No More Aol Cds

Early this year, AOL had almost stopped sending cds to every address / residence in the world.

We all know here on aqua-soft.org that AOL sucks, and has major problems. They also like to think they are the only internet service provider in the world. Also that they have our premition to pile up our mail boxes and trash cans with their useless , unwanted , crapy software, on cds that we could have used for something else.

If they want to give away cds, why not just send us a blank CD every week?

Today I went to get my mail, and It stepped up from 2 or 3 CDs a week, to having two cds in the mail box today. one for dialup and another one for high speed. What really pissed me off is a music cd i ordered wouldn't fit in the mail box with the AOL cds already in there, so they left a note to go pick it up, if aol wasn't sending me bull**** i didn't want in the first place, I wouldn't have had to waste gass to go pick up something i did want.

Well i found this site a long time ago, www.nomoreaolcds.com

please visit and support them at their goals of dumping over 1million AOL cds on the frount lawn of AOLs coporate head quaters, just send in and collect every AOL cd you can get your hands on. the sooner we get there, the sooner we can watch aol's corporate head's expression when we dump them. It's almost sure to be news coverage world wide, and make some point in history!

You know aol usually sends cds to people who tried the trail and people who used to be or still are subscribers lol. I havn't got one since I moved. THANK GAWD.

But we do get them at blockbusters

#203172

yes i believe that may be true.. I rent, so some one before me must have used it.

But my grandparents have never even had a computer, and built their house when they were young. They get the same thing,.

the apartments i live in has a junk mail can right near the boxes, just about every week it's full of AOL Cds. ill take a picture next week and show ya... it's pretty sad...

I started mailing CDs back to them (didn't know about that (awesome) website) and they evidently took us off the list. Hey, it works.

It is really ****ty because loads of people throw them straight into the trash immediatly contributing to the amount of plastic (which will NEVER [i really mean never. It may be faded a bit 1 trillion years in the future but it will still be intact, unless it gets melted by lava or something]break down unless exposed to UV light for hundreds of years, but most plastic gets quickly buried)

Also, it is a huge waste of resources. Dumping the cds on their lawn wouldnt really do much, except get them all thrown away. It might make the guys get the picture though...

EDIT

One of my past hobbies was taking huge amounts of AOL cds from the bins in stores. I got a whole bunch of friends together and we each took 5. Pretty soon, it was empty and the cops were after us! Maybe I should submit all those to that site.

I collect the AOL CDs. I have lots and lots of them, all different. My most prized ones are the three Lord of the Rings promo ones! I have them blu-tacked to a section on my ceiling.

indeed they do. i only got one, never used aol. oh and your mailbox must be small or never emptied if your "cd" couldn't fit in the mailbox. i would suggest moving. hehe

I like the DVD boxes as well. I usually spray paint the ones that have a lot of AOL junk printed on them and use them as specialty CD cases.

i had this idea one time. they have the damn aol cds at walmart and i was going to take one and scan the cover of the cd and print it on a new cd with viruses and crap and then put it back in the store.

Ooh, make it talk and cancel all shut down attempts, make noises from the internal speaker so they can't stop it when they turn off the speakers, but make it end after a few days :-) Sorry, I am in a bad mood :-(

Doesn't that mean that you go to sleep looking at AOL every night? I couldn't stand that...

// Cringes

Well the AOL CDs I get I recycle the cardboard sleeves and I use the discs (face down so I don't have to look at the upside) as beermats... really useful, AOL have saved so many stains on my coffee table...

Man that would be annoying... I think I would just end up ripping the power cable out of mine...
