AOL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • BGrueskin Bill Grueskin (@BGrueskin) reported

    @emmanuelfelton A friend did that years ago to stop his AOL email service ($20 a month)

  • bruingeek Long Covid Gladiator (@bruingeek) reported

    Mixed-in with my daily deluge of email are multiple app developer folks (mostly non-US) who ask if I need help creating apps & sites. Am I the only one who gets turned off when the email address is ".AOL" and not a personal/business domain name?

  • ElRobboGActual El Robbo G (@ElRobboGActual) reported

    @rumblevideo @RSBNetwork Not sure why you're crowing about this. It's not hard to crash some 8th rate "network" that only MAGAts have ever heard of. What a 3 bit operation like yours built on anyway? A few Pentium 486s running Win3.1 with an AOL dial-up backbone?

  • ReagentTroika Reagent (@ReagentTroika) reported

    @PuffFacts Help me, I've run out of 100 Hour Free AOL disk

  • Treestryder Nathan Hartley (@Treestryder) reported

    @Don_keyedjote @elonmusk @muratpak Facebook is AOL without its one useful service, dialup access.

  • IQ_Adventures Infamous Quests (@IQ_Adventures) reported

    10 years ago we were toiling behind the scenes, all of us working remotely, using forums, AOL instant messenger, then MSN and ultimately Skype to talk in real time… I remember writing and drawing terrible sketches artists turned into absolute visions… we worked hard.

  • stevenconway2 Steven Conway (@stevenconway2) reported

    @midtownbuck #ThanksForNightmareMemories Nothing more frustrating than trying to connect to AOL for an hour with busy signal after busy signal...then FINALLY connecting...just for someone to pick up the phone disconnecting you starting the process all freaking over again! lol

  • metrologist Jesse (@metrologist) reported

    @AlexKintner3 I never did MySpace. Skipped that phase. Went straight from AOL to Facebook then things went downhill from there… haha

  • robchandhok Rob Chandhok 🇺🇦 (@robchandhok) reported

    @benedictevans Recall when AOL and Yahoo thought about integrating their messaging - they couldn't (at the time) afford big enough pipes to handle the bandwidth of just "online status" updates between the two systems. These are large scale issues, as you point out. This isn't just "make it so"

  • im_notthe1 F.B.A ALL DAY (@im_notthe1) reported

    @CoxHelp this is the worst service I've ever had is this dial up service or AOL from the 90s your service is horrible #coxcommunicationsisterrible

  • ljanem Jane (@ljanem) reported

    @madrid_mike Had anybody told Palin she’s been replaced by Crazy/Stupid 2.0, #MarjorieTaylorGreene ? Palin is AOL dial-up.

  • QueenBlkMamba Dr. Nicole Lawtone-Bowles 👑🐍🐉🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ (@QueenBlkMamba) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp You service is horrible you can not block the spam emails on mobile phones🤬

  • reckless nilay patel (@reckless) reported

    @jimmylittle I think AOL was busy making other gigantic strategic errors

  • J_Lawrence34 BigJess3 (@J_Lawrence34) reported

    @OutboundSalvo MySpace was the ****. Not ****. THE ****. The site was so fun and it’s where we all learned to code. Sorry AOL messenger was your gold standard

  • SlappyofMalley Slappy (@SlappyofMalley) reported

    @jollygoodbitch @_benjvmins_ When I think about all the random AOL chat rooms and **** I hung out in when I was like 8 Oof

  • GooberPyle5 Goober Pyle (@GooberPyle5) reported

    Interestingly, this is also what the AOL/Time Warner merger consent decree required - AOL Instant messenger had to open its APIs to allow open exchange and address book portability. That was 20 years ago - before any of the Twitter, Facebook, Google oligopoly bullshit went down.

  • whatisthisbox4 Bean, Mr. Bean (@whatisthisbox4) reported

    @Phoenix65163935 @nutshell729 Not everyone, no. But on social media sites, 99 out 100 times people aren't fully honest & why should they be, for most people this is just a bit of fun. Have never used any social media for anything serious but then I grew up with AOL. Anything net related is purely for fun

  • JustinLonero Justin Lonero (@JustinLonero) reported

    The customer-buyer communicating (messaging) system on eBay is archaic. How can a $45 Billion dollar company in 2022 be less user friendly than AOL instant messenger?

  • Jennife75145177 Jennifer Crews (@Jennife75145177) reported

    @HasLahlStopped @Advo_Katy AOL and chat rooms were popular but I could only be on the computer an hr a day unless I was doing a school project. I could only talk on the phone 10 min a day. **** by time internet connected I was about 15min into my computer time.

  • kiraSmi12614858 kira Smith🇨🇳🇷🇺 (@kiraSmi12614858) reported

    @freeyomomma @SpokespersonCHN Don't be funny, you watch too much FOX,CNN,BBC,AOL news, self-righteous people and countries, most of the time people don't need your help, America is not the world leader and world policeman.

  • wanyinbot Jiang Cheng (@wanyinbot) reported

    Jin Ling. Come help me guess Wei Wuxian's AOL password

  • jmbaute Kelvin Helmholtz (@jmbaute) reported

    @davidfowl @shanselman Most problems come from users with aol email addresses.

  • HarryFromCBus Harry From CBus (@HarryFromCBus) reported

    Trying to stream CBS Sports Network is like using AOL dial up. Trash. #USMNT

  • PiPrimePi Pi Prime Pi (@PiPrimePi) reported

    @LegalTinder @albieXBT eBay never flipped Amazon. AOL never flipped Google. ETH won’t flip BTC. Ex. No one knows how many ETH exist, so mkt cap calc is impossible. It’s the most opaque $100B+ asset (besides USD, Euro, Gold, Oil) Seen this game before.

  • rgr_park rgrpark (@rgr_park) reported

    @blackmambabtc @hufhaus9 Bruh I was in $mcc v1. All the newer #FaaS projects improved upon $mcc. $mcc was first, but is now the worst out of all #faaS. The first isn't necessarily the best or we'd all be using AOL still.

  • jimmylittle Jimmy (@jimmylittle) reported

    @reckless AOL nearly abandoned AIM after this merger. Sure, it was great that Adium and others could aggregate AOL, gChat, IRC, etc, but it was a terrible experience that reduced every service to the functionality of the worst one. Interoperability is a lowest-common-denominator game.

  • cecedoesstuff ✨They Call Me Cee ☁️☁️☁️ (@cecedoesstuff) reported

    I’m gonna have some Degrassi thoughts over the next few days. Ride with me down this memory lane. Thought 1: Emma is the reason my dad had all the blocking possible on my AOL account.

  • TraiHill The Ubiquitous Mr. Hill (@TraiHill) reported

    @apark2453 I've been dealing with "Terms of Service" since AOL was included on a free floppy disk taped to the front of magazines. I'm that old. I don't understand folks who pretend not to understand getting TOS'd.

  • young_bisquit_ brownie (@young_bisquit_) reported

    i don't know how long i can be on social networking cause i hate the internet.. it leads to open servers in live interaction.. i never thought i would say this but aol was quieter through wired connections.. apple is at work at the moment to trying to fix it..

  • NiedsG NiedermeyersDeadHorse aka NDH (@NiedsG) reported

    And a paper invoice for my AOL service
