    You all need to listen to your customers and bring back instant messaging. That is what made you all great. Whoever thought that AOL gold was a great idea needs to be fired immediately. People want to be able to instant message and have their buddy list back so that they can keep in touch with friends. I didn't mind all the advertisement that popped u, just as long as I have a buddy list and instant chat.

    Can no longer see when my friends are online. No fun at all. I can live without IM's but not without Buddy List. Everything you offer can be had at other places so Buddy List was a big plus for AOL.

    Why are we paying to have things taken away from us? Bring the Buddy List back! A big part of liking AOL was that you knew when your friends were online and could email back and forth in real time.

    That worked so well, Why get rid of a product that worked

  • JACQUIE CATALANO commented  ·   ·  Report

    Thousands of us used Messenger to contact the world and now that you're charging us exorbitant fees, you take away the best feature of AOL!

    We need to know when our friends are online. AOL is no fun without this.

    I wish have Buddy List back to chat on this

  • Ceil commented  ·   ·  Report

    Buddy lists were also a good part of the old AOL. I could see who was on in an instant and I could communicate with them instantly!

  • Ceil commented  ·   ·  Report

    This and email were the best part of AOL program. Why is AOL moving backwards instead of forward?? IM's were the best way to keep in touch with family and friends. Facebook, twitter and all those programs have nothing on AOL's IM's!

    We want our IMs back, please! We are paying for this service and ought to get something for it/

    You have done nothing but ruin the AOL experience in the last year to where all I use it for now is to receive email. If I hadn't used the same email address for more than 20 years I would just cancel my account. You have driven away customers by switching to AOL Gold and charging them, and then provided no reason for paying customers to stay by getting rid of the IM system and AIM. At the very least restore some kind of messaging system.

    With AIM out of the picture, I think AOL Desktop client is useless. There is absolutely no need to continue this client. That was the best part of AOL. I can use Chrome or Firefox to surf the internet and check e-mail, and use my own anti-virus. It's basically ruined now. I've been an AOL user since 1998 and no AIM basically made it a turn off, a deal breaker. I have no idea why we are testing something with no means of instant messaging communication.

    I've noticed that you've added new or different icons up on the task bar but it still would be good that although we no longer have Instant Messaging if you could bring back the Buddy List so we could see if any of our friends & family are online!! Of course, ideally it would be great if some kind of instant messaging were returned!!!
