Aol shutting me down

What the hell is Steve Cases problem, the last week or so, It seems I’m not on line for ten minutes before I get the “wanna stay on” window. I’ve been shut down twice already tonight, once just as I was ready to post a reply I had been working on forever (Ok, maybe 15 minutes). I can understand the need to clear out people who have fallen asleep at the board, but this is obsurd. What is the point of paying for “unlimited use” when they limit me.

Any Aol programmers out there? Whats up?

I doubt you’ll get much sympathy here. Hopefully you will be granted leniency because of your newbiness. Here are the relevant threads on this topic, and they are all, not surprisingly, in The Pit:

Straight Dope chat on AOL

AOL sucks…why not get an ISP?

AOL: “Have a great day!”

AOL Techs SUCK! Theysucktheysucktheysuck…


The Sony model STRA-V1010 is a good stereotype.

There are tons of programs out there to help you with the bullshit that IS AOL. Personally I think you should disconnect service from them immedeately since they charge too much and have bad service. But if you insist here is a page with a couple hundred links and programs and there are several that will fix your problem

This just reminded me of my little sister’s AOL deal. She has a deal for 3 hours a month for something like $4.95, which works fine for her. If you go over the 3 hours they start billing you at the no vaseline rate. She never gets kicked off.

I’m afraid to ask, but what is the “no vaseline rate”?


“I know that life is unfair, I just wish it were unfair in my favor”

Calvin & Hobbes

get the free one with the advertisement then use a hack to remove the advertisement

That’s when they ram it up your ass dry.

Heh heh. The “no vaseline rate.”

Off to the Pit.

OMG, Walley, I need to remember that one.

I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it.

For about 9 days now, I have gotten absolutely no mail. None. I talked to tenants about 4 days after I stopped getting mail, and they weren’t getting mail either. I put two and two together, and started making some phone calls.

First, I called the post office, to see if they were holding my mail there. They didn’t answer that question. Instead, they told me to call the carrier between 7-9 in the morning. Problem is, he’s there closer to 7 than 9, and I can never manage to get a hold of him before he leaves.

Troll alert.

This imposter but munch is reviving old threads, again.

Yawn… pass the bean dip.

Go home already.:wally

I would say that I normally use your mom’s panties, instead. Except for:

  1. She probably killed herself once she realized what pathetic, mentally retarded fuckwit she had spawned.

  2. If she didn’t off herself, she likely doesn’t wear any. It’d make it harder for sores to scab up.

  3. All this assuming your weren’t hatched, like most other maggots.

BigJoe, be advised that the Tymp you are addressing is an imposter as well. (Check the post count and registration date).

Nen,

Yeah - I was aware & really shouldn’t feed the little bastard. But it does allow for an exercise in creative flaming. :wink:
