  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • 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

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • coolpowers coolpowers@mastodon.social (@coolpowers) reported

    @iznaut When I first moved to the US we lived in rural Iowa and used a local ISP (there wasn’t a local AOL number). Local ISPs meant a limited number of lines - once school got out you’d get a busy signal when trying to connect if you weren’t fast enough.

  • iznaut izzy "queenslayer" kestrel (@iznaut) reported

    did dial-up ever have downtime? like obv you had to explicitly connect to it so it was never "always up" but i don't remember trying to get on AOL and having a message like "sorry try again later"

  • SchwartzyMMHMM Schwartzy 🍄🌳 🌬️ ❄️ 🌈 💕 (@SchwartzyMMHMM) reported

    @Uber_Support And here lies the problem.... For all me people and community out there. This is how Uber does business. They can't track a trip that went through on my app. They have A BILLION DOLLARS and the technology of AOL Instant Messenger.... AROUND 9PM... NAME ON ACCT IS TRINA...

  • mobiquotes MobiQuotes (@mobiquotes) reported

    Our independence from AOL was so important to me that I negotiated an extremely odd provision in our purchase agreement that allowed me to disclose confidential information about AOL. It was their job never to give me that information. It was not my job to protect it in any way.

  • Daniel_Morrison D M (@Daniel_Morrison) reported

    @ATVIAssist I am having an issue where I can’t confirm my email since it’s an old Aol email and I can’t change my email on my account since my email is not confirmed

  • BknPonies BrokenPonies (@BknPonies) reported

    The ARPAnet became the Internet. Previous online systems like AOL were hierarchal. The Internet has no top node -- it is a network, not a hierarchy. Some early users refused to believe no one was in charge. These are the same people now trying to strip rights from others.

  • guns_corey Corey Guns (@guns_corey) reported

    @RossZ88 Jesus “**** u,pay me” the sentiment in AW,Arena going for a champ,questing,deals,gifting,AOL,Crystals,rank up resources,Things that are supposed to be a celebration for summoners(summer time thing) shits endless..Something deemed as “competitive” money shouldn’t be a factor.

  • MarkDTobin1 MarkDTobin (@MarkDTobin1) reported

    @SamWitwer Even back in 1989, we never had to show our names. We could come up with usernames on Prodigy or AOL, I don't know about Genie.

  • GasliterInChief Let the MAGAs Tantrum (@GasliterInChief) reported

    @NoMoreWalkIns And don’t get me started on AOL and Comcast, which require some special secret code to work with the Mail app, which means customer has to sign into their account, which means they have to know their password, which means…problems.
