I was FrEakAChu, in a pokemon chat room. I don't remember what we talked about in that chat room, I think people mainly stuck to imaginary poke-battles and cybersex. And I remember trying to mess with people, getting in the way of their e-battles typing *exploding cock attack* and other sundry cock-related attacks. I kept doing the same thing for a couple months at least, I guess it must've been pretty hilarious for me at the time.

So did anyone else have first online experiences as sordid and juvenile as mine, or were you all class acts from the very beginning?

I would occasionally briefly pop into a random AOL chat but this is actually the first message board I ever posted on. I did not really have regular access to the internet until I went to college.

i just want you to leave my family alone already.

I have no idea - I just know that it was at my dad's computer, and I played an online Lego game against some Chinese kid. It was rad.
Fuck, that's ten years ago...

BBS, and I don't recall my screenname. Internet, probably a MUD.

Playing Diablo I online in seventh grade - as Duo{Vamp}.

for me it was on IRC. i picked the name Liquid-J. i didn't really understand much about the internet, but for some reason, i gravitated toward #missouri. i tried to be inoccuous at first, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, and after a bit i threw down the sheep's costume and started lashing out at everyone, making threats and stuff. one guy kicked me out. and i kept trying to get back in, and then talked more shit, and as soon as they started messing with me i got my friend who's really good at computers to make me the op of that channel somehow and i banned all of those fuckers and changed the title to something insulting and kept harrassing them and shouting at them. any time i got in any trouble, i ran to my friend and he'd destroy anyone who messed with me with some weird scripts it was awesome

Counter-Strike was another early online-pleasure of mine.

aol sports message boards and xfiles aim chat

edit: I forgot AMSP.

the o-board, sort of

oh, IRC.... holy shit that's a long time ago.

i also had all powerful friends who could do bad things to people but i wasn't as aggressive as J, as far as i remember. man, why #missouri ?

I was J@ckal at lordofpain.net. It was a wrestling message board back when I was into wrestling in 8th grade.

no real reason at all, it was the first place i kind of landed. i didn't even know how to find rooms and stuff. one guy said he was gonna fry my computer and i cried terrified to my friend because it was my parents computer and the guy disappeared. my friend said he wasn't proud of what he did, but that it had to be done. i think he did to him what the guy had threatened to do to me. he said he woudn't do it again, and to be careful. he tried teaching me how to write scripts but i didn't have any aptitude. i also slapped people with a large trout.

Anyone remember the Kosertech [?] boards?

AOL chat rooms at age 9 or 10... no idea what my username was. probably sparklystar10 or something.

I pretty much didn't discover message boards until I was 15 or 16, I would've figured everyone started in a chat room somewhere, but I guess it depends how old some of us were when first using the internet.

AIM was my gateway drug. i had a truly original sn like dsfgfdsdfds or something dumb. i was probably in 7th grade.

I remember something called "the park" or something of that sort. This was the first time I ever used the internet to actually interact with people.

i think i first got online in 1995, maybe 1996, but it was 1997 that stands out as when I went to AOL chat rooms and whatnot.
then came typing in "smashing pumpkins" into a search engine and perusing the websites for HOURS (i remember the netphoria front page being a regular in 1998). i distinctly remember chatting with a brazilian fan who was going to send me lyrics but never did. i dunno wtf that was all about.

I was pretty aggressive sometimes in my early internet days, I think everyone has to get that out of their system after being introduced to a place where you can say whatever you want with no repercussions. That's pretty awesome though, I bet people still live in fear of #missouri.

Prodigy Classic circa '94-96. my sn was twentytwo2. I frequented the Young Adults chat room. I don't remember what I talked about. It was certainly a more innocent time though. Before Myspace, napster, idiotic 4chan/somethingawful/lolcats linguo.

First interaction was on the Marathon's Story site :rockon:

i was a regular on irc on undernet a looooooooong time ago for a couple of years, maybe 10 years ago? it was entertaining.

Compuserve.

1993 sometime.

I used my dads screen name to try to look at nudie pics, but only found bikini shots...it took about ten minutes to load one picture. My, how far we've come. And yes, pun intended.

And I also remember a little bit after that, I started to use Netscape Navigator...and I remember asking my dad "wait...I have to type in this long http address EXACTLY!?"

BBS, and I don't recall my screenname. Internet, probably a MUD.

that's the boat i'm in.

bbses ~1992 and the internet in 1993. i started with irc before muds, though.

i used 'agent orange' on bbs's when i was 8. it pissed off my dad when he found out, because of the vietnam connection. then it was black francis. and i started running a bbs called 'the cathouse'. i had no idea thats what whorehouses were called. so i changed it to 'the abyss'. good old 300 baud modem days.

My name was 13YOPatrick:) on AOL. I entered a chatroom called "Free Candy in Asheville, NC!" and chatted with a fella called ThePenetrator who promised me free candy at the park. Let's just say I shied away from the internet for a few years after that.

did anyone belong to KiwiBox?

yahoo chat rooms where i acted like a 20 y.o. and tried to get girls numbers.

the oldest screen name of mine that i remember is 'neon eyes' on the official marilyn manson bbs. i think that was a really nice board actually. i seem to remember the interaction between people as very easy and innocent. i was mostly with the artsy playful people and not the fucked up misery people. lots of little games and long *does such and such* parties. after it was closed i came here because the o-boarders always talked about how mean and horrible the netphorians were

i remember pm'ing with a 19 year old japanese girl there and thinking how weird it was that i was talking to a girl that was so old

:(

Chat rooms on Compuserve from 94-96 (got good porn), not sure of my nick

AOL from 96 until about 99, macfilez -> zelifcam chat room for warez trading... went by CDon8100 (my initials and the 8100 was the computer I was on)

Got Adelphia Cable internet around 99-00, started going as Quiet, hit the heights of internet ridiculousness by admininistoratingalizing the oboard.

It's been uphill ever since.

i used to search for people with 'christianity' as an interest of theirs on aim, tell them about this great christian rock band i was in and ask them if they wanted to check out my band's website. then i'd give a link to tubgirl.

I like your style.

Wait a minute, hasn't tubgirl only been around a couple of years

tubgirl has definitely been around for longer than a couple years.

i have no idea exactly how long though.

Did tubgirl come even before lemonparty? If so I really need to get my disturbing internet porn funnies history in order.

I've been AndySlash since the beginning, when I posted in AOL chatrooms (Pink Floyd rooms, IIRC) at my friend's house. I initially had no idea how internet was paid for, and ended up racking up $200 in bills one month because it was by the hour or whatever. Oops.

i would go on aol to gothic roleplaying chatrooms and reply with dumb comments like
::eats jello with fork:: to try and throw off their game. needless to say i was a late bloomer.

OLGA, the on-line guitar tab archive and alt.guitar.tab are the first places i can recall visiting

well the first place i visited was nick.com when i was 9 or something

Mr. Selfish

Shattering Glass

i used to frequent the spinonline aol boards.

my friend lauren had a computer and we would go to nickelodeon chatrooms. i was probably 11. i didnt have internet at my house until i was sixteen. i made my first hotmail account which is still my main account. i also still use my first aim screenname.

anyway, my first messageboard experience was posting at thinpages which was a pro-ana board. i would just post pictures of hamburgers and stuff.

There were Nickelodeon chatrooms? Could they have made it any easier for pedophiles?

that pro ana shit is weeeeeeiiiiirrrrddd

I find this pretty hilarious, I've gotta try doing something like that sometime.

AOL Message Boards, the rock music and sports ones. There were some "Teen" boards that were full of slutty girls that I thought were awesome too, but I had to make sure my mom wasn't watching. Back then I was allowed like an hour a night since we were paying by the hour.

i started out on listessa.

hey skipgo

Yahoo chat rooms on occasion, but hardly ever...and I was only like 11 years old.
Netphoria basically was my first.

hi maoi. should i call you that now?

I used to go onto the gay chatrooms on AOL and piss off all the homosexuals by saying something offensive to them.

they've probably never experienced anything like that before. clever piggy!

I was like...11 at the time i think.

Same as pbe I only really got access to the internet at college round '99. Some random chat rooms were my first experience along with Netphoria. Think my sn was travis_was_the rain.

lemon party ?

Eh?

NFL.com chat

I made fun of everyone's team.

netphoria


now i can't get used to anything else anymore.

My first exposure to messageboards was a place called anti-social.com. I can't remember my screenname at the moment, but I do remember it's what roasted me over flames to start with before I jumped to Netphoria.

Basically, I pretty much hit the ground thinking that you're supposed to call everyone a fucking moron and a shithead from the first post out. ANd I can't really stop now.

I'm a big ole carebear on WoW you wouldn't believe...

AMSP & smashing-pumpkins.net shortly after i landed on IRC (efnet) in #smashing_pumpkins

I have always been MonteLDS since i started using the internet.

Lack of imagination, huh?

i just lurked on various hentai boards for a while

I have been redbreegull since I was posting on Banjo-Kazooie websites in the sixth grade.

Haha, how many banjo-kazooie websites with forums could there've been?

I typed sarahmichellegellernude.com into the search bar only to find the page was not found. I then got told off by my dad.

joined a battlefield 1942 clan with a guy from Michigan named bruticus, and a girl in england that never had a good connection named milly.
my name was snipeme

i would go on aol to gothic roleplaying chatrooms

My best friend did this for yeeeeeeeeeeeeeears.

I first got on AOL in 1995, I think. I got my own account and everything- my grandparents paid for it, as a Christmas present. I still have the account too, actually. Although now that you can have free AOL screen names, I don't pay anymore (My family still e-mails me on the AOL accounts)

My first screen name was VenusNox64. No idea why. Yes, I still have it. Hah. It took me until 1998 to come up with HapyKhiken, which is still my AIM name, and my name everywhere else.

I think I'd used the internet briefly before I got my own account and stuff, but not much. Then I started going into chat rooms (but never those lame gothic/vampire RPG ones like Misty did) like Smashing Pumpkins rooms, "teen" rooms, and my favorite was one called Mental Hospital (usually spelled MEnTaL HoSPiTaL, of course) and still talk to one friend that I met it in there in like 1999.

IRC (efnet) in #smashing_pumpkins



Bingo... this was my start as well, in the 2 or 3 SP channels on efnet. I was DaVe96, DaVe97....and so on.

I was also big into #football

AMSP & smashing-pumpkins.net shortly after i landed on IRC (efnet) in #smashing_pumpkins

I have always been MonteLDS since i started using the internet.

yup, I was there quite often starting in 1995 or so. I remember I would leave my computer on for days and just sit in #smashing_pumpkins on efnet. I used to use an exploit in microsoft word while I was in middle school to run mIRC and go into #smashing_pumpkins. I used to go by NotWorthAsking and HoNeySpIdEr or one of those awesome names.
