  Great Friend of the Show Joel Wood (@GiftedMoney) reported 6 minutes ago

  WCW had been losing millions of dollars for years before they closed shop. If AOL/Time Warner wanted WCW on their networks, they’d probably still be around today in some form. People comparing WCW to WWE never cease to make my head hurt. WCW folded because they were the number two and folded under the pressure of going after number 1. They would’ve had a better chance without the merger but they were still fighting the odds. It’s a lot easier for the number two to fold up shop than it ease for number 1 to fall to number 2. Especially when the gap is as wide as it is with WWE and AEW.

  A truly profound memberberries post. Nobody ever used Winamp. It was so niche. Along with ICQ, MSN, AOL dialup and burning CDs with Nero and being annoyed at how often they screwed up. All of those things are so niche they could never possibly be used for engagement farming.

  AOL was once worth more than Nvidia, McDonald's, Apple, Amazon, General Motors, Starbucks, Adobe, Nokia, and Disney - combined! It was the world's #1 Internet Service Provider and mailed a billion free trial CDs. You'd find them tucked into cereal boxes, magazines, and airplane seat pockets. At one point, half of all CDs produced on Earth are AOL discs. Once the biggest merger in history (AOL/Time Warner), now a mere glimpse on the radar...

  To be clear, I would never, EVER, DM anyone. Not on Twitter/X, not on Discord, hell, not even on AOL Instant Messenger. Even replying to people if they message me ties my nerves into knots. But when they do, no matter what the reason or situation, I appreciate it. So thank you.

  @dotkrueger It's all dogshit IMO. It will tumble down and something else will take its place. This is AOL.

  1 - AOL messages didn't save back then (actually they never saved), so we don't have to worry about maggie finding those!

  @LordazureFGC @LOVETHEW0RLD My grandmother use to beat OG zelda and other nes/snes games and just stopped there. My mom went from being an Admin/mod for AOL and playing simcity and other sims to nothing now. It's kinda sad how they all just hit a wall and said nah **** that noise forever lol.

  @BrandonTheHeel the AOL kids used to get bullied so bad back in the day easiest to bluescreen easiest to netbus always getting trolled (hold down Alt and press F4 for free stuff!!) but AIM was way better than MSN and ICQ. Ya got us there...

  Without gaming of some type, most people find their computers useless if their ISP is down. We had a great time on our PC's before the AOL era started.
