  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • NostraSkepticMe NostraScience (@NostraSkepticMe) reported

    @SarahKSilverman Lucky. From my parents, I only got forwarded AOL email jokes imbedded within other emails that were at times embedded ten levels down from other elderly people which I didn't even know.

  • milkeggsbread Art, from Online (@milkeggsbread) reported

    How is the internet like drugs? I never got into AOL but I did do AIM for a few months just to talk to a girl.

  • therealcie 🦕Sly Fawkesasaurus GC Dino Corpse XX🦖 (@therealcie) reported

    My son was only four years old when this aggressive male got hold of my unlisted phone number, all from an AOL chat where I didn't even use my full name. Fortunately, he never made good on his threats to harm me. Unfortunately, he probably found someone else to harass.

  • BrianTalksCrap Brrriiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaan (@BrianTalksCrap) reported

    @TrevorDame Saying Tony Khan killed ROH is from the same book that credits Vince McMahon for killing WCW, or Vince Russo being the reason. There was a whole lot of underlying **** at play (in ROH's case, ****** investments; in WCW's, terrible spending habits/AOL-Time Warner merger)

  • 2PGlyrics two-player game bot (@2PGlyrics) reported

    sign on to aol and think of funny things to say she'll always lol, never pretends like she's away

  • jet7111 Jet7111 (@jet7111) reported

    @WrestlingInc WCW ended because of AOL/Time Warner. Period end of discussion. They didn't want it. It wasn't about bad business. Were they doing great no but the higher ups sabotaged the company to get rid of it basically

  • aegxir Eggy 娃岐凪南 (。•ˇ‸ˇ•。) P4P open! Info in📌 (@aegxir) reported

    lrt// So we get scenes with Chu Fei (?) and LYX splendidly looking beautiful, bullied and with hair down?!?!?! I think this one scene will break HYX just how I malfunctioned and watched AOL just for that ONE SCENE?! 🥵🥵🥵🥵

  • BillDickTracy Fact Checker AKA Swamp Drainer (@BillDickTracy) reported

    When I graduated hikeschool in 1997 the internet was just becoming huge with AOL etc. I honestly believe the internet and specifically social media has caused and enabled a lot of the destruction of our country. Before then you didn’t have half the crazy problems we see now! 🤔

  • OceanAirAz Mike (@OceanAirAz) reported

    We are paperless so we get the emails of all of our customers (I know, ironic for a guy with over 15K unread emails.) Just got off the phone with a customer who had an aol dot com email. I didn't know they still existed. What's next? Compuserve? Earthlink?

  • kristintothemax Kristin (@kristintothemax) reported

    @Jaybefaunt That God awful AOL noise that screeched as you connected
