  @oelma__ I still have an AOL address. The only thing I never used was a waterbed.

  @AverageJohnEVR @Lightningmaxi Believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve emailed & contacted them a handful of times. It was originally a lost password. Once I found the password, the account was then flagged due to inactivity, and a new IP Login attempt. The only recovery method they provided to me was resetting the password through email or phone number. The issue however, is I used a Skype phone number (dead service) and an @aol email address I no longer have due to inactivity.

  I used that name to on a game called Phantasy Star Online. I plugged a GameShark full of mangled code I copied by hand off some aol site. Big mess but got it to work well enough to kill other players or freeze their game by casting magic in brightly lit areas. Too many pixels? Games crashes, can’t render it. Problem was neither could my game! What to do? Lobby teleporter. Hit em with the grants magic spell just as you also click teleport back to game lobby server place. Ophelia 14. Place to be. I also robbed em all of their weapons. Then later gave them out to noobs for frees. I made a game and laid all my goodies in a pile and said take what you want. Fun stuff!

  Bending Spoons is an Italian company that just bought Airtable for $1.2B 3 weeks after going public on Nasdaq. They already own AOL, Vimeo, Evernote, WeTransfer, Eventbrite, Brightcove, and about 50 other products. Revenue $1.3B in 2025, over $600M in Q1 2026 alone. Market cap briefly hit $25B. Their playbook: buy American tech icons at a fraction of their peak valuations, cut 75-85 percent of staff, raise prices, optimize margins. Evernote was bought for $200M after being valued at $1B. Eventbrite for $500M after IPOing at $1.76B. Vimeo for $1.38B. Now Airtable for $1.285B after being valued at $11.7B. The shopping list writes itself. Public SaaS is trading at 3-5x revenue, down from 18x in 2021. AI fear has crushed valuations across the board without distinguishing between companies that are actually threatened and those with deep workflow lock-in. Some categories that are mispriced right now: project management tools like Asana and Monday are trading at fractions of their peaks while still growing and serving enterprise customers. Collaboration and communication tools that have real user bases but stalled growth. Vertical SaaS companies where the software is deeply embedded in industry workflows that AI cannot easily replace. Developer tools with loyal communities but no path to the multiples their investors need. More European companies should be doing this. The 2021 vintage of overvalued American SaaS is a generational buying opportunity. These are real products with real revenue and real customers, just priced wrong because someone raised too much money at too high a valuation. The preference stack crushed the common holders and now the assets are available at good prices. Also, European companies have structural advantages here. Lower cost bases to operate these products and no pressure to hit Silicon Valley return multiples and operational discipline built from never having had the luxury of burning cash.

  @heyraven_io @WildComputers How much does the creation of a single tiny hat cost you in USD? How many of your users are paying for the service? You are the equivalent of AOL giving dial-up minutes at a loss in the name of "growth" or non-viable dot-coms burning tons of VC capital in the name of "growth".
