Servers are gay. And I don't mean that in a prejudiced way either. They seriously suck. People pay top dollar for these things(not us, but it's the same case for the people who do though) and all they do is go down and deleted files. Yesterday we had a scare. We were down from early yesterday morning, to about 1:30 yesterday afternoon. We couldn't log in, and the website wouldn't load. We were certain everything was gone. Thank god it was only that the server was down, otherwise I would've been seriously pysed. It's not just webservers either, it's ISPs. " AOL is the easiest, fastest, and most efficient way to use the internet, with features not available anywhere else at an affordable price." Bull [expletive-deleted]!!! Last night, at around 9:00 PM I officially became a non-AOL user and switched to my old ISP, the trusty WT.net. There I have an affordable price and better service(even a game server!). At AOL, I payed the very affordable $25.00 a month, just to be kicked off every five minutes, have it freeze every time it kicks me off, and it won't even give a fast connection like I need. 44 kbps is nothing. On WT.net I pay $44.00 every 3 months and I have a faster connection and I don't get kicked off and I don't get frozen. I'm certain though that I'll still have difficulties though, as most ISP servers end up getting a little revamping every once in a while, and believe me, that will suck. But as long as it's not as frequent as AOL, I'll be happy(no not, the other guy). Listen people, AOL has nothing that other internet services have. You know what the difference is? Rain Man. No, not that crappy movie that took away academy awards, but the script used to design AOL exclusive sites. This is the code used, rather than HTML to make sure they aren't accessable without the AOL client. But there is something funny about the whole thing. It's all for show(btw, all those AOL exclusive windows get annoying), because all those AOLE sites have web-based versions as well. Here's a word of advice for Steve Case, don't try to rip off your customers by trying to lure them into your expensive, unneeded glam-show of Hecklers meets chatting. Just stick to the basics. There is nothing that makes your service better than any. You client makes everything slower, your AOLE sites clutter everything up, and the AOLE sites are the same ones on the web, just less efficient and better looking. So I've compiled a list of things that Stevie C. can do to keep his faithful(faithless?) customers around:
- Lower prices and send every one of your customers a check for all the money they shouldn't have spent
- Instead of giving prize points on AOL exclusive contests, give all cutomers a bottle of Jack autographed by A.J. McClean
- Get rid of AOL parental controls. We live in a free world, where 12 year olds should be able to look at porn if they want to
- And finally, go to every cutomer you've ever had's house naked, apologize, bend over, and say "[expletive-deleted] me in the [expletive-deleted], just like I did to every one of you!!!"
Of course, that's just my opinion, I'll be blocked by AOL any time now.
I wanna know what kinda feedback you have for me. Tell me what you think.
