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.

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!

AOL CHATROOMS.

Same here. I was just hitting puberty and a whole new world of deviant behavior I didn't know existed synced up perfectly for some crazy interactions.

Fun times.

I didn't realize what I was doing then is considered trolling now. My buddy and I started to just say the most ridiculous shite and people got so riled up that it made us want to do it more. I hate trolls now though
