  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • Derohk Derohk (@Derohk) reported

    @CreepxQueen Not a lady but its a messenger service like aol or msn was back in the day that works better and has way more features.

  • UrbanExtant Chris (@UrbanExtant) reported

    @CandiMathis AT&T has a long history of poor business decisions, oftentimes involving company acquisitions. Think Time Warner, AOL, DirecTV, etc., and these cause them major financial pains. If they’d stop shooting themselves in the feet so to speak, they could afford to protect their assets.

  • CalebEllinger Caleb Ellinger (@CalebEllinger) reported

    @notcapnamerica Chris Evans, Did you mean John Gotti? Please reply to my AOL email. My Hotmail is shut down. Thank you, Caleb

  • letsgetalongas1 LeanFlow (@letsgetalongas1) reported

    @LesHailYes @VP @GOP Operation warp speed with distribution of vaccines just as slow as my old AOL dialup from the 90s.

  • mygoogledot J Anthony (@mygoogledot) reported

    @AOL #horriblecustomerservice Paid subscription in order to get help resetting my password?? It's no wonder AOL has gone down the tubes over the years.

  • Versuhtyle Money Always by the Mouth (@Versuhtyle) reported

    @testudo1111 you did, I was parental controlled on AOL and had to pop in the hand me down VHS from a friends brother on sick days

  • jediriece Dariel Riece (@jediriece) reported

    Watching #PEN15 damn, do y'all remember those AOL chat rooms?!?!?!? I lowkey feel old AF now

  • maillarrym6 Larry Mangum (@maillarrym6) reported

    @AppleSupport APPLE SUPPORT! EVER HEARD OF "GROUNDHOGS DAY or AOL from the 80s/90s? APPLE SUPPORT IS "SAME BS!" "FORGOT YO PASSWORD?" Sign in wit "PASSWORD"; THEN IT TAKES U ALL D WAY BACK 2 YO ACCOUNT & ASK "AGAIN" 4 YO "PASSWORD". Do it 20 times & D SAME **** HAPPENS! WTF!

  • Sk8fanK Sk8fanKathy (@Sk8fanK) reported

    Pissed at AOL. Site continues to block all net searches. Message that comes up "We encountered an error handling the last page action" AOL provides no help in fixing their problem. Fortunately Explorer works fine.

  • lailasroomate Ed (Laila's Roommate) (@lailasroomate) reported

    If we'd put AOL in charge of vaccine distribution, every household in the country would have ten of the damn things by now.
