I've talked to a couple AOL guys and we can't participate in the thirdgen chat. This is not right. You should fix this.

 

Same problem here .

 

Have you done it before? Seems to me if you say anything bad, they will block you.

 

You could be alittle nicer about asking your question. Anyway....,the Chat Gods can explain it in better detail, but from my understanding if one person from AOL is banned from chat it effects all AOL users. It's due to some technical computer stuff so it may not be related to something that you have done, but another AOL user.

 

Not me, I've never been able to get into the chat room.

 

Maybe because your an A**h*le every where you post. I just followed this Pr*ck for another forum. I'll be watching you.

 

NOW IM SCARED!

 

Your the guy who was being the @$$hole not me,your the guy who was bashing some body for owning a mustang not me ,and your the guy who was trying to start a flame war not me.

Heance you were the PR*CK, not me.

 

Yea, what he said!

lose the internet training wheels and get a real ISP

 

CALM DOWN!!!!


YOUR NO BETTER THAN HE IS BY CALLING HIM NAMES

I WOULD LOCK THIS IF I COULD, BUT I CANT IN THIS FORUM

 

If you use AOL, you can't chat. You can thank the AOL users that have come before you, and every AOL user that joins when the AOL ban is dropped on a trail basis. If you want to join your best bet is to hit it at a time when the bans down or to get another ISP.

 

Thanks for the info. I wasn't trying to be rude, but to get attention. Anyways, i stick with AOL cause I'm an internet rookie. By the way, whats an ISP?

 

Internet Service Provider.

AOL is an ISP, however bad of one they might be

 

Sounds to me like the AOL user isn't being blocked, but the AOL gateway proxy is.

This can affect every AOL user who access the web through this proxy. Im sure AOL has hundreds, but blocking one proxy could block out tens of thousands of individual AOL users.

AOL personal IP ---> AOL proxy ---> hops ---> weblocation

Or maybe it's blocking the class B or C IP, and not individual user
"D"

128.128.128.128.
a . b . c . d

See, if you block a class C, (128.128.X.X), then 65,536 users are blocked

 

Nice guess, a valliant effort.


But the AOL host is blocked, thus any IP address that resolves back to an AOL hostname is not going to successfully join.

There have been repeated AOL users who have abused the chat, and with the ban in effect its a nice quiet peacefull constructive enjoyable place to unwind in the evening for the more respectfull groups of people.

If you use aol and their dns is broken you can join without being banned, however I'll notice the subnet and If you cause the slightest problem you'd probably get banned again anyways.

With that being said

Aside from AOL there is hardly EVER any bans in place, and in fact as we speak there's a total of 2, and has been that way for quite some time now, AOL, and an ISP that the user mainly responsible for the AOL ban signed on from.

 

Amen.

 

dont mine AFrikinGoodTime everytime I make a post he says some smart @$$ stuff. Hes just full of most of the time anyway so.
