Default What was your first online nick/experience?

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
