  Highly recommend anyone still using @AOL to stop immediately. Its impossible to login on different devices and when the verification code isn't received customer service is useless and just hangs up without explanation just saying they "can't proceed with the call"

  @hthieblot apps didn't exist but Gamestorm. AOL was running a $2 an hour game service for a few early MMOs like Starship Troopers battlespace. Even Spades cost $1/hr. Eventually a game service called "Gamestorm" had a bunch of games like multiplayer Warcraft 2, Godzilla Online, Starship Troopers, Aliens, Silent Death, Legends of Kesmai, board games ..etc for $15 a month. So everyone from AOL could play Starship Troopers or Silent Death (Both top down space shooters) unlimited and we would regularly take breaks on the other games. There wasn't anything else like it at the time. Then all the games got deleted and rights issues means they all disappeared forever, rip.

  @KieranWrites $$$ and the fact YouTube still gets more content uploaded in 10 mins than you can watch in a year means it's pretty much impossible to compete. The real issue is DMCA is from 1999. Internet has changed from the AOL free Internet disc days.

  @NotTodayEric I had a 22 year old ask me what "aol" was the other day. She looked at me like I was crazy when I described the discs that came in the mail and played her the sound it made when it connected to the internet. Damn kids have no idea what we went through.

  @Based_SpaceGoji Fun fact from the prehistory of the web: In the summer of 1993, when this movie came out, there were no web browsers. (Using AOL was nothing like surfing the web a few years later.) So there was no easy way to go online and look something up, and resolve a disagreement. For example... I knew at least two kids at my high school who were SURE those were pterodactyls flying away at the end. I was like, "Dude, they were pelicans. Why would the heroes be calmly watching and smiling at dinosaurs escaping the f---ing island?" But there was no way to convince them. No way to just go on a website and look it up, and show them. The fact is, before everyone had easy access to the web, life was full of really stupid little disagreements like that, especially when you were a kid. Did the kid from the Life Cereal commercials die from eating pop-rocks with Coke? Did Alfonso Ribeiro break his neck doing a headspin? For me, at least, those pelicans at the end of Jurassic Park were the last example of that particular kind of stupid argument. A year later, Netscape launched. One more thing... I always wondered if Spielberg heard stories of people mistaking those pelicans for pterodactyls, and was annoyed by it. Especially when I saw the sequel, and it ends with what is very, very clearly a pterodactyl spreading its wings in the sunlight. As if Spielberg was saying, "Here, dumbasses, THAT's a pterodactyl."
