I remember AOL worked better you connected via a different ISP. AOLs local dial up nodes were 2400 only.

GOAT.
I remember chat rooms. When I was 8 I went into a heavily moderated chat room and cussed someone out and our service was suspended. My mom made me write an apology letter to AOL.
Good times

AOL CHATROOMS.
Same here. I was just hitting puberty and a whole new world of deviant behavior I didn't know existed synced up perfectly for some crazy interactions.
Fun times.

So much action from that app. It really was a hookup app eventually and it was glorious
Also, an original AOL chatroom user here as well, I'll even go one step further, right before AOL my dad had a service called Prodigy and it was the awesome.
Basically a forum like TD tbh, similar to bbs systems

I spent the first 13 years of my life playing basketball or baseball. I spent the rest of my adolescence trolling people on the internet.
I still can’t fathom people that get upset over something that someone writes on the internet. Seems like they never got the memo.

The old AOL chat rooms were a total younger gen-X hook up scheme. Find a local chat room, see that “Brandy31254” was in the room, and confirm with the good ‘ol a/s/l post!
There are TWO other confirmed posters on this site that I met through said chatroom back in the day.

That's how me and my wife met.

I met my wife on AOL Instant Messenger around December 1999. We started dating in March 2000 and married in June 2003. Coming up on 19 yrs married.

AOL chat rooms! There were three areas. One held a max of 57 and was moderated by a “Host GSTD”, another that held a max of 35, then the ones created by users that held a max of 23. Those were the good, or pathetic, ole days. But I made friends with several that I’m still friends with today.
