AOL Outage in Chingford, Greater London, England

@reece_dinsdale The other two are "Welcome to AOL: you're connected!" and "Goodbye...th-that's it." Damn I need to put these on my new laptop!

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

@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.

@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.

I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. If it doesn't work, they shouldn't take my money. @TalkTalk is a useless outfit too. I was called for months by fake Indian call centres after their data hack. My home internet sucks. @AOL @Ofcom

Utterly useless service from AOL/Yahoo/TalkTalk yet again following my complaint reference the breakdown/failure of their systems. So irritating when you pay for a service and don't get it. I was told by a rep ref. AOL: "it's a very old platform.." as if that was an excuse. @AOL

Some of you never had a 1 hour per day parental control limit on your AOL account and it shows

My direct debit to @TalkTalkTV I think will have the same broadband width they expect me to pay for . ZERO. WORST SERVICE EVER ITS LIKE AOL DIAL UP.

AOL was the shit

@AOLSupportHelp hello. All my old emails have disappeared. Is there a problem with your servers?

@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?

@aolmail Hi, my AOL email isn’t working, it’s a first for me, is there anyone to help with this?

Jin Ling. Come help me guess Wei Wuxian's AOL password

It has since largely done itself little service. I still believe the platonic ideal here is better than most alternatives. FB still seems like a 15% better AOL

@_Credible_Hulk >implying aol isn't the glorious email service of the vanguard

I really do miss the days when going on the internet was like a whole event. Getting on AOL for an hour (if even) so you didn't hold the phone line up too long, eager to hear that "you've got mail" notification to see what friend or crush from school sent you some dumbass shit

@XboxQwik AppleTV will only succeed due to captive audience. The excl content is awful. Disney will succeed because it’s Disney and now owns 1/2 of Hollywood. Mark my words, t AT&T WB buy will go abt as well as the AOL merger. They’re destroying HBO creative, and it’s already imploding

@AOL is aol mail down, it says my account is deactivated due to inactivity but I've been in it today.

@skylineghosts I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT I just looked it up and I... I'm very excited if this happens. It's Inti Creates... If Grezzo gets to make an LA remake, Inti Creates should be able to make an AOL remake as well 😌

@fenmori Some /vr/ guys and I tried to make one a few years ago. It was gonna have a Kid Dracula review, kusoge ("shit games") section, an old Commodore64 WW2 Bomber micromanagement game, and a subversive review of Zelda AoL. Sadly it folded over disagreements on direction/audience.

@JeannieG40 I heard all they have down there is dialup and aol instant messenger

@MrsDeise 390!!! Holy shit. Orla did we work with him in AOL. I’m convinced of it.
