Myar,
The rumor you hear is probably true. AOL has been widely known to be ANTI-GUN. They even fired a few people for having firearms in there cars, legally. Take it for what its worth, I plan on dropping AOL as soon as I can afford cable. -Jared |

Private Joker, don't wait for cable. I dropped AOL (and told them why:their anti gun attitude). Get Earthlink. I did. Love it. They did fire 3 employees in Utah for having hunting rifles in their trunk in a SHARED parking lot, not their property. They are being sued by the 3 employees.

My site is still there [url]http://members.aol.com/bishop042/guns.html[/url]
What AOL most probably did was to remove all sites that were trying to sell guns. You can't sell anything on their FREE web space. I have seen posts like this pop up every once in a while for over a year now and my site, which has been here for almost 2 years, has never had a problem, and I have never had any e-mail from AOL about my site...

I use AOL now but only because my new computer came with a free year of unlimited use. As soon as the year is up, I'm gone. The service SUCKS, as does the browser & everything that comes with it. It is so stupid you have to cut & paste on 6.0 just to put something in your favorites!

Since cars kill and maim many more folks than guns do, I don't suppose Antigunners On-Line will be pulling the plug on automobile sales sites next......

Hey AOL users.
I am on my brothers computer right now (AOL), and for some reason I can't pull up keepandbeararms.com, or shooters.com- Is this an AOL thing?- Somebody please try it, and tell me if it's just me, or AOL. |

Well.....I was on AOL for better than 2 years and had a pretty big web site (I maxed out my available server space). My web site was gun oriented, heck, my screen name was Pro Gun Guy! I had a links page set up up with a bunch of firearms links. I had a boatload of hunting & shooting pictures there. Not one time did I ever experience any problems with AOL over my web site. I also had no problems accessing any firearms related sites. AOL may be anti gun but I think a lot of AOLs reputation may be over stated. I am now using MSN (got a cheap computer) but I cant say that I miss AOL.

The rumour as i've heard it is that AOL blocks all "violent" web pages under it's kid-proofing bit -- that is, it censors out pornography, "howtobuildamolotovcocktail.com," "killyourteachers.com," etc. Apparently it's largely done by an automated script/bot, which has a nasty side effect of banning a lot of firearms-related sites because it thinks they're "violent."
At least, from what I hear. If that's the case, then I'm sure AOL isn't exactly moving out the Rapid Response Rangers to fix the problem. |

I have AOL but minimize it and then click on internet explorer. You are still connected and still can use AR.com

I will never go to the 6.0 verson. I saw it once and thought that it was the MOST stupid thing that I have ever seen.
I also have gun links on my site (which have to be updated now) I even maxed out my free space so I created other names just so I could have more space, which some of my other pages go to... I want to get a new ISP but a free one, but I hate to lose my web site. BISHOP |
