  I never had a MySpace and now I feel like a huge part of my life i missed out on. I did do the aol chat rooms for a longer than necessary time but that was before and after the state hospital. I am too old I am just now again realizing this for the fifty millionth time in life.

  @Wild_Nefari @Hulex My only reason for discord usage is for streaming & community build it has far better tools for that. TG I use it for virtually anything. But damn I do miss the days of MIRC or AOL cause when you send a file it doesn’t matter how big it was.

  @lynxfindsdeals It was fun. Lots of chat rooms and message boards. Had to be careful of who you talked to, though. But the internet itself was pretty unstable, especially if it was dial-up. We started with Juno and then AOL back in the early ‘90s. Quality was much better with ethernet.

  i stole the AIM passwords of everyone in my highschool and published them on my website (600 accounts) when i was in 9th grade, the school put me in a computer class with seniors cause they didn't know what to do with me. i ended up hired by the school to help with IT i was super immature despite my technical skills and i didn't have anyone around me to recognize / steer me in the right direction. adults often get confused by a kid with high intelligence and assume everything else about the kid must be on their level. well, it isn't i wrote a program and installed it as admin on every pc to extract passwords from aol instant messenger. after a couple weeks i had everyone's password i then published them all on my personal website and called them all dumbasses in the process. zero couth. total cringe. the site went "viral" in the school district and i was fired the next day when i realized the stupidity of what i had done, i was extremely embarrassed. in fact, I'm embarrassed thinking about it now, even 23+ years later. despite that, it was a major learning experience that shaped how i handle the responsibility of personal information thereafter

  @y_molodtsov @TrungTPhan AOL was a NY based company. For 15 years, owned by Verizon and Yahoo. I don't buy that it's suddenly more cool to work on now. It's still an incredibly poorly designed home page and a predatory subscription service with old people buying crap they don't need.

  @DavidMWeissman @FadeAwayMedia well, his creative didn’t help, but WCW was a huge casualty of the AOL-Time Warner merger.
