That Robot
Sep 16, 2004

ask me anything about robots

and by that i mean like some of the official content from that period of time, screenshots of AOL working with people actually in chat rooms and poo poo, or like game files from that period of time

there are no archives for this sort of thing that i'm aware of. there's probably some old corporate archive somewhere or else it was thrown out like geocities.

it's problematic because it wasn't exactly on the internet as we know it, since it was also their own internal service afaik

but yeah old aol was interesting as a kid

also the BSOD post-icon rules btw

AOL is still up and running. Install it. It really hasn't changed much.

you can still talk to racist old people in chatrooms whose experience of the internet is ancient aol. there was an effort thread here about aol in particular, like the link above, but i can't find it
