Mac user looking for chat ap

I run a MacBook Pro Version 10.7.5 and am looking for the proper application for the scumchat. I've tried various measures, but Macs have this terrible ability to tell you the correct application to use. If anyone knows what the proper application/set up/steps needed to get a Mac to run the scumchat, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for the PC I have yet to order.

Scumchat runs AIM - an older version of AIM.

Okay, I got this running (more or less because I found that AIM is an application, not just a chat service).

Edit: I've got AIM downloaded, so I clicked on the button that says "Scum chat" on the bottom of the webpage. Naturally, something has to slow me up. I get a new tab that pops open on firefox, (Which stays blank) and the AIM chat window I have running does not seem to catch on that it needs to follow this link (which is not actually a window, it's running as an application). I'm not sure if this is just because I haven't been to any chat or just have no links, but I see no available way to search for a chat.

Most of us use pidgin or trillian, because AIM no longer actively supports the exchange that scumchat is on, whereas they do. (Technology is dumb.)

Chamber's sig has more information on how to get there.
