  • 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.

  • LessThanLiz Less Than Liz (@LessThanLiz) reported from Ashburn Village, Virginia

    @jrhuddles @verge Every time a boomer asks if I want my online history held against me, they are likely talking about stupid things I probably said, but I think back to my Geocities FF7 fansite (lots of copyright infringement, I'm sure) and being accused of god-moding in an AOL Marvel Sim chat.

  • 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.

  • TheCoachSavage Martino DeSalvaje🔥 (@TheCoachSavage) reported from Ashburn Village, Virginia

    This time in the house gives me CLARITY... idk how people are upset.. Yes I get out, then I lock down... and process.. People got “dial up” processors or something, ol AOL brains... Help yourself & your next move at this time

  • 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

  • Cr8DigitalAsset Christina Haftman (@Cr8DigitalAsset) reported from Fair Oaks, Virginia

    @robertoblake I went to college pre internet. We had large computers with floppy disks, DOS command prompt, loud, vibrating dot matrix printers and slow screechy modems. This was before Windows and IE. Before email. Before AOL. Before NETZERO. Before Yahoo Messenger.

  • because_other Just Because No Other Reason (@because_other) reported

    @RubinReport I'll take the AOL. It has some uses at least... ie Great mirror to signal to boats. As for AOC, can you just imagine after one day of BSing you'll be swimming into shark infested waters to get away from the droning sound of her voice.

  • KPinArkansas KP (@KPinArkansas) reported

    @RubinReport At least you could signal a plane with AOL

  • UnmagicalMe Nate (@UnmagicalMe) reported

    @camannwordsmith AOC is pretty damn smart, pretty cute, and has some fly dance moves, AOL is as defunct as the GOP, easiest decision I'll never have to make.

  • HogGord Gord Hog (@HogGord) reported

    @RubinReport If I was stranded on an island with both the AOL CD and AOC and there was no hope of rescue...I would break the AOL CD and use the shards of broken CD to slit my wrists. In the end the AOL CD is still more useful than AOC.

  • The_Cat_Attack 🐅TheCatAttack🎼🇨🇦🇺🇸💆🏻‍♂️ (@The_Cat_Attack) reported

    @RubinReport AOL...I can use the reflective surface to signal any passer-bys.

  • praisegilgamesh James (@praisegilgamesh) reported

    @RationalDis Imagine making that joke and then going through the trouble of finding a picture of both AOC and an aol cd. Too much effort for a joke comes off as pathetic

  • cin_bees Cin_bee (@cin_bees) reported

    @realRyanHolman @RationalDis Plus... Do you get just like the aol cd? Or aol service? Bc if you get access to the internet, even 90s internet (somehow on stranded island), you can probably get unstranded

  • jayci68 John Curry (@jayci68) reported

    @RubinReport AOL... with no land-line phone service, no computer or electricity, just the CD that came in the mail.

  • maikan5 ((( FRANK DUMAS ))) 🏴 (@maikan5) reported

    @RubinReport Most comments here focus on AOC physical attributes but none seem to remember how horrendous AOL was. On a deserted island I'd rather have AOC trying to mimic the sound of the handshake of a 28k bauds modem in a coconut phone than trying to get this stupid CD to work

  • JeffHocutt Jeff Wears A Mask (@JeffHocutt) reported

    @AndyRichter I was 13 and made my first email address andyricktr@aol cuz I was a fan of yours...now, 27 years later, when people ask my email and I know it's spam, I still give my aol email address because I don't want it, it's for you. "You've got mail, but it's probably crap."
