Blew my mind that 160k people still used it. Must be in Arkansas, Mississippi or WV. That soup can and string be workin overtime

This has to be a joke. Are you telling me my 500 hours of AOL was still good until now? Those bastards got rid of my aol email, and i lost a 2005 sherdog account because of it.

AOL still exists? Dial up still exists? What happens to those poor souls with AOL dial up?

They become Amish. That's how they reproduce.

Man, RIP to any Detroit Sherbros

Bro I had a cable modem and was grinding in the dreadlands with a fuckin folded velium war Lance and a fbss that I got from money I got teleporting assholes from fn Taiwan around in a pick up group listening to catch 22 and dreaming about being level 60 and having a cloak of flames and a narindis Lance way back in the day.

Even yahoo email will wipe your account and unread emails if you don't login for a certain period of time.

It would've been interesting to know how many people still used it. My guess would be like one old person still has an active account set on auto-pay but they never use it.

On tv this morning they said there's still about 140k people on AOL dial-up.

I'm still rocking my AOL email; use it every day.

Does it still have that voice announcement, “you’ve got mail”?

We played EQ on dial-up. rip

As of 2023 there was around 150k homes that still used dial up.

Not when I log in

Get yourself some strong adhesive, then cut them into various shapes and use them for mosaics. Maybe pimp out your ride by completely covering the exterior painted surfaces with 'em.

I remember when star wars galaxies first came out. I was too poor to afford DSL, so I tried to play on dial up. It worked but the lag was incredible. We're talking about a frame rate between 1 and 5.

I was constantly dying LOL

My dad got a second phone line just so we could play and still get calls
