    In 1998 I was only 8 years old. Yeah I recall something like that, not clear enough tho :P

  • Oh boy.... (Literally I guess)

    I was older than that.

  • Can't forget those good memories in IRC.. how you make friends, do support, manage, monitor your servers and etc.

    Simply Lovely...

  • I can't forget the good old times when I joined IRC to make friends, the first times when everybody was asking for "asl pls" (age sex location please) after an hello, the first virtual kisses and smiles without emoticons or Asiatic emoji, and the first time when I traveled about 200 kilometers just to kiss a girl that I met on IRC.

    The emotions, the desire, the endless conversations with hours and the thrill when you managed to get pictures from girls through DCC file-transfer, I personally loved it. Bad boys tried to behave and look smart, good boys tried to look bad like rebels, fat girls tried to look thin to attract beautiful boys, skinny girls tried to look fat to see if the guy searches the inside of a woman. Everything was a beautiful chaos.

    Sadly, we now have every information ready for display: pictures, videos, profiles, social networks with tags on pictures. There is no conversation starting from scratch, because I already know who they are and how they look and what they work and what's their education. They can already guess who I am and what I want before the conversation even begins. We look at each other... comment... and that's about it.

    Maybe now I am too old for this.
