Years ago I helped a buddy find out his ex-wife was cheating via AOL Messenger, saved him a lot of headaches.

Man we had some fun with AOL IM back in the day. We use to catfish the frick out of people before catfishing was a thing.

I remember when I first got it, one of my friends created a fake female account, IM'd me and had me going for a few days until I finally realized that person was trying to get me to say some off the wall shite so I turned it around on them.. By making them think I was on the verge of saying some stupid shite that they were hoping I would say.

We use to find people to frick with and save the conversations on 3.5 floppy disk so that in computer science class my senior year, we could all read conversations we had, fricking with people, the night before.

it was a pretty popular thing since the invention of the internet. It's just only recently got an actual name attached to it.

I'd always be in the middle of downloading some bomb arse song to put on my OG ipod.

It never failed my mom would make me pause the download.

My buddy across the street had a cable connection so we would queue up songs and let it download all night.

30sec porno clips took like 2 hours to download... then you had to figure out how to hide them where the adults couldn't find em.
