why the gently caress do you even have a modem or a land line phone in 2011? that better be (a) built into your labtop and (b) some sort of skype/vonage witchcraft

run your modem over skype which is running over a tethered cell data connection

god drat there's a link there to the kmart free isp i remember using that

what the gently caress was with nbc and kmart and all these companies creating free isps what the hell convinced them it was a good idea

were you not around during the late 90s? everyone believed that you could make money by giving away free stuff as long as it was on, or somehow related to, the internet. because the internet was new and things worked differently there, duh.

I remember getting threatened with TOS

people used TOS as a verb

"Im gonna TOS you"

"You're gonna get TOSed"

*forwards your posts to TOSEmail7*


(because the mailboxes for TOSEmails 1-6 were full and AOL can't loving figure out how to give their own admins quota-less e-mail accounts)

idk you must've sucked at aol i loved it for the idiots

when all advantage was around i wrote my own custom aol proggy that joined every aol chat room and spammed it with a referral link saying how i made thousands and they could too by signing up and downloading my custom all advantage tool that let any app work for their banner and had an anti-idler mouse thinger and actually ended up getting ~2k/month until all advantage was like YOU ARE UNDER 18. DENIED.


never got a ToS :smug:

i ran an anti-idler and the first time i ran it, after exactly 24 hours an AOL rep called up and asked to talk to my dad. i lied and said he wasn't home, hung up, set the thing to disconnect after like 10 or 12 hours in the future, and hoped they wouldn't call back. they never did.
