I am back fellow Spiderwebbers. My family changed the family webserver. Sadly AOL has turned into theivs, they know they have everything and so they can charge as much as they want and there members will not leave because where else are they going to go. But it got too expensive for us, my family owns three cars and a house so we can not afford a web server that will charge as much as they want and think nobody can do anything about them because there AOL. I'm sure Ted Turner who is partners with AOL probily owns a fleet of luxerly cars and a giant mansion and can still afford AOL. But as for my family that does not take in one tenth of what Mr Turner brings in, things are a little diffrent. Anyway I now have Verizon which is a very big phone company in the states, and have there own webserver. But sadly to say Verizon sucks. Even though AOL are big, greedy and take advantage of the fact that they have Instant messanger and no otther webserver does, but they still had a good server. I do not miss dealing or should I say my family dealing with the Evil that is AOL, but I do miss there instant messanger and everything else that AOL had that no otther webserver(not even a webserver as big as MSN) has. AOL is so great and so terrible at the same time, and the great part creats the terrible part. I guess too much of a good thing is a bad thing. -------------------- "I am young, I am twenty years old:yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow."

It's too bad you don't have a good server . Welcome back, though, JF. -------------------- The Club of All Chance Forums I was once member #2475, but then my account was deleted because of a bug. Post count=406+whatever it says below. Posts: 402 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

You know, you can download AOL Instant Messenger from http://www.aim.com/ without using AOL... -------------------- I believe there are 15 747 724 136 275 002 577 105 653 961 181 555 468 044 717 914 527 116 709 366 231 425 076 185 631 031 296 protons in the universe, and the same number of electrons. -- Sir Arthur Eddington Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:Being an insane network maniac, i must point out! It is NOT a webserver!! It is called an ISP, which stands for Internet Service Provider, although I hear (and i won't go into the details as I don't know them) some call them Online Services, since compuserve(owned by aol)/aol are somwhat different from normal ISP's. Yes, you can get the instant messenger from http://www.aim.com./ without AOL. Finally, a webserver is something you put a website on. Such as spidweb.com. Their site is on a webserver. -------------------- CMS for PHP/MySQL Supporting Webservers The Automated Ad-Free Horizontal-Scrollbar-Proof Blades of Avernum Script Archive Posts: 612 | Registered: Saturday, October 13 2001 07:00 |

It never ceases to amaze me, JF, that you manage to turn a simple "I'm Back" topic into a poorly constructed rant about AOL. -------------------- KazeArctica: "Imagine...wangs everywhere...and tentacles.

Well I generally hate AOL. AOL is a good example of a group that if they had to follow the laws of a modernized christian society they woul be put in jail. But since they are a big company they can use the laws to there own agenda. It's like at the beginning of The Phantom Menace when Darth Sideous told the viceRoy to invade Nabo. The Viceroy asked, Is that legal. Darth Sideous responded, I'll make it legal. Well Turner Enterprise is sort of the nonviction version of the Sith, I can actually see a big comparison between Ted Turner and DarthSideous. and AOL is like the Trade Federation. Actually wait, Ted Turner is just annoying, Well I have no clue who Darth Sideous is but AOL=Evil. -------------------- "I am young, I am twenty years old:yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow."
