  @hzrnvm I am actually aware of this because there's a shocking amount of British pensioners who still have AOL email addresses and occasionally I need to help them set them up at work

  @ThrillaRilla369 I remember the AOL chatrooms, you couldn't call someone a moron online, they'd cancel your account for 6 months over it and say it's a family community

  @AndrewGupta @marklevinshow you noticed that too? I couldn't believe it the other day when he said he was having problems with his email and he revealed that it was AOL. He's also constantly complaining about pop-up ads. I mean seriously who even sees those anymore when they are so easily eliminated?

  @Soaringeagle45 19. I never had an AOL account, but I used to reformat their ubiquitous floppies for my own use. :)

  back in i want to say around 2010, AOL offered @ love .com emails as a valentines day promotion. i ran some script for hundreds of rare usernames on it. aol was unusable for a daily email service so i didn't get much use out of them, but they were nice to look at

  @goingforbrooke but when everyone in the US had aim (bc aol was so popular as an isp), everyone in europe + latam had msn messenger (because hotmail was so popular as free email with free storage, when your isp email had no storage and would change if you changed isps). so also network effects.

  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.

  LISTSERV Was The Place To Be In 1993! Just after dial up BBSs and just before USENET my X-like place where I went “viral” was LISTSERV. I was on over 1000 active lists. I of course was on forums on CompuServe and AOL, but LISTERV was push and not pull. It was magic! I would write there like I posted here today. There was zero spam and the highest IQs in the world just a list email away. In my Eudora archives (the best email client ever made) I have saved the results of all my lists saved. Before my tape find, I was happy I saved the Eudora in zipped PKG files. One LISTSERV I was on had 1000s of subscribers and it is where I learned of so many things months before it was news. In the 1990s I wrote the first known AI (expert system) for email, to produce a morning “Newspaper” digest I would actually have automatically printed out to read at breakfast. The AI would have knowledge of what I wanted and produced the summaries and headlines. It went viral on some of my lists I was on and it used Eudora mailbox files to access the data. Many like minded geeks like me used the software and one made a LISTSERV out of his output as a meta way to use what he called THE ULTIMATE NEWS LISTSERV. Since posting on my tapes yesterday two folks reached out to me to share their archives! I am not sure if there is overlap, but anyone with data like this, please let me know! Folks we have a mother-load here and I know we will find new data perhaps not seen since it bounced though LISTSERV. Your support made this happen. Thank you.
