Strange nostalgic memories of "AOHell" and "LuciferX" come to mind... If I remember, a lot of them were visual basic apps that would use SendKeys() to control AOL via keyboard shortcuts. A little like the wild west back then...

Anyone recall the "SubZer0" proggie? (and who else recalls calling apps "proggies" in our kitchy chat rooms?)
I remember Sub-7 and its modules, including those that forced the user to play (and win) a game of tic-tac-toe, could melt the screen, flip the screen upside down and misc destructive things.
I recall a few, FaTe, AoLazy, and others being shared in island55. Also memories of Master AOL & Internal/Overhead accounts that allowed infinite scrolling in chat.
