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

Who else used to try and flaunt their online time? Having DSL was a flex.

Seems like it was longer ago than that….we have come so far since dialup!
I think they are referring to the AIM stand alone app. You could definitely instant message inside of the AOL platform before 1997.

10 tapes or CDs for $1 but then you have to buy 5 at $25 a pop
I have hundreds of CD's because of CH and the other one. I would just order them and since I was moving every 6 months at that time (on my own apt to apt) I never followed though on the contract

AOL CHATROOMS
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
