Old School Chat Rooms
Who here remembers the days of AOL chat rooms, AIM and other chats as such? If you're not aware, they were basically how Discord is now, except a lot more trolling and people trying to hook up lol. I still have friends that I talk to on occasion from those even to this day.Last Movie Watched: Morbius (2022).
Last TV Show Watched: MARVEL's What If?...(S3:E7).

Re: Old School Chat Rooms
I stayed on AOL much longer than I had any business of doing so. I can't remember when I first got a cable modem ('02 maybe?), but I still logged on to AOL for a few years after that it seems.
I didn't do too many chat rooms, but I would instant message all the time.Samsung PN60F8500 PDP / Anthem MRX 720 / Klipsch RC-62 II / Klipsch RF-82 II (x2) / Insignia NS-B2111 (x2) / SVS PC13-Ultra / SVS SB-2000 / Sony MDR-7506 Professional / Audio-Technica ATH-R70x / Sony PS3 & PS4 / DirecTV HR44-500 / DarbeeVision DVP-5000 / Panamax M5400-PM / Elgato HD60Comment

Re: Old School Chat Rooms
That’s how I started downloading MP3s. This was before Napster, I would be given a list of MP3 from emails in AOL and I would serve them with a program in chat rooms. Pretty interesting way of pirating back in the day [emoji23].
I was the first guy to burn cds and I would make money selling cds.

Had a guy on AIM who would do that. If I couldn’t find it through my own means, I’d ask and he’d deliver.
AIM was the main form of communication for my youth (early-mid 2000s), didn’t have a cell phone until ‘06 and wasn’t using text messages (only had so many on the plan! Lol) then. I did end up using AIM on one of the early phones, too. Seems redundant today but made sense back then.
So many witty away messages. Well, I thought they were… lolNHL - Philadelphia Flyers
NFL - Buffalo Bills

Re: Old School Chat Rooms
Ah, AIM. I miss the summers, spending time at the beach and then coming home to try to stay in touch with girls I met. We would exchange home numbers and AIM usernames and make promises we didn't know we wouldn't keep. This was before texting. Oh, young naive love, and puberty and hormones kicking life into overdrive.
It’s wild to consider how far we have come since then when comparing that timeframe to other societal advancements and revolutions.Comment

Re: Old School Chat Rooms
My mom was an expert at that. She got the whole post office employees on it and we would get CDs in droves.
I got whatever cds I wanted too, I would get a ton of hip hop and rnb cds.
I ended up ripping majority of all the cds, literally hundreds.
Too bad the hard drives I had that had gotten corrupted but she still has all the cds in huge cd cases.
