Please be aware that Ravenwood's Universe is still banned by AOL. Basically, any email sent from ravnwood.com to an AOL.com email address is automatically rejected. That's probably nothing new for AOL subscribers, since AOL blocks about 80% of all inbound email. But we're sick of getting snide emails from AOL saying that our email has been blocked because we're spammers.

We have tried adding ravnwood.com to the AOL whitelist, but AOL has denied our request. We will continue to try to work with them, but as of right now the giant beast is not cooperating. Their attitude is basically "too bad, we're AOL, what are you going to do about it?"

We've considered retaliating by blocking all AOL IPs from viewing Ravenwood's Universe. While I'm sure that they would get a flood of complaints from users trying to reach our site (both of them), it seems both petty and futile.

For now, we'll keep trying. But if you're email ends in aol.com and you haven't heard from us, now you know why.
