  @AverageJohnEVR @Lightningmaxi Believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve emailed & contacted them a handful of times. It was originally a lost password. Once I found the password, the account was then flagged due to inactivity, and a new IP Login attempt. The only recovery method they provided to me was resetting the password through email or phone number. The issue however, is I used a Skype phone number (dead service) and an @aol email address I no longer have due to inactivity.

  We have been doing things on the internet since back when the internet first became a thing. We operated telnet systems for several years out of our Spare bedroom. Long before AOL even. It takes a special type of fool to think someone in Africa is going to help us grow.

  @N_and_ni We used books and went to college for computer science. You had to figure it out and there were no forums yet like stack overflow to tell you if your code was wrong. You’d text a guy you knew for answers on a 3 inch flip phone screen and you’d get on AOL voice chat or call them to figure it out. Hence why I became an engineer instead of a full time developer. It was really hard and most people I knew failed out of comp sci and became engineers. It used to be the hardest degree you could pick outside of advanced mathematics. I took years coding classes. HTML and CSS, C++, python and at the end of it you’d barely be able to code a calculator, card game or website and they looked like ****. I was the best web developer in my class and I still had a website that looked like I threw up on the screen because that’s all that the code would allow you to do. Lots of windows lots of boxes lots of squares in general. Everything was square and grids were big. Bright colors and ****** animations. But there were no rules. You could quite literally create anything you wanted and there was nobody to tell you no. I mean there were a dozen websites you could watch the Iraq war and people getting blown up. Crazy **** that doesn’t exist now or only on the dark web. They live streamed people dying and you’d go to school and there’d be some crazy *** video your buddies would show you that would scar you for years. We saw guys go record wars, dudes ******* all sorts of weird stuff, people hurting themselves and everyone had a crazy video and they never got taken down or suppressed. They were just there on Google if you searched for it. Everyone was creating the next big website similar to the AI craze. We didn’t have online Call of Duty you’d have to LAN party so we would build **** with our friends and you’d code all weekend in between halo and drinking at the dorms all weekend. Code all day then party all night and repeat. I was the infrastructure guy and I could build the hosting platform and my buddies would help me code while I did the network and servers. You’d actually have to hand out business cards in public once a business website launched because SEO wasn’t a thing yet. So you had to sell people in person. It was awesome. I wish we could go back.

  i stole the AIM passwords of everyone in my highschool and published them on my website (600 accounts) when i was in 9th grade, the school put me in a computer class with seniors cause they didn't know what to do with me. i ended up hired by the school to help with IT i was super immature despite my technical skills and i didn't have anyone around me to recognize / steer me in the right direction. adults often get confused by a kid with high intelligence and assume everything else about the kid must be on their level. well, it isn't i wrote a program and installed it as admin on every pc to extract passwords from aol instant messenger. after a couple weeks i had everyone's password i then published them all on my personal website and called them all dumbasses in the process. zero couth. total cringe. the site went "viral" in the school district and i was fired the next day when i realized the stupidity of what i had done, i was extremely embarrassed. in fact, I'm embarrassed thinking about it now, even 23+ years later. despite that, it was a major learning experience that shaped how i handle the responsibility of personal information thereafter
