| AOL is a joke. When u use AOL EVERYTHIng goes through their servers. i.e. VERY SLOW connection. even with cable...when u use AOl and go to any other site it goes to their servers then to the server that hosts the site u are goin to. it has all the features u can get for FREE without AOL. Email u can get(hotmail.com, yahoo.com), the chat (mIRC.com, MSN chat, Yahoo chat), Games (yahoo.com/games), latest news (any browser has this), and you can even get AIM free without haveing AOL installed. still being able to chat with your friends all while saving 15-20$ a month. AOL is not the internet, you dont have access to all sites and its slow. |

THANKS! That's what I was trying to say earlier with the games part... I tell people this but, they won't listen. ESPECIALLY about the AIM part: They use this ALL day and they STILL don't know that you don't need to pay for it! |

I love AOL Canada. Which is what I have.
I don't get booted off ever. I get a popup maybe once avery few days. and I don't even pay for it, My parents do. I think that's pretty good considering that I am on the net for at least 3-6 hours a day. |

well they're pretty stupid, maybe someone could suggest it to them -
to AOL - "Users could send your AOL CDs back in the mail when they are finished being ripped off by your crap offers, and you can rewrite over them with a new ty deal, and send them back out.."
An old friend of mine had some cool trick you could do with a CD - it was something like floating the AOL CD on a shallow bowl of water in a microwave and heating it for 30 seconds or something. When you pull it out all the plastic film on the data side of the disk has cracked to make this WICKED looking pattern, and it is relatively permenant. I saw a "We did this one earlier" example, and it looked awesome, but it may bugger your microwave :rolleyes:
I cant remember the exact procedure. It definately involved an AOL CD and a microwave. Maybe drop the water part. |

hmm. so you are saying if your parents pay for it you do not? You seem to have a weird attitude towards your parents. Don't you want to be nice to them and prevent them from making stupid mistakes like they did when you were small? I mean, they told you not to stick your fingers into the electrical outlet and that's why you did not and therefore you are still alive. Since you have read this thread, you are now aware that
AOL sucks - anywhere
so you should talk to your parents, who love you and whom you love too, and make them spend their hard earned cash, 'cause i am sure that your parents are working hard, on a good ISP that will not rip them off as much as AOL does. |

yeah, I tried it out on my uncles comp back in the day when he let me borrow it for a bit while he was out of town, I racked up over 300 bucks in fees during one month of use, hehe, when you're young aol is the greatest, nothing but dumb bitches to talk to, porn to receive , and cyber sex to try. my uncles a rich bastard so I couldn't have given a , but I would never personally subscribe to AOL ,ever, unless it was the only option available to connect to the internet, even then I'd have to think long and hard. i'd pay double what I'm payin now for cable. cable owns.
