Turning cyber-friends into REAL friends

by KaraHoo , Jan 27 '00
Pros: Boards are easy and fun to use...you meet so many great people
Cons: Loony ladies dropping by every so often ;)
I know in earlier opinions I've snarked about the low quality of America Online's community, and I stand by my words. But one place where I think AOL really shines is on their message boards. AOL's boards have the potential to connect--and forever...

The best and easiest!

by Shoo , Feb 04 '00
Pros: everything about it
Cons: none
I've found AOL message boards to be the best of all other message boards.

by hupfauf , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Clean, easy to use
Cons: system response problems
AOL has inherent problems. I really don't believe that they are any worse than other isps and web sites. Of course, AOL is working fine today. (knocking furiously on wood.) Ask me tomorrow when I am ready to bang my head against the keyboard in system...

Love/Hate Relationship

by tweetyva , Jan 29 '00
Pros: Lots of information, valuable tips
Cons: Spam from having name harvested from boards, system not responding errors
I have a love/hate relationship with AOL message boards. Having been on AOL for 4 years the message boards were the one thing I hated to let go when leaving. I have gained a vast amount of information and knowledge from them and even started into a new...

Addicted To Message Boards

by GreerGrace , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Unlimited Resources
Cons: Slow At Times
One of my favorite things about AOL is the message boards. I found the boards after being online a few weeks and I have never left! You can find a huge variety of boards available.

The posters within the boards become as close as friends that...

The best, Hands down!

by myheartx4 , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Friendship, savings, product reviews, etc
Cons: When the boards are down for upgrades, I am lost without my friends!
I discovered the AOL message boards within hours of signing on for the first time. I have been addicted ever since.

I've met several hundred people on the boards, and that is why I will never give up AOL. When I was 4 months pregnant with my...

My Only Reason for Aoling

by Melissa_M , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Great people, good ideas for some activities
Cons: Run slow (AOL), hard to find posts
AOL does have one feature that makes it worthwhile...Message Boards. My first message board was Freebies-Mom's Online. I love that board; it helped me save tons of money for Christmas and since then, as well. Then, I ran across the Tightwad Boards.

The Hidden Treasure.

by Kristenlov , Mar 03 '00
Pros: The common interests that bring you there develop great friendships
Cons: Dishonest people who post.
I was put on bedrest when I was 32 weeks pregnant with my second son. After about a week, I was ready to pull my hair out. I wasn't much for getting online other than to check email and one day out of boredom, I came across AOL's PARENT SOUP. I found...

I am in total agreement with you on AOL's Message Boards! They are interesting, educational, fun and after awhile, it feels like a second family!

Unlike chat rooms, which can get so "noisy" with different people talking on...

AOL cannot establish your connection at this time....

by justkathy5 , Jan 26 '00
Pros: the people
Cons: everything else
AOL's message boards are the only reason I'm still sending them $9.95 per month. I started 3 years ago with AOL-I really liked the idea of having everything I needed all in one place.

In the last year or so, however, I've become more and more...
