSN protocols, so you'd have a
real issue with frequent disconnects on MSN if you tried it.

OK, I know this has come up before on here, and I know that I have
been told it's impossible, and it's not that I dont' trust yall, as
much as I feel it's rather rediculous that there would be no way.
I know that in preferences, under general, I can set Adium not to
log messages, however, I figure, is there notta way to keep the log
however clear it? I looked in the edit menu and saw an option
called clear, but it's dimmed. I mean, dang it! I don't want to be
chatting with someone a year out from today, only to find that that
unknown item when interacted with, gives me a log from a year or
more back to the present. That's um, kind a, not good? I know I
could do vo shift end to get to the bottom of it, but still! that's
kind a not very good programming in my opinion, to not have a way
to clear that log upon command, or at the very least, set it to
keep a log only for x amount of time. Frankly, I'd almost be
convinced to switch to Fire, work in progress, or not, if I can't
straighten this out. I know a lotta people may just say, get over
it. Deal with it, for god sake, and, frankly? call me picky, I
know, but, dont' you all think this is just a little stupid that
they'd not have a way to do this? Boy would I be interested in
knowing if there was a way that I've missed.
Chris.
