  @N_and_ni We used books and went to college for computer science. You had to figure it out and there were no forums yet like stack overflow to tell you if your code was wrong. You’d text a guy you knew for answers on a 3 inch flip phone screen and you’d get on AOL voice chat or call them to figure it out. Hence why I became an engineer instead of a full time developer. It was really hard and most people I knew failed out of comp sci and became engineers. It used to be the hardest degree you could pick outside of advanced mathematics. I took years coding classes. HTML and CSS, C++, python and at the end of it you’d barely be able to code a calculator, card game or website and they looked like ****. I was the best web developer in my class and I still had a website that looked like I threw up on the screen because that’s all that the code would allow you to do. Lots of windows lots of boxes lots of squares in general. Everything was square and grids were big. Bright colors and ****** animations. But there were no rules. You could quite literally create anything you wanted and there was nobody to tell you no. I mean there were a dozen websites you could watch the Iraq war and people getting blown up. Crazy **** that doesn’t exist now or only on the dark web. They live streamed people dying and you’d go to school and there’d be some crazy *** video your buddies would show you that would scar you for years. We saw guys go record wars, dudes ******* all sorts of weird stuff, people hurting themselves and everyone had a crazy video and they never got taken down or suppressed. They were just there on Google if you searched for it. Everyone was creating the next big website similar to the AI craze. We didn’t have online Call of Duty you’d have to LAN party so we would build **** with our friends and you’d code all weekend in between halo and drinking at the dorms all weekend. Code all day then party all night and repeat. I was the infrastructure guy and I could build the hosting platform and my buddies would help me code while I did the network and servers. You’d actually have to hand out business cards in public once a business website launched because SEO wasn’t a thing yet. So you had to sell people in person. It was awesome. I wish we could go back.

  @Stewbaccaa @WrestleFeatures Millions watched those “100 horrible Russo ideas” and kept coming back. Triple H removed the chaos, has unlimited resources and corporate support, and now even hardcores say the show sucks. Russo’s garbage kept an audience despite AOL. HHH has TKO, streaming partners and is DYING

  @PeterFonseca They sound terrible-a mix of old bad Nintendo music and AOL dial up noise

  @clawrence I think I pay less than $100 per year for a domain name, hosting service at Bluehost, and an account with Proton that includes email. It might add up to less than $50; it is a small expense. Having said that, though, you can still set up a free aol account and I have done so a couple of times when I ask publicly for responses by email. Using aol gets attention. Today’s aol email is a good free email service.

  @AOL The AOL 'news' has become very right-wing. It used to be fairly unbiased but now it's as bad as GB News.

  @SmashJT Reminds me of telling people on AOL 3.0 to delete System32 to fix their issue.
