I miss the old AOL's. Easiest money ever.

I was thinking the same thing
i still have my aol email

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

very true WIN8 is such a miss... still they will make money on that shit

Show me your gif!

AOL made a lot of people rich.

Actually still get members that use it.

hah nice find :)

They made people a lot of money and they made a lot of money going after mailers....

The guy who coined this quote was an alcoholic loser, kinda like you!

Maybe I was naive to the methods but the only way I could figure out how to generate traffic with AOL back then was to put a link to a page in my profile talking about how I was paying for college by modeling, and I would appreciate if they would check out my naughty pics. Generated about a sale per day.

I knew that I could make a ton of money if I was able to figure out how to run multiple instances of the desktop software... or if I had multiple machines or something... but aside from that, I was fairly clueless.

What was the method people were using?

Mailers.

Visit chat after chat, collect emails, mail. Rinse and repeat 1000's of times a day. Sales of $5k/day were easy back then.

I really missed the boat on that one. Hindsight...

I think I will be sticking with Windows 7 for awhile...I might eventually buy Windows 8 but I will have to download one of those programs that brings back the Start menu.

Fucking hilarious! This made my day.

(I'm a simple man.)

oooohhhhh you hurt my feeelings :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Try harder :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

try harder? im just literally stating the truth

if you cant handle it then why dont you complain elsewhere

:1orglaugh

i guess i got to ya the other day lolol carry on let it all out lol

I don't miss having to deal with the sheer stupidity of AOL-based members on our sites. I swear the average IQ of an AOLer was in the 20s.

Their signup CDs made great drink coasters, though. :1orglaugh

I had a subscription to AOL in 1996 for about three months. Could never dial in. Never got my money back... Switched to iDirect in early 1997.

And that's the truth. PFFFT!!!

True but lame...

CompuServe Rocks!!!

ive never talked to you in my life, what the fuck are you talking about you alcoholic loser?

You talking to him in Privateroom Gay4pay on AOL.

:1orglaugh

I had a buddy who used those things for drink coasters as well. Totally forgot about that until your post. Too funny!

I actually installed my first AOL with a 2.5 or 3.5 flopped, whatever the fuck it was. AOL 2.5 <-Best AOL Version of all time...

When I first started selling software, I actually had aol blocked because they were such a huge support burden. I didn't want their money. It wasn't worth it.

I actually made a few scrollers for aol back in the day, for OH, internal, and guide accounts. All cracked of coarse.

One was called Holocaust, the other was called Second Style.

AOL is the reason I got into adult.

Does anyone like Windows 8?

AOL = LOL :2 cents:

Collect peoples email address from chat. Mail to good addresses.

Set it up to be smart 1.0 and keep track of which kind of chat they are into and get demo graphic info like gender, age, etc...

Set it up to be smart 2.0 and get topics they talk about...

Beta = $100 to $200 a day
1.0 = $250 to $800 a day
2.0 = Solid gold bricks shitting out of your ass.

Or infecting computers with hidden porn dialers. Which made $5k/day seem like bitch change.

Thx for that, it made my day. :thumbsup

For the record... Microsoft is goin' down!

AOL was the most exploitable ISP in the history of the world. Also, they had so many crooked employees that would steal screen names and billing info. I saw it all first hand.

those were the days, i remember i used to make money with alladvantage....

shit myself as well :):)

AOL was a pure gold mine for a lot of people for a very long time. But like we've seen in a lot of the internet booms and busts, they eventually tend to run their course. Although there still seems to be plenty who use AOL IM and email accounts for whatever reason.

As they say, the only constant is change. Plan accordingly.
