AOL Issues Reports Near Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

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

  • 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. 🫤

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    Why is my @aol email not working? 😢

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @aol email is still down

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • StepToTheMic Kodi Seaton (@StepToTheMic) reported from Washington, D.C., District of Columbia

    Some of you have never spent a summer messaging a complete stranger on dial-up AOL Instant Messenger and it shows. 😫 #LoveIsBlindNetflix #loveisblind

  • RAVENSBlood5220 💜🖤Blood Girl🦇Raven💜🖤 (@RAVENSBlood5220) reported from East Riverdale, Maryland

    The Invasion angle should've been the most epic moment in Wrestling. Without all the major stars from WCW, it never lived up to those expectations. Very disappointing. There also was no Twitter to explain those AOL contracts for those stars too. #RuthlessAggression

  • 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)

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

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

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tomselliott Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) reported

    @AppleSupport — It’s hard for me to adequately convey how awful Mail is; AOL on dialup internet was about 1,000x faster than this useless program. Any plans to ever make it usable?

  • joematheny CryptoNomad (@joematheny) reported

    @jack @allenf32 You guys will go down into nothingness just like Napster, AOL and MySpace. And there's not a damn thing you can do about it. At least you'll make a great example of what happens when social media icons think they're God. Sit tibi in infernis arderet.

  • JSto JessicaMae Stover ✘ Author of Astral Fall (scifi) (@JSto) reported

    @xoxogossipgita Aol in its heyday had a specialized company that moderated boards. So it's not like it wasn't the top standard from go. Of course that went away when subscription-based service couldn't compete with "free." (There were also the community moderators that sued, a different story.)

  • CarrieGately Carrie gately (@CarrieGately) reported

    @getongab I’m trying. I signed up for gab, but can’t get a confirmation because AOL is blocking it per people trying to help me. Not gab people - twitter people.

  • belghast Belghast ⚔️ Insufficient Mora 🛡️ (@belghast) reported

    @ComfortablyAdv AOL was an interesting place and had some really cool communities, but most users of that service had no clue the things they were paying for, existed for free on the internet. AOL chatrooms were just heavily moderated and sanitized IRC for example.

  • Setophaga9 Setophaga (@Setophaga9) reported

    I get a notification from AOL- this 22-year-old student athlete tragically passed away; I'm reading the story about this great kid, his leadership & he's loved by everyone. After it, there's an arrow to click: "Shop Now". Who TF goes shopping after reading this terrible story?

  • ShaneAd98924582 Shane Adams (@ShaneAd98924582) reported

    @briantylercohen AOL chat rooms are about to blow ******** up!

  • L422Y Ꮤ 1 Z̶ Δ Я D (@L422Y) reported

    @jeriellsworth **** that was my last free 32 hours of aol

  • BunRab BunRab (@BunRab) reported

    @Venneh @xoxogossipgita Heck, the old AOL forum hosts. We had plenty of experience in shuttung down people starting almost 30 years ago.

  • purple_iri Iri 🦊🦋 (@purple_iri) reported

    The article I was reading lists Luo Yunxi's character in Ashes of Love as one, and I'm just 😭 IT ALL MAKES SENSE. I never managed to finish AoL because I felt so sad for Run Yu
