  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

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

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • 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.

  • AdamLovesFood Adam Levine (@AdamLovesFood) reported from Chantilly, Virginia

    5 Jobs I’ve had: 1. Intern / Mascot @ABC Kidzine on @AOL 2. Catering Staff at countless DC Caterers 3. Founder / Owner of JAM Productions and the Exchange VIPs 4. Sales/Service at @CustomInk 5. All things SEO @Appian

  • 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.

  • wanyinbot Jiang Cheng (@wanyinbot) reported

    Jin Ling. Come help me guess Wei Wuxian's AOL password

  • BougieBrujas Jay. They. Intuitive Reader 🃏💫🔮 (@BougieBrujas) reported

    ♓︎: A text from a person you didn’t expect. Could be a Taurus ex; A money miracle may happen by tomorrow morning with the help of an Aquarius or Gemini (chocolate milk, aol, and old school cash registers are your other signs)

  • IdenixH IdenixHunter (@IdenixH) reported

    @Zzzakharoff I remember getting scared out of my 2000 shares of $MSFT at $17. It was actually the very bottom and I was part of the final capitulation. It never saw the low of $17 ever again. Biggest winners: I was super (low single digits) early on AOL , GILD, VRTX , MEDX , VRUS , IDIX

  • homo___simpson jt (@homo___simpson) reported

    the grindr 🚬‘s these days have a lot of nerve— no I do not “have IG to verify”! old boys in the 90’s used to meet up to **** with an AOL chat name and a prayer! nowadays it is a full IRS-style audit

  • NewStyle303 NewStyle303 (@NewStyle303) reported

    @JamesCridland @valentineinvest @benedictevans Maybe you didn't catch that Rogan is not Spotify, Drudge was not AOL. You, however, are you. And, even in that bad nonsense, the you that is licensed is liable, because that version of you is the content creator.

  • KimberlyStands KimberlyStands (@KimberlyStands) reported

    @TrueIroningMan @RobertCooper58 @squirrel_no AOL account, secure as putting your password on a Post-it note in the office. Compare, they never found Hilary’s emails. Pretty good security by any measure. And you know they spared no expense looking.

  • pink_floyd78 pink floyd (@pink_floyd78) reported

    @bgarlinghouse i don't know why xrp holders believe in you. if you were capable manager, yahoo and AOL kept you and didn't fall down.

  • NFTGMILLC Merchaverse (@NFTGMILLC) reported

    @timepieces Why would you make time cat holders register. You could have done a snapshot. Time has been bungling their nft execution since the beginning. I expect more from AOL, then again maybe not. Just FUD, I missed registration with my stupid time cat.

  • maiphoang Mai P. Hoang (@maiphoang) reported

    never forget seeing the result of a certain 1998 women's result spoiled by the AOL homepage. trauma

  • CazCubed CazRebornCubed (@CazCubed) reported

    @inursha @BomsteinRick I'm still smarting from when I took my client money out of Apple in the 90's and moved it to AOL for "safety"- "All they make is colored computers, never gonna last.."
