PART 1 ITEMS 1-100 COMMENTS? EMAIL ME AT Half_____Life@hotmail.com 1. AOL signs you off when you are not using it. Even for a short amount of time (like five to ten minutes). 2. AOL is slow. It takes forever to load things. 3. AOL is weak. The first software that another software damages could be AOL. For example, RichWin For windows, Thunder Byte Anti-Viturs for Windows 95, and etc. Watch out! Software could damage your aol at any time. 4. The AOL Browser is slow. It takes forever to load. 5. The AOL Browser cannot integrate with download resumers such as Go!Zilla and GetRight. 6. It is easy to bookmark with Netscape when there are pop up windows, but in AOL the address box changes to the address of the pop up window, which makes it hard to bookmark something in AOL. 7. You can't use the word fuc when creating a new name. 8. You can't use the word shit when creating a new name. 9. You can't use the word War or War2 (for those of yall who like Warcraft or Warcraft 2). THERE IS NOTIHNG WRONG WITH THIS NAME, YOU DAMN AOL TOS. 11. AOL is the "minimum web space that costs money". 10. You only get 2 MB of free web space, which means you only got little to spare. You can upload barely anything with this shit web space. 11. When you sign off of AOL EVERYTHING closes, including Instant message boxes, write mail boxes, and even web browsers. Whoever made this shit software or else no one will want it. 12. AOL browsers are not compatible with a lot of web sites that allows you to upload, such as Spree.com. 13. Some web sites won't even accept an AOL Browser to enter. 14. AOL displays too many ads - no one will pay attention to them, so why put them on there and waste our valuable time by waiting for them to load???????? 15. You'll get logged off of aol for scrolling. I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT??? DOESNT IT MAKE YOU MAD WHEN EVERYTHING IN AOL CLOSES JUST BECAUSE YOU ENTER A COUPLE OF SAME WORDS REAL FAST INTO A CHAT ROOM? 16. Too many people tell on you in AOL. You'll get logged off. NO EXCEPTIONS. And you'll get a junk mail saying that you have violated ya da ya da ya da. 17. Parental controls suck. They block users from interferring with each other. 18. You can't send Instant Messages to people who are under kids only parental control. 19. You can't send attachments or images to people who are under kids only parental control. 20. People who are under kids only can't do anything with AOL, which makes AOL useless. 21. Switching your screen name in AOL sometimes does not work. 22. older versions of AOL are not compatible with Internet Explorer or Netscape. 23. You can't use AOL browsers unless you sign on AOL. 24. You can't use AOL email unless you sign on AOL. 25. AOL is insecure - some web sites view your connection with aol. If they see that you're using aol they they'll automatically find out who you are and send you junk mail. 26. AOL software takes forever to download. 27. Any software from the AOL company sucks and lack some abilities to do some stuff, such as AOLpress, which is a very weak web page creator. 28. You lose your connection with AOL because some things stop loading. 29. When you switch screen names you lose your connection with the internet. 30. When you use AOL too fast, it will display a pop up error saying THIS PROGRAM HAS PERFORMED AN ILLEGAL OPERATION AND WILL BE SHUT DOWN, and then AOL freezes. 31. When AOL freezes you have to close it no matter what. When it freezes other software using the internet as a connection will stop responding. 32. Because AOL messes up your system when it freezes, You have to restart your computer in order to use the internet again. 33. AOL netfind, included with the AOL software, is very broad. You can never find anything you wanted to with AOL netfind. It is VERY NOT precise. 34. AOL.com is SHIT. Don't ask me why I just feel this way. 35. It is so hard to connect with AOL. The line to enter AOL is always busy and always has too many users. 36. Sending Instant Messages are slow. 37. If you put something like DEFEAT AOL or TOS VIOLATION on your profile then they'll cancel your Name immediately without warning. 38. If you do anything harmful on AOL then they will sign you off or cancel your account WITHOUT any warning. 39. The default option is for AOL to unzip your files at sign off. That sux,  because your files might get replaced. 40. The welcome screen does not close, and it gets in your way. 41. You can't find emulators nor ROMs in AOL. 42. If you upload a ROM to your AOL web space then it will get deleted. 43. You can't upload ANY warez at all. 44. You can't download full version software. Just some shit-ass shareware. 45. You can't upload any game scenerios nor maps, such as a Command and Conquer Red alert map, Warcraft 2 Pud, or A Starcraft Scenerio. 46. The spinning thing in AOL makes people confused; you never know when it is loading or not. It gets on their nerves. 47. The AOL server is likely to reset, therefore interrupting downloads and some web pages stop responding. 48. The AOL staff is always behind your ass. 49. You can get booted anytime off of AOL anytime by someone else. 50. AOL does not have the ability to Re-Connect after it has stopped responding. 51. You can't find any MP3's in AOL. 52. Signing off sometimes takes longer than expected, or will not work. Sometimes you'll have to close AOL using the CTRL+ALT+DEL command (End Task Command). 53. The AOL Browser sometimes gives you an error saying EXTEND FAILED. PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER. Where in Netscape and IE there is no such problem. 54. You can't do ANYTHING at all while you attempt to upload something with AOL. Except when you use a powerful punter. 55. Once you Re-Install AOL, EVERYTHING in your favorite places gets deleted. 56. AOL crashes too often. I am very general on this topic. 57. AOL service is slow. On the internet without AOL you can go anywhere you want freely. But on AOL it's like youre at a service desk and the manager gives what you want SLOWLY, sometimes he even refuses what you wanted. 58. AOL has some new stupid ideas on no Spamming and parental controls so kids can't recieve email. 59. AOL sucks because of scam marketing. 60. AOL sucks because of crappy corporate policies. 61. AOL 4.0+ has an ugly looking and dark toolbar. 62. When you try to cuss someone off they'll try to punt you with even more cuss words. Or they might report you to the TOS (Totally Obnoxious Shit) and get you in trouble, blah, blah, blah. 63. AOL does not have a feature that blocks punts. Turning off your IMs doesn't mean blocking punts. 64. The AOL browser does not support any add-ons. You have to go to Internet Explorer or Netscape in order to use these add-ons. 65. AOL always gives you a message after 46 minutes that says PLEASE CLICK OK WITHIN 10 MINUTES OR YOU WILL BE LOGGED OFF. This message only does harmful things, such as cancelling downloads and page loading, and not a thing that helps with making AOL faster. 66. AOL is cheap. They ban you from doing all sorts of things. Most  which are legal. 67. You can't upload MP3's at all. Yes, you can, but they're just going to ignore it. 68. The GOODBYE wav plays when you sign off. It sounds harsh and makes you feel like you deserved to be logged off. 69. AOL is a mess!!! There are too many users. 70. Free AOL (100 Hours and up) seems short, but, ZAP, that's how fast it goes. And then you have to pay after the first month, even though you haven't used up your free hours. 71. You can only create a screen name that is up to 10 characters. Sooner or later they'll run out of names to create and they can't create any more names. (EX: aaaaaaaaaa, aaaaaaaaab aaaaaaaaac, aaaaaaaabb, and sooner or later they will run out of letters.) Where as in other online services and free emails and free web hosting pages they'll let you create more than 10 or unlimited. 72. The AOL server is sometimes VERY slow compared to other online services or internet services because it has too many ass people who's on line doing nothing, just wasting space and time. 73. You can't upload files to Geoshities using an aol Browser. It will automatically signs you off and say, "YOUR CONNECTION TO AOL HAS BEEN LOST. PLEASE SIGN ON AGAIN." 74. Anything that comes from the AOL TOS is BULLSHIT. Don't listen to them. 75. The AOL TOS is TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS SHIT. 76. Some things will run on Netscape, but NOT on a AOL browser. 77. AOL crashes too much. It automatically closes, thus losing all the content that you were working with, or other needed utilities. 78. You can't upload any files larger than 16MB. 79. A member's web pages (members.aol.com) get deleted when he cancels his screen name, which causes 404 Errors on the web. 80. You can't use the string (word) "fuc" in your profile. 81. You can't use the string (word) "shit" in your profile. 82. AOL mixes up screen names with Instant Messenger names, which makes it hard to email because you can't email people who's names are only avalible in AOL instant messengers. 83. AOL has lots of Gays and Lesbians in it; they use valuable AOL space for sex. 84. AOL sucks because you'll get in trouble for sending pornography even for fun, which is not THAT critical. 85. AOL has lots of bugs in it. 86. AOL software is confusing to new people. Think about all the things he has to do to setup AOL correctly. 87. AOL kids only is for infants only. Kids don't need any special protection. They can control themselves. 88. AOL records things in your windows registry, which makes it hard to backup. 89. AOL takes too long to initialize your modem. 90. AOL sucks because it may charge you extra money. I had to pay an extra $10! 91. AOL sucks because if you set your parental controls to Kids only, then you can't go to any adult or member web sites. Even if you log on to Netscape you can't do it. 92. AOL does false advertising to make you interested in its products. 93. AOL responds like a 90 year old's. 94. When downloading, AOL always displays that crap image: it wastes download time and worst of all, NO ONE WILL PAY ATTENTION TO THEM!!! 95. AOL's web site only support newer versions of browsers. 96. You may only use AOL NetMail ONLY IF you are a member, which makes its unworthy for people who doesnt have AOL. 97. AOL Netfind gives you more trouble, and less results. 98. When you're typinge EMAIL and not using AOL too often, AOL will give you a message saying YOU HAVE BEEN IDLE FOR A WHILE. DO YOU WANT TO STAY ONLINE?. This message prevents you from doing anything in AOL and if you don't respond you will be logged off. 99. Chat rooms are always full. 100. You can only create a few screen names at a time, and when you create them it's hard to pick out the right name, because there are too many damn users.
