Coming home from school & waiting 10 min to boot that 5400rpm HD you cucked with morpheus viruses

All the Stacey cheerleaders would come online & you'd end up on a three-way phone call with them so you could schedule where to "hang out"




Sloots have always been sloots but at least they didn't think they were better than Brad Pitt back then like they do today

[onelifterguy]

pop in my AOL free trial internet disk, then cancel before trial period, await next one in the mail

one time forgot to cancel, got charged $14.99 for the month or something, had to call them and cancel, that was a pain.

was too young for AOL and just missed it but you can bet you ass I was on MSN.

[JayJ350]

I made a thread about this a few days ago. SRS, compared to today we had no clue how good we had it back in that era.

[sfgiants13]

A/S/L op?

Used to troll people in chat rooms and give them some alt aim account of mine. Was hilarious and also creepy as hell when I told them I was a 13 year old female. My chat would get blown up.

[ShakeBrah]

I had all 3 goat messengers. MSN for the girls, AIM for the gamer friends, Yahoo for the fukin hilarious chat rooms.

GOAT internet says.

mIRC was fukin weird. Too nerdy for me, and I work in IT lol. I mostly used it for some gaming stuff.

[HtotheOV]

MySpace

brb didn’t make friends top 10 list

[nickh04]

fuarrrk. I remember coming home from school and asking my mom if I can go to a chat room (dat dere parental controls). Had so much fun just chatting with randoms from all over the world. Learn a few words there. There was even a role playing chat where people would say shyt like *leans over to give you a kiss*. fkn had a legit cyber sex experience when I was like 8 u mirin?

Remember when you had to download music off LimeWire, then you had to use the ****ty recording option on the new Nokia phone to record the song. Then you'd go around showing all your friends that you have 50 Cen'ts P.I.M.P as an .mp3 with awful sound quality

Ah limewire. The good old days of giving your computer aids for some music and games. I lost count of how many times we had to wipe our computer because I ****ed it up beyond repair with whatever virus I got. Spent a lot of time playing the random tycoon games from there too.

Ah, yeah. I remember downloading King Kong 2005 then got some porn of a guy smashing 2 chicks by a pool on a sunny day, LMAO. Freaked out a bit since I was a kid

Also used KaZma and Bearshare

I still remember sometime in 1997 my best friend telling me I HAD to download this new program called AIM. By the 1998 school year it had spread like wildfire and I can't think of a single person in my class that didn't have it. 8pm on a school night everyone was either online or idle with an away message.

It's popularity started to dip in the early 2000's when MSN and Yahoo came out with their own messengers, but for a few magic years it's hard to describe how fresh the AIM experience was. We went from calling friends with a landline to chatting on the computer almost overnight. The early days of the internet were like nothing else.
