Methodus Toolz
- WD-42 3y agoI remember downloading this on my friends computer that had AOL at the time and trolling chat rooms. I'm pretty sure it did other nefarious stuff as well, such as being able to boot people offline from chat rooms. Good times.

- grubbs 3y agoMe either! I had no idea. Just thought about Methodus in the shower this morning and decided to Google...
- jrflowers 3y agoAOL progz were awesome. I vaguely remember booting people by pasting something like C:/<CON>/<CON> into chats. Good times

- badcarbine 3y agoI used several AIM/AOL progz back in the day, but never heard of methodus toolz. Man, that’s a lot of features. They were really going for the all-in-one experience. Wonder where they are now…
- euroderf 3y agoThey probably used the code base for that really big Chinese app that does absolutely everything. (The name escapes me.)
