  • 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.

  • 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?

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

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

  • 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)

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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

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

    @cclareMDMPH Two. I never had an AOL address.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

AOL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GooberPyle5 Goober Pyle (@GooberPyle5) reported

    @jason_kint We’ll see. The AOL/TW history, and the recent EU action support the view that Twitter, etc. are anticompetitive oligopolies which are inconsistent with a functioning democracy.

  • Lorraine_Ruth Rainie Rosenberg (@Lorraine_Ruth) reported from Denville, New Jersey

    @AOL How dare you try to charge me money to try and fix my password when your online system is not letting me. Your phone line is garbage

  • tangomega Tango Jordan (@tangomega) reported

    @Dart_Adams I used to work for AOL Tech Support, during the Windows 95 era. We used to have to WRITE CUSTOM MODEM STRINGS for error correction and data compression sometimes, especially for USR 28.8 modems. Hardest job I've ever had.

  • teenie_lars STDiva (@teenie_lars) reported

    @Thereal_jodyjoe @WFPB_Is_Best @goldengateblond Came here to say this exact year. Everyone got aol in 1995 (not me, I was poor, but I remember it happening at all my friends' houses at once).

  • onebigorangecom Dollar Store Thor (@onebigorangecom) reported

    @stevemoth Because Netflix doesn't work on AOL dialup lol

  • SerpicoDet frank serpico (@SerpicoDet) reported

    @DharmaForSale 🙏 the mobile number I used to open the account with was closed. But even on new account I gave them an aol backup but they never asked.

  • eggy_egregore tapir worf (@eggy_egregore) reported

    @logic_denier that was normal september, when freshmen logged on for the first time and needed to be taught netiquette eternal september was when AOL added newsgroup support, swamping communities with unmanageable endless waves of newbies and destroyed their norms

  • HenryGilbreath Henry gilbreath (@HenryGilbreath) reported

    @WCTV ONCE AGAIN WCTV CH.6 IS FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB....4OCLOCK AND THE 4PM BROADCAST NOT ON THE AIR....SEVERE WEATHER AND DINDONG McCall IS AOL...THANK GOODNESS FOR CASS AND CH 27

  • Smithqwerty3 Smithqwerty (@Smithqwerty3) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Issue NOT resolved, email still not sending or receiving in Somerset

  • nemalki Jeff Harris (@nemalki) reported

    For those keeping score, AT&T, for all its faults, is the SECOND-worst owner of Warner. AOL remains the worst. The whole company nearly collapsed because of them, and so much of it was spun off in its wake.
