The AOL boards were the Wild West, with a lot of know-it-alls, who were decidedly lacking in factual knowledge, but making up for it in sheer bluster. When the Forum started, a lot of AOLers migrated, but didn’t realize there was a Sheriff, who was big on law and order. Oops! See ya!
Quick AOL story - one of the regulars was a rodeo cowboy, who was drinking, and playing with his trains, the night before he was flying to compete on the rodeo circuit. He drank enough to fall asleep, and crawled off to bed. Flew out the next morning, and when he returned home 2 WEEKS later, he found his trains still running!
