AOL Policy
For those of you unfamiliar with how AOL decides when to log off a
customer's account, the following rules apply. America Online has adopted
some new policies. Here are some of their new reminder messages which pop up
frequently--depending on your level of use. |
1. You have been online for
46 minutes. Do you want to stay online? Please
respond within 10 minutes or you will be logged off. |
2. You have been online for
92 minutes? Do you still want to stay online?
Please respond within 10 minutes or you will be logged off. |
3. You have been online for
135 minutes? Not to put any pressure on you,
but there are other people in the world who would like to sign on. |
4. You DO realize that you
have been online for 184 minutes, right? When
was the last time that you were outside? |
5. This is getting
ridiculous! You have been online for 240 minutes.
Frankly, you are beginning to annoy us. If you sign off now, we will
bring
back your buddy list, okay? |
6. You have now been online
for 360 minutes. We promised you unlimited
time, we know; but can't you just finish up now and go read a good
book? |
7. You have been online for
467 minutes. Do you remember your family
members' names? |
8. You have been online for
513 minutes. Your spouse has left you and your
dog is starving. Do you wish to remain online? |
9. You have been online for
724 minutes. Steve Case is coming over to
personally confront you. |
10. You have been online for
852 minutes. Do you have ANY idea how many
HOURS that is? |
11. You have been online for
921 minutes. Do you realize that America
Online averages 921 complaints per hour regarding busy
phone lines. That is
because of YOU.! Now, log off and go to bed!! |
12. You have been online for
1000 minutes. When AOL went unlimited, we
didn't think you would take us literally. Now, hang up!!!!! |
13. You have been online
since yesterday. If you don't log off, we are
coming over to your house and pulling your
whole phone out of the wall!! Thank
you for being an AOL member. We appreciate your
business. |
| 14. You have been idle for
awhile. Do you wish to remain online? |
