Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Washington, D.C. and nearby locations:

  • laurenskahn Lauren Kahn #BringOnVaccineMandates! 😷 (@laurenskahn) reported from McLean Hamlet, Virginia

    banned. It happened to me over 10 years ago on the old #AOL travel message bds. I simply set up my own website & never involved myself with travel bds again. Some of the bullies became monitors on travel advisor's bds. W/o proper monitoring, sites become the domains of bullies.

  • francvs francvs (@francvs) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @AOL Why have I been seeing “We’re having trouble connecting with our servers. Please try again later,” for about a day now?

  • ShirleyImMilk G. Double D. (@ShirleyImMilk) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    Were talking about “What cultural item are you older than” at work. We’re slow. So far, I’m older than MTv, AOL and VHS cassettes. This is a fun game to make me feel like I AM ACTUALLY THE OLDEST IN THE STORE. I don’t like this game... I’m taking my slap wraps and going home.

  • gatlingxyz Tavon (@gatlingxyz) reported from Huntington, Virginia

    I'd known about #DnD but never played. Not even the geeks/nerds in my school played, as far as I know. And most of my schools have always been predominantly Black, so there was no representation. (I did do a lot of text based RPing on AOL tho)

  • Messe3Christina Christina Sheryl Messenger (@Messe3Christina) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @AOLSupportHelp I have been trying to get to deactivate the my account but when I called Customer Support, they’d told me that I would not be able to deactivate it for a year!! 😭😭😭 Please help me!!

  • KarenCarolina84 Karen J (@KarenCarolina84) reported from Coral Hills, Maryland

    @aol email is still down

  • wardthreedc Ward Three DC (@wardthreedc) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @jstrandt Got to film their 5 millionth sign up party at KaloramaStudios in Adams Morgan and they never paid me! I went on Aol because my dad was CompuServe and I didn’t wanna be old LOL

  • JaydeColer Jayde Willow Coler🏳️‍⚧️ (@JaydeColer) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    He IS a security risk but I’d say he’s more like Netscape (old as shit and useless) or the old AOL software (kept around far longer than should have been because people liked the one catchphrase it had)

  • Jimbo3DC Jimbo (@Jimbo3DC) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @woolfhound That was precisely my experience with NYT, and it reminded me if when I had similar experiences trying to cancel my AOL or Bally's membership. Tacky and desperate.

  • HeySheckie Sheck'quon 🤷🏻‍♂️ (@HeySheckie) reported from Bethesda, Maryland

    @ESPN your iPad app is literally one of the worst playback devices I have ever used. It’s like watching video on a 1994 AOL dial up. app.

  • RichardH1818 Richard Hanson ✡ (@RichardH1818) reported from Merrifield, Virginia

    Email server Recommendations anyone? AOL has been the host for mine--but now they've made it hard to use. They now put different, and very distracting, balloons at the beginning for each message. I don't want a message service that makes it harder.

  • KarenCarolina84 Karen J (@KarenCarolina84) reported from Coral Hills, Maryland

    Why is my @aol email not working? 😢

  • Helen_Highly HelenHighly (@Helen_Highly) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @Doc_Harding @Nerienis Perhaps their sudden popularity (and unprepared infrastructure) will destroy their success, like it did AOL back in the day with the busy-signal fiasco. 🫤

  • perk713 DatDudePerk (@perk713) reported from Springfield, Maryland

    If you never heard of Cingular Wireless, Wachovia Bank or AOL..Address me as Unc

  • SkeezeeWonder Anfernee Harlemway (@SkeezeeWonder) reported from Suitland, Maryland

    @freshleebaked Nah **** this I’m going back to AOL groupchats

  • MarkBjorge Mark Bjorge (@MarkBjorge) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @ebooksyearn Even their status-title “network” is anachronistic in the modern telecom world. They’re like AOL back when it was a closed ecosystem.

  • MissInformation Heather Perram Frank BA (@MissInformation) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    @annasproul I was one of a handful of producers in the Dulles, VA AOL newsroom on 9/11. The campus was evacuated after a plane that departed from the adjacent airport slammed into the Pentagon. I’ll never forgot having to sit on my hands because they were shaking so much I couldn’t type.

  • JoelBurner1 📚The Paige Turner (@JoelBurner1) reported from Kensington, Maryland

    @MysterySolvent A fart horn. A small confederate flag & lapel pin (she would never ever wear in public.) And, the phone numbers of, Ron Watkins - "Q", Jim Watkins, AOL emails & Reddit names. Also, Madison Cawthorn's mothers cell.

  • bucketOfBuckets Connor McGowan (@bucketOfBuckets) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @aklingus There was like a 6 month period in the mid 90s where AOL chat rooms were a fun place to hang out… and when you started a convo with someone you’d have to rapid fire emails back and forth because there was no private chat or instant message system

  • AgarWoodCapital TTT Nguyen (@AgarWoodCapital) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    There can be no risk-free opportunity in sports, business or life. Failure is catastrophic bc of a lack of preparedness. Sears, DC redskins, Blackberry, AOL, & NYC knicks were at the top of their game, but they failed because they were afraid to fail. #failureispartofsuccess

  • PrinncessA__ ForeverYhumi🕊🤞🏽 (@PrinncessA__) reported

    Do anybody know how to unCC or remove and aol account from gmail? I don’t even have a aol email, yet I’m getting all these emails sent to this aol which is somehow linked to my gmail. Help pls

  • ReporterDarius Darius Goodman (@ReporterDarius) reported

    Now that I sit back and think of it.... Why DID we leave @AOL? Chatrooms were ahead of time back then. The UI was a bit clunky but it was fun. So, why DID we leave the service? (The obvious pay wall notwithstanding.)

  • frog4gtc frog4gtc (@frog4gtc) reported

    the AoL's living room had no overhead light, & we never got enough lamps in there to make it feel well-lit. my little lr here in gunny has an overhead light, & i have a floor lamp i bought off the marketplace last year, & it's so well-lit, i just really appreciate it.

  • BS19790208 B S (@BS19790208) reported

    @BarstoolMintzy @kellyinvegas This had to have been filmed on a Nokia phone with an aol dial up network.

  • Nailah_Writes littlemissinnocent.com (@Nailah_Writes) reported

    It’s 2022 and @AOL still hasn’t fixed their spamming issue. I’ve been getting a lot of spam email from an aol account that’s attached to my name that I NEVER created. Wtf! Y’all need to fix this asap!

  • tattooedmewtwo Mick Lovin (@tattooedmewtwo) reported

    I will never forget that in an AOL checkers chat room a random person and i started talking and he suggested i take a video of me pooping so he could watch my ******* expand.

  • barelyamelia Barely Amelia (@barelyamelia) reported

    The responsibility we have a slow news day already. Verizon buying AOL.

  • KevinITM Kevin K (@KevinITM) reported

    @DigitalisHomo Reminds me of the stupid **** AOL did back in the day

  • oliviathewrld elsi🦋 (@oliviathewrld) reported

    one time last month i spent DAYS making an AOL themed carrd and i cant stop laughing at it like it looks GREAT but whyd i do that . i have obviously never used AOL

  • ARCE59826 Amanda Cooper (@ARCE59826) reported

    @AOL I need help accessing my email but I don’t have access to the recovery email or number associated with my account?
