RE: Complaint about pogo games

Sir: Aol games are getting outrageously inefficient except, of course, the advertising screens. I have just spent an hour and a half trying to get into a game. Finally, after half an hour I was able to get on a cribbage game and

then within 5 minutes my game froze up.

I've tried to get in word whomp, cribbage and dominoes and nothing wants to get past the advertising window. It's very frustrating and a big waste of time. Pogo games aren't worth fooling with. Tell AOL to find someone else to run their games. If they have over 100,000 playing at one time they need to do some investigating to make them more efficient.

The heading over the Word Whomp game is constantly impacting the ability to play. There are several ads that work better than the game itself, the Blockbuster ad for instance. Since Word Whomp is a game of speed as well as word skill, this shouldn't occur.

Very annoying.
