BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 25, 2007 BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 25, 2007 To all AOL subscribers - I have just been informed that BassResource.com has been blacklisted for "spam complaints" by people who subscribed to our newsletter (apparently they don't know what the "unsubscribe" link is for). This, despite being officially whitelisted by AOL, effectively giving permission to send AOL subscribers our newsletter. I have contacted AOL, and they will do absolutely nothing to remove the block. So, any AOL subscriber who purchases an e-book will NOT recieve their merchandise, since I cannot contact them. Nor can I answer any e-mails from you, nor can I contact any of our current advertisers who have AOL accounts. If you are an AOL subscriber, I encourage you to complain to them and demand that they remove the block on IP 66.242.29.35 immediately! Let them know you are not happy they are arbitrarily blocking YOUR e-mail that YOU WANT! Glenn Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 AOL is not about American freedom the first amendment specifically.And then when you call um for a tech prob u get abdul allah in India or some place that cant speak English.I did away with AOL long ago Quote
RecMar8541 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I had a website long time ago that sold outdoor goods. It also went on a list although I am positive I never sent one single piece of spam. I also was unable to talk them into removing the block. They also add tons of uneeded software to your computer, which generally can slow it down quite a bit, if you dont know what to remove. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 25, 2007 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 25, 2007 Yes, you're right! I did talk to somebody over in India, who only kept repeating herself over and over again. Absolutely no help whatsoever! > Quote
Super User Catt Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 Huh blacklisted for "spam complaints" : AOL is the worlds worst for having spams & pop-ups > Quote

Siebert Outdoors Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Yeah AOL sucks. When I got my new computer I wanted earthlink on it because I new I would never be able to get AOL crap off it. Guess what. I got aol crap on it. Talk about a virus and monster spammer. Maybe they should blacklist themselves! Its horrible. Service there sucks too. Commie bastages. I've got DSL now through ATT. Couldnt be happier. I did learn something though How do I subscribe to your news letter? Please pm me. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 AOL is so easy even a computer greenhorn can hack it in less then 5 mins Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 Who in there right mind would send a complaint against BassResource.com?! Probaly some anti-fishing group or something. > Quote
Super User Root beer Posted May 25, 2007 Super User Posted May 25, 2007 Why dont you just get a new internet provider? AOL sucks anyway. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted May 26, 2007 Super User Posted May 26, 2007 Well, Duh! On my part. I thought the American public would have whizzed up about AOL by now and would have chosen anything but. I guess if someone is still forced to use a dial-up connection, AOL will still survive. Quote
Super User Hookemdown. Posted May 26, 2007 Super User Posted May 26, 2007 Problem solved. That'll teach em. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 AOHell is little better than two cans and a string. Not if the cans are full of Heineken Quote
skillet Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 We got AOL when first got a computer and didn't know a whole lot about them (my wife does now, I don't :-[). Fixin' to get a new Dell and wish we could come up with a new provider that didn't cost an arm and a leg. We live out on the backside of nowhere and don't get cable (still have small hometown phone co.) or anything. Get Monday's radio programs on Tuesday ! It would have to be some kind of DSL and they are pretty expensive from what we've found ... As Ever, skillet Quote
Guest avid Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 AOL really had the ISP market cornered for a long time. Thank God they keep losing market share. They need a huge dose of humility. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 27, 2007 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 27, 2007 Just to clarify, I don't have nor use AOL. Never did. AOL has blocked our e-mails to AOL subscribers. To sign up for our newsletter, click the link in my signature below. Thanks! Glenn Quote

There are other ISP's out there. I wouldn't use AOL if they were the only thing available. Quote
bassboy1 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 We had it when we first got our computer. (in 2000. We were the last to get one) We kept it for a few years after that. We HATED it. Then, we got joi internet, and loved it, aside from being dialup. But, that was all we had, and didn't really know there was better. Well, then joi was sold to earthlink, and we hated them. So we went with adelphia high speed cable internet. Loved it. Learned how important that really was. faster, doesn't tie up phone lines. Learned what we had missed. Recently adelphia was sold to comcast (at least down here it was) and we don't hate comcast, but it ain't completely foolproof/reliable. It has its blips a good bit. At first they were fairly common, due to the software changing, just now, it will not load, or not connect to internet, even though everything is plugged in and reads full output. Quote
