5. My question is like those above. Is there anyway still to retrieve my hournals and homepages? I tried before the deadline but nothing happened. These are my memories. Things I wanted to remember about my kids. And when I tried to access them before the deadline I was unable to. Otherwise I would have printed it all out. Please help.

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

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

17. What happened to my web page on my husband, Bob Champine, that took me many years to put together on his career and which meant a lot to me and to the aviation community. I noticed with 9.0 I lost the left margin and the picture of him exiting the X-1. I need to restore it to the internet as it is history. Please tell me what to do. I will be glad to retype it, I just don't want it lost to the world.

I need help.

18. Yes, after 17 years I can finally say AOL sucks! Wow, charging me 14.95 a month for who knows how long when the price plan did not even exist!
Good bye AOL you will not survive with such poor business decisions!

19. Well I am also so surprised to see all our work is gone, why didn't they notify everyone on the update through email I never even knew this was going to happen to even get a chance to save my webpage..Also is anyone getting any answers as to where or how we can get our work back..there has to be a way and something saved on there end. AOL not for nothing this was an awful decision to make and you have hurt many people who cherish there pictures, there life stories and just plain old happiness...It like stealing our hearts and souls without our knowledge...I WANT MY WEBPAGE INFO BACK I never gave you permission to destroy it..we should all file one big lawsuit against you for this. ANY LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP..EMAIL US ALL for one class action..or we get a second chance to get our work back.

Thanks for listening

20. This is very 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 MORE AWARE of this closing. If anyone starts a liable law suit on AOL for this outrage action, please put my name down as a victim of this hanious action taking AOL members. Faye Nall efnall@aol.com
