4. I lost my wedding page. thank you very much AOL. AMERICA online? horsepoopie! More like COMMUNIST online. How dare you? Hand in hand with MSN closing MSN groups. Tons of work, hours of work by thousands of people gone down the drain. Many memories destroyed. Yeah, I know the sites were free. I would gladly pay a couple of bucks a month to keep my wedding page, and other pages. At least you creeps could have given us some notice. AOL sucks. I had internet with AOL for two months. Shoddy service. They advertise you get it for free. Horsepoopie! You have to pay first then you get a refund on your credit card. Then they try some horsepoopie and bill you second month, meanwhile, you're paying finance charges on your credit card. Go on, get out of business AOL, nobody will miss you.
5. Hello I have created a profile but it is not showing up in the AOL Member Directory search when I search my screen name for it...DeadSunDisturbed. It looks like I do not have a profile. Can you please help me with this issue? I feel that if I have an AOL Member Profile, which I do, that it should show up in the Member Directory search. I would really appreciate greatly any help you can give me with this matter. Thanks Very Much!

7. You might try plugging your AOL Hometown URL into
8. I got at least 3 emails from AOL notifying me that hometown was being shut down and web pages would be lost.
Isn't AOL owned by Time-Warner? There's your answer as to why AOL is spiraling into a black hole. Minimize services, minimize cost, maximize profit. That IS America! The truth is, the competition is putting AOL out of business. They're not the only ones doing this. Verizon did the same to their file storage service. Other services are also going the way of the dodo.
Those of you who had websites at hometown, they're gone forever. If you don't have the files backed up somewhere, you're sol. Sorry. If you have your files, go to www.60host.com. You can get your OWN DOMAIN NAME for $8 a year and web hosting with 2,600 Mb of web space and 60 Gb of bandwidth (which is more than you will ever need)for under $8 a month. (My website at www.tampapix.com is hosted by 60host.) Also basic web publishing software.
I've been paying $8.95 a month for my AOL for years, ever since they offered this price if I would use someone else as my Internet provider. This enables you to continue to be an AOL member and use the AOL PC application instead of having to use the Internet email service.

7. You might try plugging your AOL Hometown URL into
WayBackMachine (Top Center of the page)
http://www.archive.org/index.php
It does archieve Hometown pages and may allow you to retrieve some or all of your pages.
If you need help with purchasing a domain name or creating a new website perhaps I can help.
