Support NeoGAF

[ido]

Where you guys at? Been cruising 4.0 for days. Add me to your buddy lists.

Remember those "hackers" with 3-character lowercased first letter screen names?

Hmmm. Wonder if thats why I made this name subconsciously.

They tried to cancel AOL but it was just too hard. So they gave up and went with it.

That takes me back, AOL used to be a bitch to cancel.

You should've had to experience it on an eMachines computer. That shit was the worst.

My first pc was an eMachine and my first isp was AOL.

 

[Lothar]

Try to go on message boards. See if anyone is still visiting those. They were the best part of AOL.

I'm still having trouble connecting to chat. I can log in just fine and even the mail part works, but for some reason when I try to open up chat or any website it can't connect.

 

[Rapstah]

I should make a Comic Chat plugin for NeoGaf.

Ugh. 9gag. They're just as bad as eBaumsWorld.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Hmm. I want to download it and try it so bad. Dat nostalgia trip.

Yeah I didn't post that.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

This is like when I used to download The Palace every few years and there were still people using it. Man, that thing used to kick ass.

That's weird. I know the browser doesn't work at all, but chats seem to work fine for me.

When you log in, go to People up top, and click "Find a chat" ... it will probably hang up for a minute or so, but then it should load up. Then go to user created rooms for the ultimate enjoyment.

 

[X-Frame]

Are there RPG or SiMMing chat rooms still?

When I was 12-13 I spent way too much time doing that. DBZ, Gundam, Star Wars -- even Zoids!

Remember the fancy-schmancy people who had two phone lines — one just for internet use? I only knew a couple of them, but man, was I jealous.

9gag steals everything from everyone. They're the reddit of picture gag sites.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The internet don't work on it for me. I think its on lan but when i try to put ip it wont let me. did that happen to anyone else?

We had four. House phone, Internet, and two separate lines for my fathers office.

Cybering on Yahoo chat as a horny kid sure did pass the time.

We had a second line for our Fax machine.

Every time someone sent us a fax we'd get disconnected. It sucked.

Fax machine.

Dad still uses fax for work. Of course the printer is much more modern these days, but yeah. Fax. It's so weird that faxes are things we still use in this day and age.

faxes are used for a lot of things. also, e-fax is becoming a bigger standard. its kind of easier to just plug in a phone number and scan it than to scan it, attach it, and type in an email, and then send it, wait for the upload, make sure you typed everything in correctly, etc etc

phone number is kind of straightforward and all you do is throw the paper in and its on its merry way.


a lot of government documents are obtained via fax, i believe.



we had a second phone line for our internet. no way we'd be able to use a phone and be online (we were online all the time).

 

[Ricerocket]

Shit, AOL was terrible for playing online in anything like Quake on TEN or M something or just plain using Gamespy. Pings were off the chart from the usual 200-300ms that other ISPs got me like Earthlink or even Netzero.

 

[BouncyFrag]

GET THE FUCK OFF THE PHONE!!

I'd forgotten about this. LOL! That dial-up static was hella loud and violent.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Omg, this is incredible. Freaking AOL o man the memories are coming back.

 

[Sioen]

GET THE FUCK OFF THE PHONE!!

Lol dat history.

 

[Hasney]

My mum not only look uses the chat rooms still, she has a quiz not and hosts quizzes on there. Guess that's worth £9.99 a month or whatever it is.
