AOL Outage in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, England

@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

@neilperkin You'd think they could find a fix. This used to happen with all AOL accounts showing up as 'Virginia' 20 years ago!

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.

@teleject @meyerweb It kinda does though... With MSN Explorer (yes that was a thing in 2001, competing with AOL) we enabled "toast notifications" and the name was because "the little thing popped like the toast on the screensavers." Real toast never does that. It sits there. It sometimes Burns.

@londongirluk @AOLSupportHelp Still not working 😠

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

@AOLSupportHelp I’m trying to get into my email password help

@1womanworkforce If he’s working from the aol ap I would delete it and reload. We had a problem with aol a while ago. The old Ap wasn’t working. Change the password just in case on your web version.

@aolmailhelp hello, my mum needs to delete her AOL email. We can't sign in in order to delete it, please help - thank you.

@stevenc48977003 @EBischoff Probably the fact that everyone that talks about the collapse of WCW only mention the product being put on tv and the lack of new stars being shown and the constant rehashes of the nWo. They hardly ever talk about how bad the AOL/ Time Warner merger was

@AOL Some idiot has incorrectly put down my email address as their recovery email address. How can I prevent you from repeatedly emailing me about verification codes?

@JayPharoah @ericonederful I think we should treat him like the AOL free trial and ignore him

@Lilithiel @belghast I dig Belghast's analysis on this and have had similar experiences, I think. And I never thought I'd say it, but volunteer community moderation is something AOL did really well on their forums and even most of their chat rooms.

@AOLSupportHelp I need help pls. Please follow

@RadioFreeTom ICloud come-ons are the AOL diskette of this millennium. That, and "I would like to join your professional network" emails.

@VDAREJamesK Ominously, it was after Ted Turner lost control of CNN that it became a more explicit node of Neolib Manufacturing Consent (purging Pat Buchanan & Lou Dobbs). Time-Warner-AOL-Comcast-Jeff Zucker is bad for the West, but ideal for the Deep State & SPLC.

Anticlimactic... don’t bother ro read. It’s like the typical AOL stories I see every day, but now disregard, because their so blown out of proportion or just plain stupid!

@FrontierCorp @AskFrontier are your services broke in SW FL? All your service phone numbers don’t work and the internet is crappier and AOL ver 1.0

@GetSpectrum is the worst internet provider since AOL, but at least AOL had an excuse because it came throught the phone line. Spectrum on the other hand runs their service from out of the middle of Madagascar, in a water logged shack, on a server that animals use as a shitter.

@Gamewatchable @AOL damn

Hiring McKinsey is a negative signal. "McKinsey advised Time Warner on its merger with AOL, one of the largest and most disastrous mergers in history. It spent more than a decade consulting for a sleepy Houston energy company named Enron."
