    @streamlabs Not maintaining 30FPS resulting my streams looking like I’m on AOL connection. I wasn’t having that issue before.

  • thelastpinkcar Helena (@thelastpinkcar) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Geez @verizon I pay $330/month for 6 devices on a family plan, and I can only use my jetpack for approximately two weeks of normal internet usage, and then you slow me down to pre-AOL dial-up speeds. Just hate this. That's not fair at all.

  • JamesZekis James Zekis (@JamesZekis) reported from Oak Park, Illinois

    @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.

  • TRIhunna #TriHerbal Woman✨ (@TRIhunna) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Please update your app. It’s AOL dial up type slow @ShopifySupport. It literally crashes every 3 commands. Also, it would behoove you to make it an option to be able to print labels/ packing slips in bulk as opposed to which day they’re purchased Printing shouldn’t be a hassle

  • via_southside Golly I’m Gully 🇱🇷 (@via_southside) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    ****, AOL Cuties and Thugs chat days.

  • TOMBZZZ 💀🌙🛸 (@TOMBZZZ) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @cooIcatz In an era of AOL dial up internet at best too so if you weren't scouring for info you had little reason to doubt it. Would never work today they bottled lightning there.

    @RNeedre @AOL I've never found one for sale to be honest.

    I’m just waiting for Nelly’s shit to start making the aol startup sound.

  • greenSLLIME 🤮ghoul🤮 (@greenSLLIME) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    I keep a drawer full of broken aol discs to cut a ***** wit

  • donjensenep Don P. Jensen Jr (@donjensenep) reported from Elmwood Park, Illinois

    @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

  • IamEricT IamEric+ Streaming Service only 4.99/month (@IamEricT) reported from River Forest, Illinois

    @swyx @jaredpalmer First software I ever wrote in Corp America was to make sure a large Telco could create a bill supporting that many digits… the intended customer persona: AOL

  • IvanVega IvanVega.eth ✨ (@IvanVega) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @alcidezx3 had my name as well (IvanVega1) but there were others. We never just had one. Was @DoctaSlick your AOL handle, Nikki? 🤔

  • WahidTazudeen Wahid Tazudeen (@WahidTazudeen) reported from Chicago, Illinois

  • ThinkingSapien ThinkingSapien (@ThinkingSapien) reported

    @kwerner18 "AOL falls squarely within this traditional definition of a publisher and, therefore, is clearly protected by §230's immunity." Zeran v AOL, 1997 Publishers are covered. Neutrality was never a requirement.We don't have to earn the protection of the law. We all get it(14 Amend)

  • DaveId Dave Id (@DaveId) reported

    Their email was rebranded as AOL in the last few months (AOL bought Netscape forever ago, back when Netscape was still a thing). I think the Netscape email address might have originally been tied to ISP service, which AOL damned well knows they haven't used in years.

  • SaverSms Saver SMS (@SaverSms) reported

    @VerizonSupport Anyone else having issue with Verizon email account on Gmail app and have the fix. it won't sign in starting this morning, Note: no issue on web or AOL site or AOL app, just my android phone.

  • Hillarybloze Rob Czecho (@Hillarybloze) reported

    It seems that AOL Customer Support is on twitter to sell stuff! Why am I being told 10 times a day that there was suspicious activity on my account & the Artificial Intelligence at aol has to send me another freakin code on my other aol account???Every freakin day..10 times a day

  • DaveId Dave Id (@DaveId) reported

    How many older folks are getting ripped off like this? And AOL acts like it's sad they canceled the email account, using language that seems geared toward senior citizens: "Aw shucks. Your subscription has been canceled." Aw, shucks?!? **** you.

  • AndrewWoo70 A. Rudolf (@AndrewWoo70) reported

    @aolmail Trouble with an imap server? Can't get any e-mails imported to Outlook since last friday.

  • Hillarybloze Rob Czecho (@Hillarybloze) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp Why am I being told 10 times a day that there was suspicious activity on my account and the aholes at aol have to send me another freakin code on my other aol account???Every freakin day...10 times a day! And why is my first page on aol always in spanish?? WTF!

  • ScotPFV Scot Valentine (@ScotPFV) reported

    Between 1995 to 1999 I got an AOL start up disc in the mail at least once a week without fail. Do not tell me we lack the ability to do this with testing kits. The ability to do so is without question. The will to do so is...sadly questionable.

  • Buckteria Buckteria (@Buckteria) reported

    @jack AOL is **** don't buy internet...

  • dubiousgoods Verad, Uldah's Premier Distributor of the Dubious (@dubiousgoods) reported

    Back when I was playing on AOL, some of my best experiences involved sticking it to players who looked down on outlandish concepts out of spite, and drawing the attention of desired players* because of those concepts. *Everybody wanted erp with them.
