I remember seeing the Netscape browser everywhere advertised for download, but I always stuck with Internet Explorer 6. lol

Oh, and MSN Messenger was so cool to chat with people around the world. Social media (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube) just isn't the same.
I used AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). The classic. My friends kept jumping to the latest fad, like ICQ, but everyone always came back to AIM.

In fact, I was still using AIM in college. By the mid-2000's, AIM was over and people were starting to just text or Skype.

IRC used to be the way to go for roms. I used to be a part of GBXEMU and I was a moderator there with Kivan XD! I was also a part of GBAtemp with "great" people like CrazySka and other people who used to bully me when I was just 12. Now he's banned.

Sadly I was a lurker for most of 5 years before create an account.

I didn't lurk for 5 yrs, but I did the same. Sometime in ~2002, I started coming here and a site call arcadeathome, every day, to catch the latest GBA releases.

I think the only reason I even registered an account was that at some point along the way, the rom links started being hidden unless you were registered.

While I'm new to the OTL here, I've been a very busy member of the PS Vita forum - what an awesome little device.

Finally, I posted in the "Who The Hell Are You?" thread, take a look at it, might find something intriguing...
