Yep can you imagine if pornhub existed? I remember I stumbled on this website, newjoke.com, at the bottom I saw their other page, newpic.com.

Printing off pictures for my stash definitely took time and killed ink cartridges back then. Haha.

LimeWire and FrostWire


He sounds too old for that shite. I remember when Limewire died and I had a panic attack about getting music . Then Frostwire came out and we were saved.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure my/others music stealing progression path went like this

Napster > LimeWire > FrostWire

I am old enough to have recorded radio music on a cassette

Yes Napster was first. Ppl got taken to court, the program pretty much died. Then limewire seemed invincible and had more stuff.

Then Napster made it's return (cost to download) and IMO iTunes used the same concept to charge years later, but pretty much same concept.

Likewise. I was pretty shy in HS, but when I got to college and found AOL/ICQ/etc...holy hell did I go from zero to manwhore quick

Yep you had to hold play, and record button for the duration of the song.

This was also same time radio stations we're doing shout outs, you called in, it recorded your message and then look like a boss giving a shout-out to your girlfriend, crush or group of friends.

Talk about the Dark Ages. The fact that I remember the tail end of this era makes me feel old AF.

You were doing it wrong if your screen name wasn't surrounded by X's and didn't include the number 69 or 420.

My username here is my AIM screen name and it is missing letters and weird and shite because 16 characters was the most you could have on AIM.

I was 14 when I joined here and didn’t really know what a good message board name was. So AIM screen name was an easy choice.

I spent every night in AIM and don’t regret it a bit

I also married a young lady I met in an AOL chat room. Made a blind date not knowing anything about her looks, and when I met her at a restaurant discovered that she was a former "Most Photogenic" Miss USA contestant. Yeah, I know it's not believable.

I banged two chicks out of the old Yahoo chat rooms. Never much cared for AOL Messenger.
