We're you a 1337x0r haxx0r on AOL? Did you have a ultra h4xx3d kickbot? What about before wikipedia? Encarta was something else.

>the first meme I ever knew
This gave the FBI a run for their money, that's for damn sure.
Everyone had seen this screen
My first PC had 4MB of HDD. I was blown away, wondering how I could ever fill it up. It was crazy. Also, I used AOL, got it from the disk that came in the mail. My first email address was @Diablo.com. back when battlenet didn't suck dicks.

AOL chat kickers indeed made me feel like 1337 h4xX0R. Then MIBii made me feel like a GOD
I was a SNERT with all sorts of bots. It was a magic time before search engines.

That's fuckin badass I never knew that.
I mainly downloaded viruses that we're labeled as kickbots when I was 7 years old. No better way to learn than just receiving the ultimate punishment of wrecking the fucking computer and having to learn how to fix it. Took me 3 months until I finally learned what buttons to click with x amount of CDs to reinstall the OS.
Oh those we're the days.
Both before it was cool and before it was gay.
I was young and for some reason what really entertained me most was simply saying “don’t fuck with me” which promots a flood of “fuck yours” then I nuked the channel.
Spoofing was also amazing. The program could do a lot of shit but I actually only used a few features frequently.
gozilla and netscape free internet.
stacking up free trial aol disks.

I once botnetted nearly 1000 computers off a a simple flash exploit and newgrounda upload and promptly deleted everything on my computer and sold it.
Did not get another computer for half a year.

trump vs putin thing is a theater to divert the international attention of the Palestinian massacre caused by the Jews.
the Jews used the same strategy in 2014 when they killed 3,000 Palestinians in 2 weeks. at the time the ukraine vs russia theater was used.

90s and early 2000s were the golden age of doing illegal shit on the internet. All the black and greyhats are afraid now and gen z does not know technical things because its all point and click. Transhumanism is (((their))) last ditch effort

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh.
I miss the old days man... this shit is kind of fucked up right now. In a good way. We're all connected through information... but man, when we didn't know what the fuck was happening and we we're just doing weird shit on the internet... it was simpler.
I'd love to go back to the 80s/90s as a time traveler as an adult.

i had my first contact with the internet in 94 i think. shit was awsome. me and my brother used to look for the most crazy shit online, all sort of porn even children porn. the most crazy ones we showed to our parents. It was more about the amazement. Back then we didnt know about cp, it wasnt even a issue. that was literally the deep web on the normal internet. There was only IRC, and it was awsome. I used to know tons of chicks on irc encounters on bars. Actually i still think that shit is more effective than tinder to get pussy. Its sad that irc have no popularity this days. Then we had icq, it was ok ... then orkut and facebook. facebook destroyed the way to make new friends. Actually i think i stopped making new friends online after facebook. Right now im out of facebook for obvious reasons. Internet changed alot but its still a familiar place.
o that's right, I knew the name sounded familiar and not just because of the obvious. they made the first racing game I ever played, with the sickest title screen theme of all time youtube.com
it would be so much harder than you think. you take so much of modern technology and society for granted, going back would be one hell of a fucking eye-opener to just how much things have changed in a relatively short span of time
>Transhumanism is (((their))) last ditch effort
>muh transhumanism is jewish maymay
So what are you going to do? Die while Jews don't and become superhuman?
So many younglings.
My first computer was an Amstrad CPC464 with the green monochrome monitor, think it was around '85 I got it. No hdds just cassette tapes, good times.
plenty of black hat shit going on we just arent in the know obviously
Why were Aliens so big in the 90s?
Did the internet play a role?
Here ya go op
This shit was awesome
>What about before wikipedia? Encarta was something else.
That's what bothers me. There's no Encarta substitute anymore. As a kid I was mesmerized by Encarta 98 or so. It was interactive, colorful, had sounds, videos, some 3D virtual flights etc... Wikipedia is too plain and won't inspire kids anymore.
I kinda miss all those "interactive CD-ROMs".
Future girlfriend kid, right? :^D
1gb in the 80s? yeah nah you are kidding yourself.
watching that gif was quite the euphoric experience. im so hard right now desu
quarantine 2 was called Road Warrior.... it was friggen awesome
It truly was. It wasn’t even hidden either.
has anyone ITT ascended in Nethack?
You mean 1 MB?
Anyone remember MODs? As in the old 4-channel music format?
modarchive.org
That was a big trip down memory lane.
>yfw you will never burn .wav files from a cd, and transfer them to .mp3 format in glorious mono only and play them in early iterations of Winamp
I miss BBSs.
>local dial-up run by local people
>sometimes the owners throw get-togethers
>big local meetups now and then
There's "meetup" now but BBS gatherings were nice because it wasn't that specific. Made some long lasting friends that way. I guess internet kids today are just shit out of luck when it comes to actually finding cool people just to hang out with. No conversion from online to real life like local BBSs could do.
I met my wife on a MUD.
>or was is a MOO
Well. Thanks now I have a case against you.
I was in the first 50k users of AOL.
Have any Internet vets felt that they've outgrown the web? It's still will continue to be useful, but the medium gets repetitive and predictable.
I still enjoy fighting the good fight on the webs. I know it's mostly trolls on Facebook but someone has to be the voice of the majority or it just looks like the [probably paid] trolls own it all.
I still do lots of gaming though.
I have. 5 times.
Hey! I see you're trying to discuss the good old days before the Internet! Would you like help with that?

The "gibs" of the early internet
lol, I remember those days.
I remember the primary form of communication was IRC. BBS's were still around, but they were getting pushed aside by HTTP... even though web pages were nothing more than colored text on a colored background with a shitty GIF if you were lucky.
I remember FTP'ing Nasa.gov and finding shit loads of stupidly high resolution images for their time. One of the constructions had the badge "Mission to Mars" on it... obviously that never got off the ground unless it was a preliminary name for the rover project.
56k baud was the shit. I went from 18.8 to 56k. What a difference!
These were the days when you could use a push button to make a phone call by tapping out the numbers. 0 was 10 taps. 1 was 1. 9 was 9... etc... You used to be able to find the phone boxes in the woods behind residential developments, splice into the wires with a mic and earphones and a pushbutton and call anyone you wanted on someone elses dime, if you didn't mind being out in the cold.
These were the days when a denial of service attack could be carried out from a single point with a repetitive ping demanding a high volume reply, in fact, that was one of the official ways to get a defective modem to crash and force restart without having to get an elderly customer to unplug it and plug it in again.
Such simple times.
Oh I do remembering doing a DNS attack one time because I had one of the first cable modems and the other guy had dial up. He was cheating at Rainbow Six, the original. Back when "hacking" meant literally just opening a text file and changing some values so one particular gun was a supergun.
I was able to run a sniffer to see what IP address I was connected to and then ping flooded it til his server vanished.
Good times.
If you don’t remember pic related- you haven’t lived
Yeah I made a beige box back in the day and made calls outside my friends houses. Such fun
Also learned to program on a MUD in the 90s
