vBulletin Hates Me!

1) (no offense intended) AOL, so easy to use, no wonder why the internet is full of morons.

I think it's time you gave this a rest. I have two family members who use AOL; care to call them idiots again?

Time to let the AOL bashing die, please.

In fact, I use it. The £15 per month unlimited dial-up connection is a good deal, especially when I can't get cable or ADSL in my road.

And, in fact, I use AOL. The ability to keep the one e-mail address I've had since leaving college is a wonder in its own right.

It may be a wonder, but I'd bet it's a bane as well. How much spam do you get each week?

Does that mean that you can't vote in polls on your own messageboard?

 

[Morrus]

Nope, I can vote just fine.

AOL learned its lesson a long time ago, and built in the ability to use external browsers and programs over its connection. All you do is (as MDAddict says) is open the other program at the same time.

And MDAddict, not all AOL users are morons - your "joke" fell a little flat. But the simple fact is that ALL ISP's have their share of insulting, rude, crass people - the fact that AOL is the Largest ISP out there means that you see more of these insulting people with AOL taglines than you do from other ISP's - it's a principle of proportionality.

I myself don't use the AOL program, but my ISP (Roadrunner) is OWNED by AOL-Time Warner, so I SORT of use AOL. But with the speed I get, it's a stigma I can live with.
