  @AIRGold_ Joke way back even before AOL forums( early 90s) that if Meltzer started praising a guy who he hated before he was a source. You can tell even easier who talks to the sheets now because they are overtly nice to wrestlers or say nothing bad or say this group should hire them.

  Something I didn't think would happen, happened!! I am exactly 3 years older than Ask Jeeves but I'll forever outlive Ask Jeeves. This sucks as Ask Jeeves was the de facto Google Alternative growing up during the Dial-Up/DSL Era, then AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Bing, and the rest came along. Definitely a bigger loss than Spirit Airlines in my view but it is what it is.

  I remember being harassed, intensely and regularly, for instigating my class action against AOL. Claiming I did it for "E-Fame" or money. No I did it for one reason and one reason only. They pissed me off. I knew from before I was a KO that they were breaking multiple labor laws. My FIL was a lawyer and explained it to me but I made a decision to stay in the illegal position because I knew community online would become the world of the future and I wanted my part in it. Then they collectively **** upon a ton of folks, some of who were in extremely bad health, others terminal. And that pissed me tf off. They got rich off of people who could barely provide for themselves and then they cast them aside. I never thought I would end up changing internet employment policies for so many companies. Or that I would be classified as a labor activist. Strange trip folks #FTR

  @RetroNewsNow True story: I had never used the internet before, and someone asked me to set up their AOL. I popped the CD in and kept clicking “Next” until I reached a step where I needed to enter the internet provider number. I had no idea what that was, so I just entered the first phone number I remembered my friend’s house. Then I kept clicking “Next” until the setup was done. Time to connect to the internet… and of course, the modem dialed my friend’s house. We could hear his mom through the computer: “Hello? Hello? Who’s this?” My friend rushed to the phone, picked it up, and asked, “Is this the internet?” Months later, I was hanging out with the other friend, and he told me a weird story about someone calling his house asking if it was the internet. I never told him it was me lol.

  If you are old enough, you remember the 1990's internet. Yahoo!, Netscape navigator, AOL... Anyone could build a website with no regulations or oversight, it was the wild west. There was no 'darkweb' like we have today. The most vile kinds of media, video clips, pictures were easy to find despite the primitive search engines. This was all before Google. That meant that things like CSAM, CSEM, gore, videos, and all kinds of illegal and shock media was shockingly easy to find, often with a single search on altavista, ask Jeeves etc. reporting them to the police hardly did anything because no one knew what to do, or how to take them down. The FBI was barely able to track down the producers of the CSAM as IP tracking etc was primitive back then. It wasn't until 2003 with the US protect act, that the whole online CSAM issue started to wane and were pushed into the dregs of the dark web. So yeah... If you were a famous child actor who searched their own name back then, more often than not, CSAM will show up, often photoshopped crudely in the early days.
