AOL Outage in Rayleigh, Essex, England

@BekoUK I bought a Beko VCS5125AR Upright Vacuum Cleaner in Red from AOL 27/2/21 and in the past week it has cut out after using it for 10mins and did not restart for 20mins. Not happy. I would like it swapped for a hoover that works competently for the use it was bought for!

@theretrobyte I think I would still have been with Dungeon/FlexNet back then. Never used any of the likes of AOL, Freeserve, etc.

@anildash I can remember Microsoft trying to launch their own network to compete with the internet or so it seemed, I joined got an account then had to wait about an hour, via dialup, to cancel it, back to AOL it was for me.

@aolmail been three days since we have had access to our emails. Not getting much help from #Aol at the moment. Please help us get back on line. #badcustomerservice

Can someone please tell me how I’m receiving continuous spam emails to an AOL account I NEVER created? Like it from spam, but it says in the To: “deadname@aol” ???

@mizshellytee It hasn't meant that since the main online chat service was AOL Instant Messenger & you had to remember all your friend's screen names. I'm guessing you're over 30 :-D

May I scream here that I hate AOL news judgment? Yeah, I have Gmail. But I have to go through this gauntlet of poor journalism when looking into AOL stuff, where my older clients find me. It feels like bad headlines should be illegal or at least carry heavy fines. Words matter.

2/x. they had to log into their email account via a website. Obviously the login failed but now the person has the name & PW. They were pulled in a chat room and told that for $4.99 per month they could get AOL email with various security features

@T_Gracchus @cosmoksmom It’s so much more than that but sounds like you’ve never really been. I also prefer their wings over Buffalo Wild Wings bc they’re fresh not frozen but I also still have an AOL email address. 🥴

@rivercitywriter @VincentPascual Besides just being a word salad the best I can assume you are saying is just stupid. It was created in the days of aol and prodigy, not for any sinister plan

I never had AOL growing up (we had earthlink) so i to this day have no idea what AOL keywords were despite living through them

@wendelltalks Connect spread the gospel as being poor practicing matthew7:7, meaning to the fullest. Before finding Jesus Christ via aol, myspace, hotmail, yahoo, caramel I used to flirt to women all over the world, got acquinted send them money when needed.

@Blizzard_Ent yall need to stop sucking ***. Played @Diablo back in the day with less server problems and I was using AOL dial up.

one day you logged off your AOL account not realizing you’d never log back on it ever again.
