OnthelineOnTheLine was the sucessor of AOL Keyword: PlugIn, an internet based (but only on America Online) location for teenagers to communicate. Orignally a service provided on America Online, the community grew and moved away from America Online into it's own portal service for teens, serviced by a staff of 20 teen volunteers. OnTheLine was owned by OpenVoice.org, though the domain was re-registered after the falling of OpenVoice, and relates to pornography now. center About (Collected from cache at http://web.archive.org/web/20001008115558/www.openvoice.org/stuff1.html) On November 1, 1998, OpenVoice launched OnTheLine on AOL. In June 2000 we launched OnTheLine on the web! OnTheLine is one of the largest original teen content sites on the Internet, receiving over 2 million impressions a month. The new site was designed to offer increased opportunities for user interaction and has given OpenVoice teens the opportunity to become producers rather than just content writers. With brand new content areas and a staff that includes teen volunteers from across the country, OnTheLine is the model of community-created/community-managed content. Content areas include Take A Stand, The Buzz, Bad Advice, Diaries and the Big Q. Of course, we also host chat. Veteran OpenVoice staffer Cynthia Dwyer says of the OnTheLine site, "I feel like we (the local staff) have a different kind of control now. We get to run things behind the scenes more, not just produce content and have other people put it up. It's not so much about us anymore. It's us putting outher people's stuff up and deciding what's good enough." Current OnTheLine disappeared from the Internet sometime in 2002. The tradition is continued on in the website http://www.ontheline2.com started by a former member.
