We're sorry to inform you that as of Oct. 31, 2008, AOL® Hometown was shut down permanently. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
5. My question is like those above. Is there anyway still to retrieve my hournals and homepages? I tried before the point but nothing happened. These are my memories. Things I wanted to remember simply about my kids. And once
I tried to access them before the point I was unable to. Otherwise I would-be have written
it all out. Please help.
15. Wherever
is my homelike page? I worked actually hard on that page,and had lots of vistors tell me how good it was,I had lots of help also,now its all gone,guess I can give thanks a foreign person that bought AOL out? Well, wake up and smell the roses,I wish get another way to play on the Computer network soon,My dear AOL people.
16. You cant put thing
on this crazy thing either,because they support causing the activation codes and then I click and move to nothing the same page over and over, great gag Aol you do me so sick.
17. What happened to my web page on my husband, Bob Champine, that took me galore years to put together on his career and which meant a lot to me and to the aviation community. I detected
with 9.0 I lost the left margin and the image of him exiting the X-1. I need to restore it to the computer network as it is history. Please tell me what to do. I wish be glad to retype it, I simply don't want it lost to the world.
I need help.

19. Well I am besides so amazed to see all our activity is gone, why didn't they advise everyone on the update through email I ne'er
even as knew this was going to happen to even as get a chance to save my webpage..Also is anyone acquiring any answers as to wherever
or how we can get our activity back..there has to be a way and thing
saved on there end. AOL not for nothing this was an awful decision to do and you have hurt galore folk who care for there pictures, there life stories and simply plain old happiness...It like stealing our hearts and souls without our knowledge...I WANT MY WEBPAGE Information BACK I ne'er
gave you permission to destroy it..we should all file one big suit against you for this. ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP..EMAIL US ALL for one class s..or we get a second chance to get our activity back.
20. This is really 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 Much AWARE of this closing. If anyone starts a liable law suit on AOL for this outrage s, please put my name down as a victim of this hanious s taking AOL members. Faye Nall efnall@aol.com

6. WHAT A SHAMBLES & A POOR SHOW. NO ONE WANTS TO Cognize EITHER. Fortuitously I SAVED MY WEBPAGE & TRANSFERRED IT TO GEOCITIES.

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