Talk:AOHell

message: I've modified the Competitors section to remove some of the self promotion people were putting in about their progs. I decided to only name two progs by name - Fate X and HaVoK - since they are generally considered to be the next most relevant. However, if people don't agree, we can remove the naming of even them. We should try to keep this article focused on AOHell as much as possible. As to back up my statement about over 1000 progs being developed, lenshellarchive.com has archived more than that many.

message: Did AOHell come with Master.AOL? There was a list of invoke codes that detailed what each code did  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.237.109.194 (talk) 22:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, master AOL was a tool for people that worked at AOL. I ended putting out the program with master aol that would scan invokes and record them with titles when found. It had nothing to do with AO-Hell. I made many other pieces of software for AOL like this, but I agree with what the guy says above. AO-Hell, Havok and Fate-x are the most important. If you mention others, the article would NEVER end.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.160.140.251 (talk) 07:37, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Looks like this article: http://www.tftb.com/aohell.html was originally in print of some kind.  Anyone know where it was?  Might be a decent non-web cite.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.250.24.195 (talk) 18:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Another Possible Print cite?

message: Programs like this were abundant back in the day. They were known as "progz", a more specific name than the term used in the article, which just calls AOHell a "cracking tool" and links to an article about hacking. I feel like there should be a more general article or a category dedicated to these particular programs, since they were quite popular. Toad was a well-known prog; ColdFusion is another of the many I tried out, though I don't remember them all.
Many offered (and were primarily used for) their less malicious features, like allowing users to add colors to their AOL profiles. They were pretty cool at the time, but with the way technology and AOL have developed since then, they've become obsolete in a kind of interesting way. I know I used lots of them as a kid, and as an adult I'd like to know more about them, how they worked, how AOL responded to them, similar programs that have been created for the current state of things on the internet. 173.26.226.151 (talk) 00:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you, I am very familiar with that era, the tools and how they were made. The problem is I cannot find any real good sources. There are some sites, like above, that list them and have some downloads but not too many reliable sources. If you can find any and a suitable name for an article can be created, i'd be happy to do it. The "Progz" were probably on other systems as well. A few I can think of now is of course Fate, HaVoK, Aoassasins, AoBliss, Exorcist, Method 1 scroller, and Hellraiser. I keep a look out.--NortyNort  (Holla) 10:29, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
