      It was my haunt, as an edgy teen. Even took part in the Habbo raids, shutting down pools due to AIDs.

      I think I’m just below Fossil status, I have vague memories of dialing into some late BBS’, stronger memories of AOL chatrooms, and remember the “glory” days of the *Chans, including the great Scientology Pizza Attack and Fax Bomb.

        I’m ultra old. I tell my kids about BBS’s and how you’d have to phone the internet and sometimes it’d be busy and you’d have to call back.
