  • 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?

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • GlendaF77551891 Glenda Flores (@GlendaF77551891) reported from Falls Hill, Virginia

    Jocelyne if you slept with Jason it’s cool…😒 You think I’m dumb right? I seen your porn collections and all you AOL chats 😒 The original convo was you slept with Meylene 😒 You think I’m stupid.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • DrTraceyK Dr. Tracey Perez Koehlmoos (@DrTraceyK) reported from Arlington, Virginia

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • zellishrows zellish (@zellishrows) reported

    I’ve had the same aol email address for 20 years because I’m a lazy bastard. They’ve moved over to an app now that emails me adverts. I now have to change my email address on EVERYTHING. This will be a mammoth task. Hang on....did I create my Twitter account with it? ****.

  • DexGottaGo Dex (@DexGottaGo) reported

    @ReupMir she only uses aol and she never stays up past 9.

  • MaxV2016 Max V (@MaxV2016) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Email on my phone using Outlook for Android was working fine. All of the sudden, it kept asking me for my password. First it kept telling me about wrong password. Now it tells me that server is timing out. However from my Outlook on the Desktop works fine. Help.

  • buffalopauln Paul Nicholas (@buffalopauln) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Hi. I’m trying to help my mum. All her old emails have gone overnight. We’ve checked filters. Then we looked in all folders including old email, spam, trash, deleted. tried signing in and out of the app, website, - no change.

  • agarwalsw Swati (@agarwalsw) reported

    @_glnarayanan @myntra So true @amazon is far better than u guys.. pathetic service 2 of my items you aol have screwed with.. no wonder everyone is experiencing poor service standards.

  • u2girl1966 Kim 🍷 (@u2girl1966) reported

    @RogersParkMan @TMobile Same here. My phone is fine, but anything done on my laptop is AOL circa 1996 slow.

  • The_Crown_Royal The Crown Royal (@The_Crown_Royal) reported

    @AOL where's the damn story?

  • IDSCookie78 Shannon Gould Bersch 🥓🍔🍟 (@IDSCookie78) reported

    @OctopusCaveman Wtf? I guess I got lucky. I was married for over 13 years to a guy I met on AOL. I met my current husband on a dating app in 2014.

  • wardeerent War Deer Entertainment - #M4A (@wardeerent) reported

    @FoxMulder010 She's gonna put those AOL CDs in her ****** books and send them down there.

  • 2LsInSyphilis Monsieur Cadieux (@2LsInSyphilis) reported

    @HushThrush @TheBLD44 Probably keeps his Just For Men hair dye on top of a 20 year old AOL CD so he doesn’t damage the cheap countertop.
