  1. So if I go back to FREE AOL Desktop Gold, what do I loose? Nothing. You're stripping this down anyway, 'support' is non existent.

    Why pay the five buck subscription fee for 'support'. What are you supporting? Certainly not our wishes nor the good stuff you once had that drew us to AOL in the first place.

  4. racist

    Enough with all the racist *. Everything is racist these days. However, nothing is racist against whites. You can call them pigs, supremacists, hate mongers, animals, anything that comes to mind and that's okay. Look cross-eyed or have a complaint against a *, a Hispanic, an Asian, a Latin American, an illegal and BAM. You are racist. If all these "wonderful" people are so great at what they do than why the ** is their country falling apart and why do they want to come here.....??? Dah....yea I am racist...I hate stupidity.

  7. Over charging for programs

    Your programs you are charging $3.99 a month for are a very bad deal for subscribers and not a benefit. You are way over charging. I can go to the companies web site and get it for a fixed price for $25 to $30 and not make continuous payments. Your techs are instructed to sell it and I tell them what I stated here and that it is not their fault, One program, Super Anti Spyware is not so super and is rated very low. I tried a trial version and did not buy it and they came back with…

  8. I have real concerns re: instability of aol gold

    I've been with AOL for over 20 years, but I'm very concerned about the lack of stability with aol gold. The last week of aol activity has been very frustrating. Here's what I'm seeing: 1) I sent an email to a friend,
    a copy to myself, and he called me a minute or two later. I told him about the email and he said 'Yep, I got it!' This is great! My email disappeared when I clicked 'send,' BUT I have yet to receive MY copy and there is no entry of the email in my 'send' part of the…

  10. No guest's

    It's time to stop allowing "guest's" to comment on the comment section's stories. The guest's turn the board into a joke fest.

  11. Eliminate chatroom bosses

    I believe that Aol should eliminate chatroom moderators / bosses . Strangers should not be allowed to block paying Aol customers posts . Aol should have the final say as related to blocking posts in a chatroom .... Aol should eliminate chatroom moderators because human beings that are given that kind of power will cheat . Chatroom bosses are cheating your Aol customers everyday if they disagree with your customer politically , they will block your aol paying customers posts

  12. Desktop Gold is a joke

    When AOL was free rarely had an issue, then you start charging $5.99 a month and nothing but problems. Usually when you pay for a service it's better, but not in this case, Fix it or make it free again!!!

  14. Omarosa

    The fact that AOL would waste everyone's time with **** about this *-* woman is insulting. The AOL membership and readership has gone down the toilet if this is what you think we are interested in. AOL sucks.

  15. MANY PEOPLE CONSIDER AOL TO BE A VIRUS UNTO ITSELF!

    EVER TRY TO GET AOL OFF YOUR COMPUTER? NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. IT VIRTUALLY TAKES A COMPLETE ERASING AND CLEARING OF YOUR HARD DRIVE AND RELOADING WINDOWS OR MAC PROGRAM, ITS THAT DEEP INTO YOUR SYSTEM. MOST PEOPLE I TALK TO LAUGH ABOUT AOL AND CONSIDER IT JUNK AND THE ABSOLUTE WORST PROGRAM OUT THERE. YET, AOL CHARGES FOR SPAMMING US WITH ADS, POPUPS, CYBER AND BANDWIDTH CLUTTER. AOL IS WIDELY CONSIDERED A JOKE AND A PROGRAM FOR SENIORS. AOL ROUTINELY CRASHES AND LOCKS UP YOUR COMPUTER. IT REALLY IS DREADFUL.

  18. Feedback re: Gold "look"

    Change the "look" from childish and whimsical to neat and professional. The former style met my expectations, The "Gold" version is not eye-friendly at all.
