Old School... Do you remember any of these?

ChatNow.com
iChat.com
Open24.com
CYAO.com
WickedChat.com
NaughtyChat.com (When they first launched)

Damn, there were so many I can't remember them all. How many of you chatted there frequently? What was your username back then?

I'm not talking a few years ago, I mean circa 1989 to 1990... before Microsoft bought Hotmail. Which reminds me, how many of you have your original Hotmail addresses Pre-Microsoft?

Not that far back. More after the "Internet" was surfed with a "Browser". I used to have one of those slow as fuck 96baud modems that I had to pick up the phone receiver and set it on the modem. LOL

Yep. Old school. Been on a computer since the 6th grade. Back then my school district had those new Apple IIe's. woooooooooooooooooooooow.

I remember the days when you had to make multiple floppies for games to load, and reconfigure ram. I remember the BBS's. All text, not b.s. bots, spam, and so on. I remember when Yahoo came around about 10 years ago. I remember the old AOL/Prodigy/Compuserve. Before a hotmail. Before most of the things we now have. Back then you had a lot of different things, and it was like the wild west. But a lot different from today's wild west of shams, stealing credit cards, spyware, and so on.

You had a bazillion little shit sites, and you could actually get listed on search engine's w/o politics, and millions of dollars.

Ah.. good ol days.

Used Telix from 300 baud on up. Sickly old school, lol

Had a 300 buad modem on my old C64.

Here's the true old school chat test. Any of you ever use QSD? It was THE chat system back in the day. Based in france I believe. Had to hack our way through tymnet to get to it.
