1. Maybe the server is busy?

:shrug:

[JohnKleeb]

2. hey RR

I may have a different sn, I will tell you via pm what it is if so be the case. The server? what do you mean?

[Padraig18]

3. It's an automatic program

it prevents someone from hammering in to your account using randomly-generated passwords

[JohnKleeb]

4. Why cant I sign on though

Sigh my stupid brother knew my password because he has looked at my private password database.

[JohnKleeb]

5. kick

sigh help
I cant sign on still despite reinstalling the program.

[Padraig18]

6. Did he CHANGE your PW?

Beat the PW out of him, if you have to; that is just an EVIL thing to do...

[JohnKleeb]

8. no he didnt

[Alexander]

7. I had that problem today, too

The more you try to log on, the longer the delay becomes. Leave it alone for an hour or two and come back to it then.

[JohnKleeb]

9. ok Ive been clicking on it a lot yeah I should best ignore it

So maybe I best sign back on at like 10?

[JohnKleeb]

10. kick of good hope

[YellowRubberDuckie]

11. Isn't it about time we did something about this brother of yours?

Change your passwords and completely sign out every time you finish using the computer...oh, yeah, and I'm advocating violence. LOL

12. AOL may be like EverQuest...

When you get dumped for any reason (disconnect, network error, etc.) it needs time to "figure out" that you are actually no longer online.

The more you hammer at it trying to log back in, the longer it takes to actually reset.

Give it some time....10 minutes or more and let it recycle itself.

[JohnKleeb]

13. maybe thanks

and I am back :) on.

[XanaDUer]

14. Siblings...

ya gotta love them.

[JohnKleeb]

15. not this one

:argh: I am lucky, I had a friend cool me off, and I didnt hit him. My youngest brother is cool, we could use him to ask Tucker Carlson to eat his shoes, no you eat my shoe lol, oy its the cutest thing.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. Do you have two younger brothers, John?

Count your blessings, mine is a bully and a Freeper. And remember, you still have a sister! LOL!:D

[JohnKleeb]

17. heh

Oh yeah my sis. :hi: sis
Yes two younger brothers.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. I'll trade you your two for my one

On second thought, how about if I trade him for you? How would your parents feel about having a passive-aggressive, unemployed Freeper in the house?! LOL!:D
