aol and anandtech login

[sonoma1993]

I was at my girlfriend last night. They have crappy ol aol dial up. Well anyways, i tried to log into my anandtech account, but it kept giving me error about account credntials wrong or somethen like that. I know I put my user name and password in correct. Tried like 10 times to login. Does anandtech reject login attempts from anyone that using an aol account?

Check Forum Issue Forum would be my guess

sounds like a reasonable conclusion

4. In addition to the above, all of AOL's system is banned from the forums; this includes their IP addresses. This means that even if you sign up with a different E-mail address, you will not be able to post if you connect to the internet using their service.

It stems back to when there were a lot of spammers and trolls on the forum from AOL. One dude kept coming back and being a royal pain in the ass.

AnandTech tried contacting AOL for help in dealing with this user, but AOL pretty much told AnandTech to f*ck off... so the mods and admins decided to just block AOL.
