AOL Had Blogs?

Somehow I came across this page about AOL "Hometown" being shut down a couple months ago.  Apparently it was a blog provider, and people are now upset that their blogs are gone.

No doubt that sucks for anyone who used the service.  I feel bad for them.  But... the comments on this post are pure comedy gold:

Is there not a way to obtain the blogs anymore.

So proper... reminds me of this.

FORTUNATELY I SAVED MY WEBPAGE & TRANSFERRED IT TO GEOCITIES.

Real easy to do a simple webpage. With more time I think this could be better than aol.

Better than AOL!  That’ll be the day.

I honestly can’t decide whether AOL or GeoCities is worse...

WHERE IS THE HOME PAGE IT TOOK MONTHS FOR ME TO BILL. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY NOTICE VIA THE MAIL OR E-MAIL.

PLEASE HELP ME FIND MY WEB PAGE SO I CAN COPY IT AND MOVE IT SOME WHERE ELSE.

I SUGGEST YOU PUT THE HOME PAGE BACK OR YOU WILL LOOSE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS.

I WILL SEE TO THAT.

Gotta love the threats.  I’m sure they don’t want to "loose" any customers.

It like stealing our hearts and souls without our knowledge...I WANT MY WEBPAGE INFO BACK I never gave you permission to destroy it..we should all file one big lawsuit against you for this. ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP..EMAIL US ALL

This is very frustrating and angishly wrong for AOL not to at least had the decency to emailed their hometown members of this closing of "hometown.aol.com.html" so we could have been MORE AWARE of this closing. If anyone starts a liable law suit on AOL for this outrage action, please put my name down as a victim of this hanious action

PLEASE PROVIDE ME ACCESS TO MY HOMETOWN WEB PAGE.

IF I CAN GET IT I MIGHT STAY A CUSTOMER. IF NOT ME AND MY FRIENDS ARE AS GOOD AS GONE.

Where is my homey page?
