I do still miss the separate messenger programs like that & icq. Everyone moved to Facebook and I'm just meh to that whole thing.

90s social media (Usenet and AIM) > 21st century social media.

I was there BEFORE AIM.
AOL CHATROOMS. I was doing it when it was still a stigma and everyone of us was living in our moms basement.
Can’t lie, I landed a lot of arse back then too. I can’t imagine how I would have done if I had the tools everyone has today.

Meh, people use social media today for photographic documentation of their Keeping Up With The Joneses lifestyle and other sick, deviant behavior.
The internet was better in the 90s when it was used for anonymous hook-ups.

You had to have hellacious game back in the day because only weirdos tried to meet people from the internet in those days.

They weren’t all 10s. 2 5’s. Never a 10
2-3 OT 6’s though. Not my problem they had social issues like myself back then. But being honest, it did help me break out of an awkward shell at the time coming right out of high school.

That was a myth promulgated by web users in those days to discourage normies from getting in on the action.

Total game changer for fantasy football. We’d totally trash people when things would go south for them during Monday night fb

The old AOL chat rooms were a total younger gen-X hook up scheme. Find a local chat room, see that “Brandy31254” was in the room, and confirm with the good ‘ol a/s/l post!
