It still works, but when it was new, you could access it by URL as well. AOL actually fixed the URL access because I was sending links to their german porn to american.....

AOL slowly fixed this; as time passed, less and less manips worked. At the end, you could only send (return)l and (return)t right before they fixed it.
Date 1996Founded VariousSubmitted By PHATSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive It started with early versions of AOL (2.5 through late 4.0). AOLers were often punted offline via constant strings of gibberish HTML or other text sent to victims in IM’s. With 2.5 and 3.0, the text didn’t matter as much as how fast your prog could send IMs. Most computers at the time 2.5/3.0 was around were Pentium I’s or lower and.....

Date 2000 Founded Hypah Submitted By HypahSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive The indent trick originally allowed 12 char SNs on AOL 2.7 and presumably would have let 18 char names be made on new AOL’s. However, AOL started double-checking the length in June-July 2000 which is really gay because it prevented many AIMs from being converted on 2.7 as well as longer SNs being made.
ACI management’s late fall 1998 announcement on procedure for reporting compromised CL accounts is a prime illustration of AOL’s painfully slow reflex in dealing with serious ongoing problems. In fact, they move so slowly sometimes we wonder if they are still breathing. Their tendency to shelve any progress on serious issues until so much damage has been done and there’s so much negative publicity that.....

An Internet entrepreneur who made headlines in 2003 when he bought a million-dollar mansion two years after graduating from high school died in an Akron house fire early Thursday morning.
Ryan D. Johnson, 26, whose financial, medical and domestic troubles had been documented in media reports, was in a second-floor bathroom when the fire started in a house in the 1100 block of West Market Street.
Two other occupants in the home when the fire started made it out safely, Capt. Al Bragg of the Akron Fire Department said.
Firefighters were called to the house about 2:40 a.m., with reports that people were trapped inside, he said.
At the scene, they found heavy smoke and flames coming from the second story, he said.
‘‘When we arrived, we found one person was still inside the house, and firefighters made an aggressive interior attack and found him in a bathroom adjacent to a bedroom,’’ Bragg said.
Firefighters reported the fire under control at 3:06 a.m.
Johnson was transported to Akron General Medical Center, where he later died, Bragg said.
When reached at her Cuyahoga Falls home, Johnson’s mother, Claudia Johnson, did not want to discuss her son’s death.
Johnson was a 20-year-old graduate of Cuyahoga Falls High School with a reputation as a computer wizard when he paid $933,000 for a Granger Road home in bath Township that was listed at $1.1 million.
Two years after the purchase, police reports indicated Johnson had done $100,000 damage to the 4,200-square-foot house.
According to court documents, police responded to the address numerous times. In the spring of 2004, police reported he smashed a 2-month-old Volkswagen Touareg through the security gate of his house, plowed the car into a tree then beat it with golf clubs and boulders.
They also found a Mercedes SL500 parked in Yellow Creek under a bridge next to the house.
The next day, Johnson drove the Touareg into the creek because, ‘‘It’s my birthday,’’ he told police. The vehicles were worth more than $100,000, police said.
He was admitted to St. Thomas Hospital on physician’s orders following the incident, a township official said at the time.
Johnson, who was still smashing the SUV when police arrived, said he did it in an effort to prove to his ex-girlfriend that money meant nothing to him.
In April 2004, police found him breaking windows and beating his living room walls with a sledge hammer.
In May 2005, Johnson was declared incompetent to stand trial on a charge of contempt of court. In June, a judge ordered him to receive 60 days of inpatient care for mental illness.
