  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • _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.

  • 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

    @samueljforrest When I brought down AOL IM because of a failed auth mod.

  • CoolFernie Fernie (@CoolFernie) reported

    @PattyCakes_713 Holy ****..I was about to tell u about What You Are in AOL session 😳

  • EveVawter Eve (@EveVawter) reported

    @DickTugging Sorry but this fake internet drama is beyond absurdly ridiculous. This **** is starting to feel like a goddamn AOL chatroom. I don’t care who is involved- no one is famous, no one is that important, no one is solving world peace. STFU buy and hold 🙄

  • DJamesFisher23 🦉🚀Dusty-J-🚀🦉 (@DJamesFisher23) reported

    @MaddKingMaddox Never did that but I was all over those AOL Chat rooms when I was 14 before there was AIM LOL

  • Galdrafodr Jeff Ehrmann (@Galdrafodr) reported

    @VerizonSupport I figured out the issue myself. It has to do with oAuth2 support, but AOL failed to inform their users of this change. I never got a notification and it's not in their "troubleshooting steps." All they had to do was point me in the right direction, but they couldn't even do that.

  • SternLevine Judi Stern Levine @DOBBSGIRL1 (@SternLevine) reported

    @electroboyusa I love my AOL. My kids make fun of me. But I don't give a ****. I turn it on when we're on the phone just to piss them off when they hear "you've got mail."

  • adman84 ashcrypto (@adman84) reported

    @jaybny Anti pattern to what bitcoin? Bitcoin is the anti pattern now in 2021. It was a proof of concept to teach and now it’s out dated like aol was to broadband. Just not doing anything new and was cool in it’s day, but sort of worn out now. Needs to have a slow painful death.

  • SznBraves Braves szn (@SznBraves) reported

    @JackRhysider what's the odds you track down some of the programmers of punters and progz (firetoolz, icetoolz ect) during the AOL days and asking about how they found ways to crash AOL and force people off?
