i cancelled my BYOA $5/month plan a long time ago, I never use them but I always paid them 5 bucks a month just because I'm lazy, until they changed it to 7 dollars without notifying me, that pissed me off and gave me incentive to finally pick up the phone and cancel, i went through the cancel-hell that the fat dude went through (you all probably have seen the news and videos). The primary screen name that I had is still active on AIM, but since cancelling AOL I was under the impression that all my AOL benefits would be taken away -- including my webspace.
My friend told me that my AOL website is still up, and there is a guestbook still active and being actively spammed daily by spammers. I contacted AOL support via chat about 3-4 times (phone people would just ask you to join...) already and they always said they're working on it or will open a help ticket for the proper group. I told them there's personal and private information that I no longer wanted to be exposed online, but after a few months it's still up and running.
(For AOL webspace, the only way you can FTP into your site and have write/delete privileges is if you are logged into that particular AOL account using AOL client. there is no other ways around it.)
Do any of you know of some PR dept in AOL that I can contact and raise a ruckus like the fat guy did? After that incident, and continued loss of subscribers, i'm sure they don't want any further bad publicity
Fvck you aol
