Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Merrifield and nearby locations:

  • gatlingxyz Tavon (@gatlingxyz) reported from Huntington, Virginia

    I'd known about #DnD but never played. Not even the geeks/nerds in my school played, as far as I know. And most of my schools have always been predominantly Black, so there was no representation. (I did do a lot of text based RPing on AOL tho)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Helen_Highly HelenHighly (@Helen_Highly) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @Doc_Harding @Nerienis Perhaps their sudden popularity (and unprepared infrastructure) will destroy their success, like it did AOL back in the day with the busy-signal fiasco. 🫤

  • Messe3Christina Christina Sheryl Messenger (@Messe3Christina) reported from Alexandria, Virginia

    @AOLSupportHelp I have been trying to get to deactivate the my account but when I called Customer Support, they’d told me that I would not be able to deactivate it for a year!! 😭😭😭 Please help me!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

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

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

AOL Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Scuzz83 Joshua Jenkins (@Scuzz83) reported

    @abbydarkstar See I never understood this line of thinking. Most of nerds I know are female. My high school Anime Club, I was the only guy. The local comic shop and AOL message boards about X-men, mostly women. The vast majority of the WoW guilds I've been in primarily ladies. Nerds just are.

  • Lagerwhat Lagerwhat? (@Lagerwhat) reported

    @davidbix Ol' Rob doesn't remember RSPW or, hell, AOL's message boards? There used to be call in phone lines were people would listen to other people ***** about ****. Has he not heard of the legendary Cody Boyns?

  • Eamontron Eams (@Eamontron) reported

    @davidschneider She offshored tons of UK Talktalk jobs to India, Malaysia and South Africa. And shut down AOL in Ireland after they trained the UK staff to "help out". Swings and roundabouts I guess.

  • KevR75 Kevin R (@KevR75) reported

    @BecMcGee Back in the AOL chatroom days, there was a bunch of us from a local chatroom that would hang out, clubs, bars, beach and whatever else sounded fun.

  • PatrickPgriffin Patrick Griffin 🇺🇸🇰🇷🇮🇪 (@PatrickPgriffin) reported

    @azeem Dialup but was so long ago do not remember what service but might have been AOL.

  • michaelcrosby87 Michael A Crosby (@michaelcrosby87) reported

    WWE is becoming WCW during the AOL Time Warner Era in 3 ways 1- PPV has become inconsequential to storylines 2- inefficient bloated roster from the main event down to developmental which includes broadcast team 3- there is no clear vision for the product #HIAC #WWE

  • KevNStJoe Kevin Williams (@KevNStJoe) reported

    @egyptianruin Prior to the internet (or dial-in services like AOL), going online meant dialing in to a local person's Bulletin Board System they ran from their computer. I used to be a SYSOP (System Operator) of one of those in the early 80s. Talk about slow, the modems were only 300 baud

  • kibykat Kibykat🎃 (@kibykat) reported

    then why did you even initiate one in the first place? Go back to AOL a/s/l and just **** around. Don't treat your spouse or S/O like an inconvenient roommate you occasionally **** or cuddle.

  • liamlestat sashay away ✌🏽 (@liamlestat) reported

    Is it just me or has the 5G service been acting more like AOL dial up as of late.

  • ghostapple_ari Ariel₇ ❅🧈 (@ghostapple_ari) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Hello, I’m having a hard time accessing my account for the last few days because for some reason my iPad and iPhone no longer recognize my password (and it happened on different days as well) and unable to change my password as well. Can someone help me on this?
