What the hell happened to AOL?

[Toad Eightyfive]

I found some old Nickelodeon tapes I made when I was four a few days ago, and I keep seeing ads for this old thingy called America Online, and it's bringing back so many memories.

I remember this being, like, the biggest thing years ago. It was like Facebook and Google rolled into one; everyone had it, we were always talking about the next edition, we used it for pretty much anything and everything. And then around 2005 it just drops off the face of the earth.

I miss AOL.

I'm still using it. :V

Just wait until someone does an image macro with AOL that says "I was dubstep before it was cool".

Unless it's already been done.

That doesn't even really bother me anymore anyway.
