Give me Gmail over AOL any day. Give me ANY e-mail provider over AOL any day.

You'd take Hotmail over AOL?
Hotmail used to be good, until Microsoft stopped caring. Now it's completely unsafe.

Somebody actually hacked in to my hotmail and tried stealing my bank information.
That hacker doesn't own any of that information luckily, but they claimed my hotmail account and it's now being used to send out spam e-mail to everyone on my contact list.

Gmail's the way to go these days.
 
Yeahhh someone got my Hotmail too. Had to abandon it because it gets 50+ spam emails a day and the spam filter is too dumb to catch them.

No, not AIM. They were actual chat rooms built into the client for kids. They had moderators and I made friends and ah good times. My first email was aol!

Oh, I see. I wasn't allowed on the internet until 2007 so I'm just hearing about this now.

And, mmmmmmm, Hotmail. Hotmail is so slow. IT NEVER LOADS FOR ME.
 
My school is even partnered with google, so our email is gmail by default. I like it haha.
 
Nope, e-mail is banned at my school. =\ Everything except Live e-mail but I dislike that e-mail client.
 
At school, this girl went on AOL.com and opened her email (cue "you've got mail") to retrieve a powerpoint she had emailed herself...

What's worse? She was using internet explorer to open it, which was slow, and some guys told her to use Firefox, which did work instantly. xD;
 
You've Got Mail was on Austin Powers last night and we all lol'd, haha.
 
Job interview where?

And did anyone else use the custom voices for AOL? I used Mandy Moore, I remember specifically haha.
 
I remember receiving those AOL trial disks in the mail just about every month.
I never used the discs, but the cases they came in would always be really cool and decorated nice. I would use them to store money or notes away in a safe place.
 
Ooh that's the Sam's Club place right?

Except not Sam's Club

Gross. Internet Explorer. I gave that up in 2008. Ahh, good times.

I switched to Firefox in 2008 and I'm never going to regret it!

INTERNET EXPLORER VS FIREFOX. Firefox wins.

Haha they always had these free AOL disks sitting at my grocery store. I took one every time I went. When I got home, I threw it around like a frisbee. .-.

My (and my brother's) first AOL email account was dognots. Guess what rude people called us whenever we entered a chatroom. O__O

Who didn't get those disks in the 90s? :p

I want to say we used AOL for a short bit. Maybe. It wasn't when I was using the Internet. By the time I did, we were in the US and running cable. Also, it was 2004.

Could be worse. For awhile, I was using... Netscape. IE would've been loads better. :(

I'm the same way, though. Once I got used to Firefox, I haven't switched browsers since. If I did it'd likely be to Chrome, not IE. idk, I just don't like how IE is set up compared to Firefox and Chrome.
 
Netscape. I used to use their dial-up for my internet and I remember how terrible it was. =\ Once it stopped working and I had no internet. But this was all when I was 11.

No way, I so did that too! Me and my cousins would toss them at the ceiling fan. In retrospect that probably wasn't a good idea, but it was fun!


As for AOL chat,
I never participated in the AOL chat rooms, but I remember playing this old chat game called Unichat. So many memories. ;_;
[PokeCommunity.com] Daily Chit Chat - Summer thread coming soon!


There was even a program that let you make your own maps for that game.
The servers shut down looong ago though unfortunately.
 
I like how the text is "do you have a nice body" and "how old are you". Reminds me of The Palace!
 
There's only one thing about e-mails...

ALL THE SPAM. AND ALL THE DATE MAIL SPAM I GET. How in the world do they get my e-mail username in the first place?

I hate SPAM mail so much.
