yeah i was user 170860 i can't seem to shake that for some reason.

Hah! You remember the exact number. That's awesome.

of course, some things you just never forget. my icq is one of them. ha! :)

ICQ was so hype... I was using irc at that time tho

Ah yes. I spent a bit of time in the various #warez channels as well. IRC was the best. The purist still think it is.

Haha, yeah #warez was also where I hung out :D

Back when the internet was scary and you were never supposed to give any personal information away to anyone.

Ha! That's a good one. I guess I know who is behind that! ;)

Ahaaa so now I upvoted myself :P and now I see how it could work, just to get attention ;) Sneaky!

my mother still lives in that era of time lol. The good ol' days man, i remember HTML Yahoo Chat before they programmed it in Java. So slow, but so cool back then.

I love hearing stories of those who pioneered the Internet on BBS's using slow-as-molasses dialup connections. I came in the second wave, what I call the AOL adoption wave. :)

Ha yeah same here, i marvel at the stories of the old BBS systems and the old school pirates. I came in on AOL 1.0 too lol

You mean you guys never had NetZero? or NetZero 3G?! (still slow as fuck)

i had netzero when it was actually still free lol, they had another one in NYC that was free too, metro something dial up. lol
