    AOL is TAKING YOU BACK

    Dear AOL Member,

    I want to let you know about some exciting changes happening at AOL. Our service has always been an all-in-one solution for our members, consisting of:

    Connectivity -- a way of connecting to the Internet (through a dial-up or high-speed connection), and Content and Services -- bringing you useful tools and features like email, security and an entertaining online experience once you're connected. Today we are announcing that AOL's software, email, and other compelling AOL features will be free to everyone who has an Internet connection -- including your Address Book, Screen Name, the Buddy List® feature and more. AOL will continue to provide a dial-up connection for you, and we will continue to offer several reliable and affordable options for getting online.

    What Does This Mean for You?
    Nothing about your service arrangement with us will change unless you want it to. Your current plan, which includes Internet connectivity, 24/7 customer support, unlimited email storage, your email addresses and all the AOL content and services you rely on, will still be there for you.

    If you do at some point choose another provider to connect you to the Internet:

    You can keep your AOL Screen Name and email address for as long as you want to use it, completely free; You can continue to use your AOL software, and you can still get all your favorite features and content, completely free; You will still get AOL's comprehensive safety and security tools, protecting you from online hackers, spammers and identity thieves, completely free. All of this is free, no matter who provides your Internet connection.

    Why Is AOL Doing This?
    We're simply changing with the times. There are many options for Internet access, whether it's dial-up or broadband. At the same time, a lot of online content and services are now available on the Web free of charge because they are supported by advertising. So, while your Internet connectivity needs may change over time, what you love about the Web does not. We are now able to ensure that the familiar AOL experience, your Screen Name, your Address Book, your Buddy List, your Favorite Places, and other content and features you enjoy, will always be available to you for free.

    In September, you will be hearing more about changes at AOL. Until then, you can visit AOL Keyword: New AOL for more information and to sign up for informative email alerts.



    Sincerely,

    Jon Miller
    Chairman and CEO
    AOL LLC
    ARGH! :evilking:

    Stay away from it, it's beyond good and evil, it's just a pure abomination to the internet, if it were my choice i'd burn it all in a huge 7 day riot, saving internetkind from annihalation.

    To be serious, I don't like AOL, never considered it, the discs you get free rock, i got so many uses for them.

    I don't know how smart you guys are...but you DO know the features AOL have right?

    Free VIRUS and Spyware program(free)
    AOL Radio(without commercials...well maybe 1 every 15-30 minutes, which only lasts 'bout 10 seconds): with over thousandths of stations INCLUDING such categories as:

    videogames
    Final Fantasy(FF music 24/7)
    Metal
    All MetallicA(MetallicA 24/7)
    All Slayer(Slayer 24/7)
    Black Metal
    Death Metal
    Hair Metal
    Metalcore
    etc.


    *whistles* Hey Arucard! still not interested?

    and many other features I can't remember at the moment.

    Psychotic burninating an AOL CD, like Meat Puppet mentioned, is one of the best things ever.

    Well we really do have alot of Arsonists here on Eoff. AOL sucks, it's protection sucks, it's easy to disable, lots of viruses get past it, it's pretty much slow and who cares about the features, just listen to what music you want using a media player, screw radio.
