    @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

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

  • 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

  • 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

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

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

  • _MissValdes The Pillowhouse Princess of Lys (@_MissValdes) reported from Chicago, Illinois

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

  • AdamKoralik Adam Koralik (@AdamKoralik) reported from Chicago, Illinois

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

  • 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.

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

    I don’t know why my internet is running so slow. I have the latest version of Netscape Navigator installed with AOL webcrawler as backup.

  • KingThelonious Thelonious Martin™ (@KingThelonious) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    @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.

  • rfpearson2004 Rodney Pearson (@rfpearson2004) reported

    It's true. AOL made all Blacks synonymous with the N-Word. Here's the question. If it wasn't a big deal why did they CNN help AOL cover it up by drafting and releasing FAKE PRESS RELEASES? I have proof! Don, this is bigger than Watergate. This must FINALLY be exposed. Message me.

  • KoreyTillman_ K-Till | Ṣàngówálé (@KoreyTillman_) reported

    I have trust issues with AOL and Yahoo emails lol

  • MichaelSMorgan6 Michael S. Morgan (@MichaelSMorgan6) reported

    There used to be (e.g., on aol) something called "chat rooms," for specific topics. Everyone was visible, had a profile, and could make any comment anytime, but always visible to others in the room. The whole problem with social media now is private, targeted messaging.

  • danefossee Dane Fossee (@danefossee) reported

    @SBALenderLyons @SBA_Matthias @AOL Never mess with an aol email guy. They’re killers.

  • ClintFiore Clint Fiore 🛩 🦬DM for Biz Deals (@ClintFiore) reported

    @Lawyer4Deals how can I help? I agree aol emails are a green flag and people that are scared of them are just ignorant. haha

  • CyberConsulting Greene Cyber security Solutions (@CyberConsulting) reported

    @cybersecdancer And BTW AOL was never the real internet. its own intra net work and lacked real connections. Compuserver did have full internet convertible email connections.

  • mystic_dragongm Mystic Dragon Games - #TTRPG Creators (@mystic_dragongm) reported

    @nwfoodie @OnesRoll Now I can't get the AOL login sound out of my head...

  • FayVFox FayVFox (@FayVFox) reported

    i keep seeing posts of people talking to random AI chatbots and the bot just...lying or not knowing **** and being like "OMG IT"S HAPPENED" Did everyone forget the AOL chatbot or did I make that **** up like pirate's cove?

  • itsnotwynter0 Wynter❣️جادة (@itsnotwynter0) reported

    @AOLSupportHelp since when has aol users had to pay for support/help??

  • PragmaticAndy Andy Hunt (@PragmaticAndy) reported

    Trying to cancel an Adobe subscription. Getting PTSD from the scammy days of AOL as they try and upsell me, convince me not to quit, add more offers, and generally stink of frantic desperation. Let it go, @Adobe . Just let it go.
