We think we now know the cause of Crims spamming the login box, and this is from *HmS* J our AOL guru.
It is the widley know AOL syndrome called "omg your not with aol are you!" and even wose "what your using aol's own browser!"
Aparently if you use aol's own browser to surf, you get this mutant behaviour and start having clones of yourself on websites all over the world, we think this is a plot by aol to slow the internet down to there own speeds so they can keep up with everyone else! (43) (54) (19)
For those people who live in the big places with lots of people and tall buildings, i think they call them "citys" never heard of them myself, but you can find allot of them in a far off land called "england" (never heard of this place either) in some parts of this far off land bulldog offer good internet deals if your in the right area.
City, I've heard of this too, but my friend Tubbs says they dont have 'The Precious' things there, and like her, I live on Windy waste land thousands of miles from LONDON. Hence, only aol are able to offer the 'Local People' here internet service's.

have been playing with AOL and Hardmaps today to try and geta better explanation of the phenomenon. My findings are thus, for each link clickedon Hardmaps using AOL an extra HMS.J added in online members. When all web pages closed, HMS.J multiple members remain on Hardmaps online members. This must mean that the cookies are renewed and stored in separate locations for every link and that they remain active even after page closure. It requires AOL to be shut down and restarted to remove the multiple logons. I will contact AOL's so-called Helpdesk and see if they can give an official wording on this.

OK, AOL have said this random but close comment after half an hour of them just saying Cookie Cookie Cookie: "If you are using floating licenses, it is important that you click the Logoff icon to end your session when you are done. Simply exiting your browser will not end your session and may allow other users to be able to access. If you do forget to click the Logoff icon, simply login in again, answer Yes when asked to delete your old session, and then click the Logoff icon on the Home page when it is displayed." So I think that basicaly Floating Licenses exist within Cookies and AOL, unlike Internet Explorer, keeps each licence obtained every time a link is used. Well there we have it, it boils down to mutants! Yes mutating activity within Floating Licenses within Cookies within AOL....bla bla bla
