we reverse engineered aol 3.0

"omg off topic"

don't care check join date

check it out though fellas - a canadian dude named "zip" reverse engineered aolserver with the help of an old hacker named godsmisfit's research: https://web.archive.org/web/20201030...olprotocol.txt - and from there he was able to emulate aolserver to the point of accepting new sign ons, the welcome form, chats, buddy lists and instant messages

so i sent that motherfucker semi-viral on reddit and hackernews yesterday and landed 30k unique views to https://g.livejournal.com/10829.html which is really just a funnel into our discord server

have some screen shots





then i shit you not - someone fucking reverse engineered our reverse engineer and made an aol 3.0 client in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS



our discord is .gg/reaol if you want to find us

anyway,

how do you guys recommend i promote this moving forward?

obviously lightning won't strike twice on hackernews and the big subreddits
