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

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

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

    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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • _dispossessed blæke ᵖ ŃØRMÆŁ -2000 (@_dispossessed) reported

    Being 25 and having to explain the cultural impact of AMV Hell and searching "Funny Family Guy Death Note" on YT to people sucks. I had 50 Naruto Linkin Park bookmarks on my mom's AOL account. Younger zoomers just don't get it...

  • JGiiiy Jessica Gillette (@JGiiiy) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Yeah, no that doesn't work for everyone. I have never, ever heard of an email support costing money. Guess it's time I take the bullet and get rid of you guys. I'm not paying for "support" when the people don't even know what they're doing.

  • AudreyDrummond4 Audrey Drummond (@AudreyDrummond4) reported

    @NatalieHopkin2 @AOL Frustratingly annoying. Takes hours to fix. I feel for ya.

  • autarken ᴀᴜᴛᴀʀᴋᴇɴ #NoWar #M4A #GND #AbolishPolice #BLM (@autarken) reported

    @ShantMM you're so unfamiliar with anything approaching the Left it's like somebody cut out magazine clippings of words and mailed them to you with the AOL CD you use to get "online" before you sharted this out

  • gothwhoopass 🖤emo fruitification beam 🖤✊🏽 (@gothwhoopass) reported

    asked a worker at journeys to send a receipt to my aol account and she said “what is that? i’ve never heard of that” TIME TO D*E

  • emmarey10893288 emma reynolds (@emmarey10893288) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp since yesterday morning I have not been able to access my emails, said I need to verify password, I’ve no idea what the password is, I’ve tried to change the password and it says not available try again later, I NEED to be able to access my emails, I need help!

  • Johnjaym18 matea (@Johnjaym18) reported

  • 4ParksBushcraft 4 Parks Bushcraft LLC (@4ParksBushcraft) reported

    @CenturyLink Why have I not looked for another internet provider yet? With you guys I'm constantly either buffering or disconecting. Its like I'm using AOL dialup while someones always talking on the phone. Hell I'm getting to the point I wont mind paying more for decent service

  • aneea1 Deborah A. Clark (@aneea1) reported

    @ericgarland I just read this on my aol news, these people are stupid

  • SpringwaterJune SpringwaterJune 😷🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 (@SpringwaterJune) reported

    @gmail - why do you send me email that is addressed to my first name @aol.com? Seems like gmail would be smarter than that. I've never had that email address, but you continue to send me all sorts of spam that isn't addressed to me. Some is caught by the spam filter, but not all.
