ZOMG!!!!111 ur liek alll stoopids!!!!!!!11 aol is teh awesum!!!!!11 u are eevihl!!!1

AOL is crap. Just like AOL talkers. Alas, I use AOL because my dad is too lazy to even consider changing ISPs.

Anyways, on to the point. AOL talkers annoy the crap out of me. It's something I thrive to destroy. I don't understand how people can survive reading the stuff. I'm surprised I've only lost a small portion of my sanity.

If you think AOL chatrooms are bad, just take a look at RuneScape. I swear, I'd love to nuke Jagex HQ and then destroy all of the servers.

Do you use the same profile name on it as your AIM screenname? Since Mario Kart DS lacks a chat feature, last I checked... Just wondering.

Somehow, that screams CounterStrike to me, but I have NO clue how. It could also deal with IRC lamers.

I somewhat enjoy the name length limits on AIM, even though they're just a few letters too short for the names I'd want sometimes... And fortunately enough, I'm sheltered enough (by choice, mind you) that I don't have to deal with the idiot crowd. A few abbreviations, but nothing too exaggerated.

Yeah, it's fine to shorten the occasional word, not use periods, etc, but "lol asl? r u hot?" is just... no.

Agreed. At least on AIM it's not:

AOL's not ALL bad. It's just MOSTLY bad.

I had to use AOL for a while. I hated it, but I didn't get a choice in the matter -- however, when I used AOL I still didn't type like an idiot to everybody and anybody. I've only ever said a/s/l as a joke. I might say "k" instead of "okay" or "ok" but come to think of it, if you actually HEAR me say the same thing in real life, it's usually just "k" too

AOL will never disappear because of the company. AOL Time-Warner owns loads of shit everywhere. With new people being introduced to computers and internet everyday, there will always be a n00b market. All of their advertising is marketed towards people who know practically nothing. The one thing I cant think of worse than AOL is getting the AOL broadband thing. If you get that, you still pay the ridiculous 24.95 a month for AOL and its "state of the art up-to-date software," but then you have to actually pay someone else for the actual internet service.

Wait, you got 35.6 kb/s from AOL? I only got 24.4 kb/s right now, whereas PeoplePC right now only gives me 26.4 MAX. I blame this city.

I started browsing the web with AOL. It sucked as after a while it prohibited me to play Starcraft with my friends and it also charged my sister's child account as a full account (therefore making it $40+ a month for AOL). Called and complained and the excuse? "Oh, she set it to be an actual account." Made no sense... as you can't do shit with child filters.

I think AOL speak was made for IMing. Since AIM was the first to successfully make the IM work, it got considered "AOL Speak" or so I think...

Honestly, I think its pure laziness.

I mean, it only takes half a second to type two complete words. COMPLETE.

It's not just AOL users though. I think it's called "AOL talkers" largely because AIM is a major cause of such stupidity.

You'd be surprised how strong the idiot factor is. You give a bunch of people CDs that say "TRY THE INTERNET TODAY", and at least a few of them will fall for it. They're the ones who get easily lured in; they're sheep, but they have money. And that money is what AOL thrives on.

That, and the overprotective parents. The ones who fall for the whole "Making the internet safe for your kids" thing.

Has AOL ever gotten a good comment? I'm suprised its still living today, y'know, with so much better internet services today.

Someone needs to pull the plug on that crap.

Knowing how stupid they are, do they wind up redoing the assignments the same way again? If so, can they repeat AGAIN?

@Darkdata: They get to redo their assignments? Is the teacher male? If so, that explains it.

Speaking of that? Did you hear? AOL was named the worst tech inventions of... this time. I'll find the link...

Edit: Hmm. Apparently it's of all time. link
