WTF is up with Hotmail??

[Lathum]

anyone else having issues?

I try and sign in and it has all my contacts, etcc... but I can't find my inbox

[Izulde]

Seriously who uses hotmail in this Gmail age?

[cthomer5000]

hotmail gives me 90s flashbacks.

I think i'll go do some hotbot searches.

[Peregrine]

Hotmail? Is that some kind of weird Gmail variant, but extra hot?

[Lathum]

thanks, very helpful

[PurdueBrad]

[johnnyshaka]

Hotmail is working fine for me and has been all day.

[SackAttack]

Having the same problem here. Hotmail is the address I use for basically any online orders I place, to avoid getting spam in my REAL in-boxes.

And, uh...poof?

[Travis]

I primarily use gmail but just checked my old hotmail account that I still have some info stored in and yeah, no inbox apparently. Hopefully they get that fixed.

[Lathum]

well it's weird.

I sign in, and get a screne telling me I don't have an account.

[Lathum]

exactly.

Tried my wifes account and the same thing happened

[SackAttack]

Hopefully they get that fixed.

Yeah. Until they do, I'm SOL if I forget a password on certain website accounts.

[Travis]

Okay, hang on guys, I'm gonna go reset the internet, should just take a minute.

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'm gonna go check my hotmail & play some Football Pro!

[stevew]

I guess i hadn't logged in in over a year and the last time I checked, i had no mail left.

[stevew]

dola

The last time I used hotmail with any type of frequency, it was not yet confirmed that Lance Bass was gay.

[Pumpy Tudors]

YOU GUYS ARE TOTAL ASSHOLE

[Lathum]

it's working again

[Lorena]

YOU GUYS ARE TOTAL ASSHOLE

Stop causing problems asswhite!

[Lathum]

Seriously who uses hotmail in this Gmail age?

people who actually have sex with a woman?

[stevew]

Altavista is broken too.

[Pumpy Tudors]

people who actually have sex with a woman?
holy shit

[DeToxRox]

holy shit

Oh man I am going to put this quote on my Geocities page.

[KWhit]

I don't think Hotmail is compatible with Netscape Navigator.

[DaddyTorgo]

LMAO

[cthomer5000]

Have you guys seen this brand new thing? it's hilarious!!!

[DaddyTorgo]

If people are still using hotmail then i'm going to put my Hotline server back up!!!

Mannn...those were the days.

[Lorena]

If you need to re-install AOL, I have a few 5.25 floppy disks you can use.

[Alan T]

You all crack me up. I was going to make a comment about gopher not working correctly for me either, but at this point in this thread, I think we all get the idea :)

Seriously though, I still have a hotmail account. I never check it, but my hotmail account and my yahoo account get used for virtually anything that I sign up for on the internet or anything that has my email address publicaly.

My nice, spam-free gmail inbox doesn't need the attention that those accounts get.

[DeToxRox]

Lathum's LiveJournal will not be kind to us today.

[DaddyTorgo]

Lathum has a LJ? Shit...I have a LJ account still, but I haven't updated it in like...8 years?

I guess this is what happens when you skip to post 30, and don't read anything else before it.

I am totally going to write a burn as soon as I finish installing WP so I can run spellcheck.

AOL is where it's at. Check out Keyword: WWW.

[cthomer5000]

I wonder if Lathum is awaiting an email from Doogie Howser, M.D.

[Lorena]

[Ksyrup]

You guys leave Lathum alone. He's just trying to preserve as much as he can from the last time the Mets won an NL pennant.

[jeheinz72]

This thread delivers.

[DeToxRox]

Hey Lathum, let me know how you liked the series finale of Seinfeld.

[Lathum]

shrug?

I use email to communicate with people, hotmail works just fine for me. To be honest with you I have no idea what half the references you are using are. I am fine, have a little fun with it.

I am sure everything you all use is 100% brand new and state of the art. The what car do you drive thread obviously proves that. Some people like to stick with what works for them and suits there purposes. Hotmail is just fine for me, but hey, by all means enjoy your tech geek jokes at my expense.

sounds about correct :)

I dunno, gonna watch it after I watch the finales of MASH and Cheers

[PackerFanatic]

This thread = epic win. Definitely made my day.

[Subby]

People would probably take you more seriously if you fully committed and got a Hotmail tat on your thigh.

[DeToxRox]

Remember to adjust the tracking.

If your trying to bait me it's not going to work. After your last insults about my tattoo's I have no desire to engage in any conversations with you.

[spleen1015]

I think he wants to lick your thigh, as much as he likes to talk about it.

[Kodos]

FWIW, I use hotmail as my spam account as well. Whenever I sign up for something, I use that address. Keeps my other e-mail nice and spam-free.

[stevew]

I really want to play this new Star Wars Dark Forces game, but it is to expensive to upgrade to 8 megs of RAM

You're the one with a tatoo of two friendship bracelets on your body. Don't get pissy at me.

Seriously though if you get a Hotmail tatoo you should ensconce it in flames and dragon wings.

[Pumpy Tudors]

btw we are talking shit about all of yall on fidonet right now

[Lathum]

You're the one with a tatoo of two friendship bracelets on your body. Don't get pissy at me.



funny how last time you chose to insult me about my tattoo's you were very sorry and posted this.

I apologize. I was just fucking around with you on the first one (I had no idea what that tatoo represented). The second post was just mean-spirited.

I enjoy fucking with you and a few other people on here, but I obviously went too far.

Again, please accept my apology.


Now after I tell you I want nothing to do with you the apology rings hollow, which is why I didn't accept it in the first time. You are like a child who realizes their antics aren't getting enough attention so you need to try and go back to older antics that weren't funny then and aren't funny now.

I reacted emotionally last time but will not again because I realize the kind of person you are. At least the kind of person you are here.

I am sure in your real life you are a nice person, good father and husband, etc... You probably teach your children to act the opposite of the way you act here.

It's sad that you have to turn into such a hypocrite with your on line persona.

[Izulde]

I should put a flaming dragon on my Angelfire page, cuz that would be k00l.

[johnnyshaka]

I've been using the same hotmail account for 10 years...why change it now?

[JonInMiddleGA]

FWIW, I still run across the occasional hotmail account people use for business.
Oddly enough I see more of those than I see of, say, gmail actually.

And my primary backup email account (i.e. the spam repository as well as one to use when my main account has an odd conflict with an attachment or something) is an old mailcity account, which doesn't technically exist anymore after they were absorbed by Lycos.

winner.

this thread is why i love this place so much

i don't think most of this is mean-spirited btw...i think a lot of it is more nostalgic-geek

Gmail does an unbelievable job of keeping spam out of your inbox - I might have to move 2 or 3 a week to the spam folder - and the spam folder probably gets 50 spam emails per day that I never have to look at...

[cthomer5000]

Ok, i've been offline for a while because my mom needed the phone guys. What did I miss?

This is the true winner.


I switched long ago to using my own domain for email. It is currently hosted by gmail, but it goes to my domain. This makes it much easier to switch between mail clients without having to tell people you changed emails.
