  @J0hnnyXm4s I think the problem here people are too use o 40 or less characters. It is also difficult for many to type what they want for fear of that digital trail. We have also come to the point were us old school bbs and aol chat room people are becoming less and less. I often have to

  @TheNotoriousLEX My memories of that race is mostly being in AOL chat rooms with people screaming at each other about steroids and Chip Caray with the worst HR call in history when McGwire broke the record. I don't want a documentary to color my experience.

  My 86 year-old father called me at 2 AM because he accidentally joined a Discord server and thought he was being "recruited by the internet." I answered the phone half asleep. "They're in the computer," he said. "Who's in the computer?" "The voices. There are young people. They're talking. I think I've been hacked." I sat up. "Dad, what are you talking about?" "I clicked something and now there's a room full of people and they keep saying my name." My blood pressure spiked. I thought maybe he'd stumbled into some kind of scam call center or ransomware situation. "Don't click anything else," I said. "I'm coming over." I drove twenty minutes to his house at 2:30 in the morning. When I walked in, he was sitting at his computer, headphones around his neck, looking absolutely terrified. "They know I'm here," he whispered. I looked at the screen. He had somehow joined a Discord server called "Chill Vibes Gaming." There were about forty people in a voice channel. And in the chat, someone had typed: "Yo who is CrazyDave1938 and why is he breathing so loud?" CrazyDave1938 was my father. "Dad, how did you even get here?" "I was trying to download solitaire." "THIS ISN'T SOLITAIRE." "I KNOW THAT NOW." Apparently, he clicked an ad, which led to a download, which installed Discord, which auto-connected him to some random public server. And he'd been sitting in a voice chat for forty-five minutes, not speaking, just listening. The people in the chat were confused but remarkably patient. One of them typed: "CrazyDave, are you okay? Blink twice if you need help." My father had no camera on, so blinking was not an option. I leaned over and typed: "Sorry, this is his son. He's 86 and very confused. He thought this was solitaire." The chat exploded. "LMAOOO." "Protect CrazyDave at all costs." "Dave you're a legend." Someone changed his server nickname to "Grandpa Dave." My father looked at me, bewildered. "Are they laughing at me?" "They love you." He squinted at the screen. "What is this place?" "It's like a chat room." "Like AOL?" "Sure, Dad. Like AOL." He thought about it for a second. "Can I stay?" I stared at him. "You want to stay in the gaming Discord?" "They seem nice. That one called me a legend." I didn't know what to say. I helped him figure out how to mute himself, showed him how to leave and rejoin, and drove home. That was three months ago. He's still in the server. He logs in every night around 8 PM and just listens. Occasionally he types things like "Good game everyone" even though he's never played anything. Last week someone made him a moderator as a joke. He took it very seriously. He now removes "inappropriate language" and once banned someone for "being rude to a young lady." The server has doubled in size. Half the new members joined specifically because they heard about Grandpa Dave. My father has become a Discord celebrity at 86 years old. He still doesn't know what Discord is. He calls it "the solitaire room." I've stopped correcting him.

  @bayesiandroll Wow – that's early! I'm sure there was probably at least one BBS local to me, but I never knew of any until AOL and CompuServe were enough of a thing.

  This is exactly the kind of infrastructure-level integration that proves we’re past the build phase 👀 Ripple successfully tested as a blockchain enhancer for the SWIFT network (Hyperledger + ISO 20022) back in June 2025, and now it’s moving toward actual integration. Remember when the internet went from heavy build-out to mass adoption in 1998? I was an AOL shareholder and worked at UUNET selling the pipes. The parallels with XRP and the Internet of Value today are identical — regulatory clarity + real infrastructure hooks = adoption phase. We’re entering the Green Zone. 🍻

  @SADDAY_EVERYDAY WCW would still be here today if AOL/Time Warner cared about pro wrestling at LEAST enough to sell it to Bischoff. Guaranteed money wouldn't have done ****. They wouldn't have gone broke trying to pay Hulk Hogan. It's stupid to think otherwise.

  I like that you can ask AI for video game cheat codes and if a guy ever gets ***** or not. It makes me feel like a child on AOL again. Looking up gamefaqs while saying SlipknotFan42 has never kissed a girl French style

  @brianstelter They say this is to compete against Netflix and more, yet in reality each study is a supplier to streaming services despite each having their own production capabilities. Sadly, Warner is the partner of bad mergers: AOL, AT&T, Discovery and now Skydance.

  @brivael I worked at Time Warner for 24 years, and lost hundreds of thousands of my 401k in the infamous AOL merger that killed off the greatest media company in the world—the worst merger in corporate history. I mostly blame Steve Case and his other AOL cronies, who dumped all their stock right at the merger, while all the TW Execs and employees kept their stock and lost billions. I remember McKinsey’s empty suits seemed to be everywhere at Time Warner in its dying years, and it always seemed like McKinsey helped orchestrate its collapse.

  @MarinaMedvin All this is aol Ed by simply leaving nato and let the eurozone deal with their own problems. I hear France can sortie a flotilla with carrier at least for a few weeks. And the UK only needs a couple of months to get one destroyer ready for sea. win win. Imagine all the lolz
