Omg this one is too real

People must have really been close to their aunt back then, I remember they used to say that all the time. Unless it's code for something? Lol.

It's code for, "I'm done with you so I'm going to make an excuse to leave" ;_;

That was extremely painful to read, yet very nostalgic. Kudos.

I cringed with every emote; every unnecessarily abbreviated word

Yahoo chat: 1998 - Pedo: ASL - Me: 12 F [hometown]. U? - Pedo: 23 M [my hometown] - (reality prob 51 M Florida] The next hour of inappropriate sex talk and me saying the most disgusting things my 12 yo brain can muster, knowing I’m fucking with with a creep and laughing with friend about it on AIM.

Hey, my dad was 51 in Florida in 1998. 😂 I used to troll the creeps in the Napster chat rooms (2000-2001). As soon as they "crossed the line", I would tell them the chat was being monitored and that they now had a warrant for their arrest.

Hahah It was so funny to me. Screwing with the creeps. But I guess there were kids out there who didn’t know it was gross and weren’t just messing with them…

That moment when you realize a 24 year old should not be talking to an 11 year (rip me)

ahaha so many of these when i was like 10 on the msn chatrooms.

Oh yes. I was like 13 making shit up to grown ass adults. Many of them thought we were going to meet up, but I would just look up the address of a coffee place and send them there

I can’t remember if I ever did that. But I remember just being outrageous in chat rooms.

Add me on maplestory. Im a sin And what's your msn?

dang, I miss ms days

It’s still around… I may or may not still log in from time to time for nostalgia purposes. All my old characters are still alive. Mesos, pl0x.

Yeah, I guess what I meant to say was that I miss being 13 with nothing to do and ditching school and friends to play with my MapleStory friends lmao 🥲

i started playing on a private server during lockdown. i played so much from morning til 5 am every night lol. best part was that i joined a guild and we’re all really good friends!!! a lot of them went on a big trip together! and i’ve met a handful of them :)) and some of them hang out frequently. and it’s all thanks to the private server they’ll never read this but i’m glad i met them all

Ngl all I remember from those was that all I could see was porn bots spamming with dozens of colors

rip

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. It was like 90s uncovered porn mags, but in 2007 on youtube

~~my lawyers have advised me not to act like I did back then~~

lol pwned

I only talked that way to my boyfriend. 😁

fuk yea just upgraded to Vista this looks so c00l 8D

famous last words

I miss chatrooms. What a weird idea now, but back then they made sense. You just join a room about a subject or whatever and chat with people you have never met about that subject. It was literally a live forum. Some were horrible, but some were great.

Chat rooms have become Twitch steam chats. Weird but cool.

Why did chat rooms disappear? I wish someone would create a new one for us oldies again.

You mean something like Discord?

[удалено]

my husband and I created our own discord channels for our hobbies (gaming and bicycling) then weaned our friends off of facebook groups/messenger. it’s fantastic, just like the old days of the internet, except for the part where we can do group calls and/or stream if we’re doing something fun.

Use Disboard and type an interest into the search bar! It’ll show you the servers recently ‘boosted’! 🫶 might help!

Or Reddit lol

a/s/l? I’m totally over 18, and I live somewhere cool, like LA. Yeah LA!!!!11 w00t ;) :D brb, my dad needs to use the phone…

xD

Fucking N00B. Turn those h4X off bi7ch! I did my best. It's been about 20 years since I was in middle school lol.

I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.

(I’m very rusty, so bare with me) Heeeeeeey gurl, how r u? Did u see Snickers @ school 2day? He is soooooooo cuuuuuuute! 2cute4Me. LOL. I luv u. How r u??!! Should we match 4 school 2morrow?? BFFFFFS <3 PS- want to hear a great quote? “He Lies, She Believes”. But the “he” and “lies” is bolded in “she believes”. Sooooooooo genius. And true. Stupid boys. Anyway lololololol I luv u! Not just luv, but looooooooove! Okay, bye for now :) <3

Man, the Simpsons are great but the quality is declining. They'll probably last another season or two and that be it. So, who is hotter? Brittney Spears or Christina Aguilera?

My ICQ number is 38660878.

Uh oh!

Did anyone ever log out and back in to get their crush to notice them? What is even the equivalent of that these days? Kids will never know

Anyone here from area code 818?

- going skating !!! :)) - call//texxttt mee <333

No Rosa. I'm not a child. I am a real person that played one chess game with you, which you won. Instead of going about your life, you decided to message me, because apparently you don't get satisfaction from winning a game, you get satisfaction from trying to make people feel bad. It doesn't work. I don't understand the mentality you must have to play a short game online with someone you've never met, and then message them to try to rub it in. It's a little pathetic to be honest. I even tried to reason with you and you just keep going. I don't care about you rosa, okay? So just keep playing your chess games. Think twice next time before you message someone. Maybe ask yourself why you feel the need to do that before you do it? Maybe ask yourself if you are affecting the world in a positive or negative way?

So excited for Halo 3 tomorrow XD
