Ahh, The glory days of Internet hookups. No expectation that you have enough information online to dox yourself, no real way for sloots to stalk you, just a/s/l in ... and see your way out....

Use to hangout on efnet back in the day and a small 30-40 user network of some gaming buddies. This thread brings me back like some gaming board threads.

I'm much younger than a lot of y'all, I had an AIM account for a while, and it was pretty cool in my adolescent eyes...and then came xanga and MySpace.

This was such a big thing when I was in middle school and the beginning of high school. Almost kind of sad to see it go.

I used to peruse Match.com and enter the girls' user names into AOL messenger, because they would often use the same name for each.
I had some success with this tactic.

How do I say goodbye to what we had
The good times that made us that outweighed the bad
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to my homies

I used to leave up all kinds of super inappropriate away messages, like various euphemisms for masturbating, on the family computer in the middle of the house thinking that I was hilarious, and my dad would get pissed at me. Man, I was such a shite.

AOL really is an amazing story. From nothing to on top of the world back to nothing in the blink of an eye.
If they had only acted a little sooner to buy up broadband companies, things could have been different. Pour one out on one of those old AOL discs.
Edit...Wow. I was wrong about them going to nothing. Had no clue it was spun back out and was gobbled up again in 2015 for 4.4 billion.

Ahhhh, AIM And Yahoo messenger.
I have a wonderful daughter that is asleep on the other side of the house that wouldn't be here without AIM and Yahoo messenger.
Also have a crazy ex wife due to them.
Also lots of great stories.

My aim years were 6th-9th grade and I’m honestly pissed Facebook came around and fricked it all up. I spent hours every night on AIM and killed it. Really wish it would have lasted through high school as a big thing.
I miss it every day. Would give absolutely anything to go back.
We had 2 computers in our computer room and whenever a friend was over, we’d both get on and it wasn’t just a fricking blast for some reason. If you didn’t have a bunch of convos going, you could join some chat rooms and just frick around in there to kill time until people signed on. I can fricking hear those sounds/alerts of getting a message and people signing on and off in my head and it’s amazing. frick time and getting older
