For security reasons, AOL Dialup users are blocked from Chat as of 11/03/07

It is unfortunate but because the IP# structure used by AOL makes it easy for determined Trolls, (pornographers, troublemakers & very nasty people), to bypass banning I am once again forced to completely block AOL dialup users. This block may also effect AOL Broadband users overseas.

This will ONLY effect the Chat Room. It will have NO effect on the Message Board or any other part of Petloss.com.

This is a difficult decision but after having the Grief Support Room users continually attacked by heartless people I am forced to take this action to protect hurting hearts in the room from further harm.

If your AOL assigned IP# begins with 172., you are in the category that is blocked from the Chat.

Here is how you can check your assigned IP#
Go to this website:

and click on the "Return IP address" button.
Your IP# will then be displayed.

If you are currently on AOL and wish to continue using the Chat Room, here are some links to help you find a free or low-cost alternative to AOL dialup.
