Part 2 Items 101-215 COMMENTS? EMAIL ME AT Half_____Life@hotmail.com 101. AOL has endless ads. 102. aol's dialup feature is slow and poor. 103. if you're connected to the network with aol then you will experience "TURTLE" Speed browsing on the web. 104. The aol company has fallen way behind in technology. 105. when you download something your ims and aol speed gets really slow. 106. Punters can mess AOL up sometimes. 107. AOL mail settings can block the exchange of communication and files from members. 108. Whoever created parental controls is a pure SOB with almost 0% of brain and almost 100% shit in their head. 109. AOL makes it hard to download stuff sometimes. 110. sometimes when you download stuff it will say FILE NOT FOUND - I mean on AOL, not on the web. 111. Sending mail sometimes does not work. 112. Sending mail sometimes take a lot longer than expected. 113. when you install aol 4.0 it will be in your system tray, which makes windows longer to load. 114. AOL takes a lot of memory. 115.When aol shuts down by itself (when it froze) the phone line does NOT disconnect, which means that you can't re-sign on aol without restarting your computer. 116. AOL's features are always busy or not avalible. 117. You can't reply to the MAILER-DAEMON@aol.com address to ask them questions. 118. If you try to do something before AOL finishes loading it will mess up. 119. If you don't be careful then it will freeze when you click on the sign off menu, causing your whole computer to lock up. 120. AOL almost never reply back to your emails, or they reply after a LONG time. 121. Accessing the WWW with the AOL browser can freeze AOL and even your computer. 122. Older versions of AOL does not have an uninstall program. 123. If you scroll in Instant Messages, they'll "jail your ass" for a couple of days. Can't create or delete screen names, can't use IM's, and so on. 124. For those people who like to be neat, you need to close all the useless pop-up windows that AOL displays. 125. You can't bookmark a WWW site with pop up windows in AOL 4.0. Try it. It will bookmark the pop up window instead. 126. If you create a chat room that's SLIGHTLY not appropriate for one area then it will be deleted IMMEDIATELY. 127. Chat rooms that you've created last for only 2 minutes or so, then it gets deleted. 128. Better AOL is only avalible in the US. There's AOL that's sorry in some other countries. 129. When AOL Decompresses things, it has to decompress EVERYTHING in that Zip file and to that folder. 130. When you download something, it will always ask you to save it in C:\AOLXX\DOWNLOAD\. 131. If you're trying to download 100 Starcraft Scenerio files from AOL(Default download locations is C:\AOL\DOWNLOAD) to C:\PROGRAM FILES\STARCRAFT\MAPS then you'll have to switch to the following folders 100 times: [C:\AOL\DOWNLOAD\]> cd.. [C:\AOL\]> cd.. [C:\]> cd program files OR [C:\]> cd progra~1 [C:\Program Files\]> cd Starcraft [C:\Program Files\Starcraft\]> cd maps [C:\Program Files\Starcraft\Maps\]> <> You would have to click to death to locate that folder every time. 132. Hackers like to pick on AOL members first. 133. AOL shareware and files is out of date, so when you download it it will say file not found. 134. If you install files too out of date, then it might mess up your system. 135. You can't resume an upload with AOL. 136. AOL loses its connections a lot. 137. AOL freezes sometimes when you try to sign on. 138. AOL netmail on netscape requires lots of additional features to it. 139. You can't unzip files using AOL downloaded from the WWW. 140. With other internet services, you can get online faster. With AOL, it's too slow. 141. Compuserve 2000 will damage AOL 4.0 if they're both installed. 142. You cannot bookmark some windows or sites in AOL. For example, file search results cannot be boomarked. 143. You can't find words using "FIND IN TOP WINDOW" function with the AOL browser. 144. AOL disconnects even when you're not idle. 145. The AOL white pages has only a few people listed. 146. Never trust the AOL corporation. They are a fraud in disguise. They're no good. 147. Don't use compuserve. It's being bought by the AOL company. 148. AOL should be called Gay-O-L because it has too many gays and lesbians using it. 149. AOL's quotes and perks icons are ignored by a lot of members. _____________________________________________________________ AOL is being too cheap to the "Kids only channel" because of: 150. The out of date PC Games and the removal of all mac games. 151. The number of chat rooms created for kids 152. The cheapness of the ask-a-teacher service - you don't get replies until 48 hours or after 48 hours. 153. The limited access of the World Wide Web 154. The restrictions to the outside world on the kids only channel. 155. The kids only channel has only music information, and no music downloads. 156. The AOL netfind for Kids only is TOTALLY SHIT, because with AOL Netfind you can't find what you want, but with Netfind Kids Only its even worse. 157. None of the games on AOL Kids only (except some PC games) are that fun. 158. The Kids only cheat codes page for the PC games are very limited. Kids who like other games and who are under kids only controls can NOT find the codes for that particular game. _____________________________________________________________ 159. ANTAGONIST INC., Aol's most popular gaming site, has lots of games, but they're all shareware, so it sucks bad. 160. AOL's browser lacks functionality, compared to Netscape and Internet Explorer. 161. You can tell the AOL browser to stop loading, but you can't tell other windows in AOL to stop loading. 162. When you create a screen name, you can only use letters and numbers. NO symbols, not even a "." 163. You can create spaces in your SN, but they are ignored. Example, if you create a name called "AOL SUX", then it will appear as AOLSUX in the add buddy list box. If the name "AOL SUX" is taken, then you cannot create "AOLSUX". 164. AOL 4.0 always refreshes every time it switch to or log on to a screen name, in this case, AOL interrupts your work and brings its program window open. 165. The name "PROTOSS" is forbidden in creating a new Screen name. I tried it before and it did not work. PROTOSS IS A POWERFUL RACE IN THE GAME STARCRAFT, AND MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT. SO WHY DID YOU ASS-FOLLOWING AOL STAFF AND THE AOL TOS BAN THIS NAME????? 166. The AOL TOS (Totally Obnoxious Shit) is too retarded to be put up the net. 167. You can only set parental controls in your master screen name. 168. Go to keyword: PARENTAL CONTROLS. Don't listen to anything they say. It's just pure retarded BULLSHIT. 169. AOL has an OUT OF DATE version of the popular Operating System LINUX. People like popular and CURRENT Operating Systems, not those really old ones. Some of them are so old that they got deleted. 170. AOL should be called AO-Hell, because its software and the service should go to hell. 171. In instant messages and chat rooms, you cannot type in more than 512 characters. 172. AOL can be called Pay-For-Hell; you pay for nothing but a crappy software, and what do you get that's good? NOTHING!!!!!!!! 173. Your aol benefits are 1/(10 X 10^1000). 174. AOL is bullshit on the inside. Some of yall might be enjoying it, but once you've really getting into it Its PURE bullshit. 175. People who make SNs out of the most popular names (such as DAVID, DON, and so on) delete them and restore them every 6 months. You CANNOT send them email nor create the exact same name they had. 176. AOL deletes your read email if you dont activate it in a couple of days. Older versions of aol dont do that. 177. Don't you realize that AOL is a spammer's heaven? 178. When AOL asks you "PLEASE CLICK ON OK WITHIN 10 MINUTES OR YOU WILL BE LOGGED OFF" everything gets interrupted by the stupid AOL window. 179. You sometimes show 100% tolerance to the slow AOL software, but they show ZERO tolerance when you violated the TOS. 180. AOL is no longer the #1 best service in the US. It should be the worst or next to the worst. 181. Sometimes AOL will not close completely, thus you cannot open other dial-up boxes nor use other internet services. 182. AOL's busy signals have become pains in the ass for those of you who use AOL a lot. 183. Clinical terms such as penis and transsexual are considered a threat to the community. ITS CLINICAL, NOT FOR REAL YOU DAMN TOTALLY OBNOXIOUS SHIT!!!!!! 184. You can't use the word "SEX" in room or screen names, even if the room name is called AGE/SEX CHECK. 185. AOL disconnects people who type in the same thing a little faster. 186. AOL staff and leaders are always behind your ass and find out what you say about them in your home page. 187. AOL staff have complete control over your account. They can go on Keyword "ONLINECRIS" and do anything that they want with anyone's account. 188. There are too many spammers on AOL. They always send you junk email. 189. AOL Mail is not compatible with Internet Explorer. 190. Other Mail programs are restricted in AOL. 191. Only Morons now would use AOL for $23.95 plus $5 a month than get an ISDN connection for $50 a month. AOL transfers data at 1K per second, ISDN at least 64K per sec. 192. AOL has LOW bandwith for downloading and mail. 193. You can create unlimited email addresses with Yahoo, Hotmail, and other services, but with AOL, you can only create 7. 194. AOL is as horrible as satan. 195. AOL is also a hacker's paradise. 196. AOL displays ads before you log on and after you log off. 197. People bother you too much in AOL. There are TONS of sex morons who tries to send you Instant Messages and spammed junk email. 198. The TOS will be against you if you put something that's even close to being illegal. If you do it twice they might terminate your account. 199. At peak traffic times, with an 28.8 K modem you can only transfer 24.0 kbps or even less. 200. If you're hacking and they find out your IP, then they will easily tell that its from AOL. 201. I don't think you can find any internet which has speeds slower than a snail besides AOL. 202. Scrollers rule. People who tells on others that scroll suck bad time!!!!! 203. The AOL CD is worthless. Just some cheap undescribable software. 204. The AOL Floppy disk is WORSE. They compressed that shitty software so much that if you damage the disk a lot, then you lose a big part of it's software, which might cause the software to stop functioning. 205. The START YOUR OWN CHAT selection under the PEOPLE menu doesn't work. If you create a member chat it just will not work, and if you create a private chat it is just like entering a private chat. 206. AOL has everything you needed, but a VERY WEAK version of them. 207. AOL 2.5 is so stupid that internet explorer and netscape will not support it; when you open netscape or IE it will say "Cannot find server" or "The host could not be located" 208. AOL is not colorful. AOL 4.0 is slightly better, but 3.0 is a LOT worse. 209. AOL's search engine, AOL netfind is weak. It does not have any search options but to put the word AND between words. 210. The AOL's Toolbar sux bad. 4.0 is too dark, 3.0 is too ugly, and 2.5 or below, don't think about it. 211. Technicians dont help you online, so if you have any questions you're gonna have to call AOL. 212. AOL just has too many fatal errors. This happens very often and AOL staff are trying to fix them, but they have FAILED miserably. 213. Who would be stupid enough to make a file called WAOL.EXE in the aol directory? 214. The staff say AOL's server is unlimited, but it is actually not, so thats why its so slow. 215. Whoever notify AOL (Except for spammed email) is stupid. My Last word to you.... NO BULLSHIT, KILL AOL!!!!!!! DEFEAT AOL!!!!!! GET OUT OF THE PRISON OF SATAN!!!!!!! GET AN ISDN OR A CABLE SERVICE!!!!!! GET A NEW INTERNET SERVICE!!!!!! NEVER COME BACK TO AOL!!!!!!! (Aol Instant messenger is OK.) NEVER LAG AGAIN WITH AOL SERVICE!!!!!! SAY NO TO THE BUSY SIGNALS AND THE SLOW SERVICE!!!!! SUE AOL TODAY!!!!!!!! DO NOT ACCEPT MAILS FROM AOL STRANGERS!!!!!!! SAY NO TO ANY ADVERTISEMENTS ON AOL!!!!!!! SAY" GOODBYE FOREVER, LAMER" TO AOL ONCE YOU GET A NEW INTERNET!!!!!!!
