AOL Outage in Woking, Surrey, England

AOL would never go down. Is AOL still a thing?

@sigmasports I’m doing my best guys, bear with me. I’m doing an online chat with AOL online support and have Ask Jeeves fired up in another browser.

@KwakuMMNT 112 by default. Jagged Edge were broadcasting to us using 2001 AOL dial up. Horrible signal.

I still have an AOL email address so never question my loyalty

@NW6Rd You've just reminded me my contract is up with my absolutely appalling @SkyUK broadband. It's so slow it's like AOL dial-up

CompuServe when I first got online in 1995, MSN Messenger, the very occasional foray into Usenet. Tried AOL, ICQ, a few others. But never enjoyed them. Had both AIM and Yahoo Meseenger But only very rarely used them.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp I'm the same Julie. The app I'm using won't let me sign in

@mrjamesob @Independent has the worst Web page ever. Even people using AOL in 1998 would be appalled. I like to read articles before commenting on them but with that site I just can't. They could have a fully-working home cure for cancer on there and I'd just stick with the cancer tbh.

@GordonJohnson19 suggesting $TSLA is like $AOL is a cute punchline, but ridiculous. AOL chose to remain with dialup tech, letting competitors overtake. #tesla never settles for their technology advantages.

@korrasrevengers I mean, anyone can write ideas anywhere. If it is a convenient place to jot them down, why not? Everybody has phones. Some people like certain tools. Some people still cling to their @ AOL email addresses. It is a weird world out here. Some people record albums in Garage Band!

I have trust issues with people who still use aol,yahoo, etc instead of just gmail/@-domain-name

@gonefullcrypto Sure, right after ethereum flips btc. Predictions like this are pointless, imo. If you asked someone in 1998 if AOL would still be king in 2008, most people would have said yes. What if a third network shows up and beats out both? Hedging is better than predicting.

You know there was a time when being on a computer talking to a person you’ve never met physically was considered some weirdo ****? I know because I was called a weirdo during the AOL days. Now look at us. Socialization is a muthafucka ain’t it?

@meeware I sadly agree on your last point about recovering. I've been 'social' online since the beginning. '93 on usenet. Music forums. Even Compuserve rooms. Early Yahoo chat. ICQ! etc. CuSeeMe. NEVER AOL. :) It was a few years ago when I first thought "Oh no! What have we done!"

when I was a child i told my mom **** school and ever since then I been retarded with it thinkin bout nothin got the aol dial up sound in my head 24/7 i put that on everything walking with a limp cuz my wallet so fat they pay me not to come to they house and scream at they moms

@OrkiesSteve Brian Last claims Vince is going to sell but this is based on the layoffs and getting great deals with NBC-Universal, FOX, and USA. So the rumors might be cope over the deals he's been making to put WWE in a bad light (i.e., they're doing a WCW AOL and Time Warner merger thing)

Dug up my ancient mabinogi account from back when I was still into Touhou and lurked forums and there were people discussing it in those forums and the game was region locked to US only and I had to do some weird as **** AOL doohickey to login but I gave up Its been... 12 years.
