  • Athens1896 George Economides (@Athens1896) reported from Riverdale Park, Maryland

    @AOL Aol should get their stories straight. Tried to lower my costs and agreed to $5 plan, but still being billed $18.95. Can't get right person to correct problem. HELP. Long time user of AOL. HELP!!! Thanks in advance.

  • CapitolRailfan William Bolan 🇺🇲🇺🇦 (@CapitolRailfan) reported from Germantown View, Maryland

    Ok you new generation kids: What is AOL, and what did it used to stand for? What service did AOL have until recently? Do you know what a "dial up" is? Submit your answers below.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • NathanBacaTV Nathan Baca (@NathanBacaTV) reported from Germantown View, Maryland

    @LauraGellerTV You apparently didn’t see my smoke signal, can on a string or AOL Instant Message.

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

    @aol email is still down

  • 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.

  • 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

    Why is my @aol email not working? 😢

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • timothyjlarkin Timothy Larkin (@timothyjlarkin) reported from Olney, Maryland

    @BillSimmons Like trying to cancel AOL back in the day...

  • 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

AOL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AztekXYZ Aztek👨🏾‍💻 (@AztekXYZ) reported

    @varcharr Had a customer in 2015ish tell me he couldn’t get on the internet anymore. After about 15 minutes of deciphering his request, turns out he accidentally deleted the AOL shortcut from his desktop. He was not aware of other browsers on his computer. AOL WAS the internet for him.

  • the_m4a Michael Fourre (@the_m4a) reported

    @CarmenCrincoli this reminded me of my "worst customer" because I still don't know what the issue is: She would call her local MSN number and the modem would fail to connect. Beeps, tones, nothing. At one point we tried MSN number in CA. It connected fine. Had her try local AOL. Worked fine.

  • StyoorT 5too5h (@StyoorT) reported

    @Halcruttenden I remember my uncle came home from America for the summer & gave us a new laptop & set us all up on AOL. I was rude in a sports chat room and they suspended our entire account & every username associated with it. This was 1997, seems like it's gotten easier to get away with it

  • GreeneMcclendon sebrina greene (@GreeneMcclendon) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp my email is down. It has been down for several hours

  • Pliny_theElder arithmetic mean joe green (@Pliny_theElder) reported

    @Bowsnonk i keep getting more impressed that shingy got aol to pay him a staggering amount of money to come up with this exact ****

  • sean_eggman Sean Eggman (@sean_eggman) reported

    Can anyone tell me how AOL advertisers have got my info that I got my mother the vaccine when I never filled out any of the special survey stuff they gave me at the site? I am inundated with spam on vaccine surveys now.

  • the_m4a Michael Fourre (@the_m4a) reported

    @zarchasmpgmr @CarmenCrincoli Would that make a difference in connecting to remote-side modems? I don't know enough about that... local (in-state, diff area code) MSN numbers, fail to connect. local AoL number (IIRC - free CD was 1-800, but you'd get referred to local) and cross-country MSN, connect.

  • knwbody_ Sake-papi (@knwbody_) reported

    @NotLoBassMusic @wreckno Just recently tried calling someone on messenger and I immediately had to tell the mans right after we were done that there's no ******* way in hell we're ever doing that **** again. **** lags harder than AOL when the phones off the hook

  • mairin Máirín Ní Ḋuḃṫaiġ ᚋᚐᚐᚔᚏᚔᚔᚅ #BLM (@mairin) reported

    @slpnix One of my friends / schoolmates wrote naim (started as an AOL IM client but became a really nice IRC console client), I used to use that, either locally or on remote console. Looks like there's 4 CLI matrix clients including weechat support.

  • HuguesDeBalzac Hugues de Balzac 🏴‍☠️🧢 (@HuguesDeBalzac) reported

    @BlateWald That old chestnut... I've very used the internet with anonymity since 1990ish. Not about to start now. Actually all those n00bs who came online post 2005 have effectively ruined it or even those AOL free cd ones. They were the worst.
