    My first experience with the Internet was before there was one except for big universities and government installations.

    About 22 years ago...

    I had a fast modem with two speeds--128 baud and 300 baud. I had to dial the phone, listen to busy signals until whoever else was using the BBS would hang up. Then when I heard the other modem, I had to throw a physical switch to connect. Then I got a REAL fast modem--300/1200 baud, and it connected electronically! If anyone else in the house picked up the phone, I got disconnected.

    There was a system called FIDONET where you could send an email to someone in another state, but it worked by relays. You would post your message, and that night, the computer where you posted it would make a long distance call to another computer and dump all the messages. This would repeat until it ended up on a computer near the recipient. Took up to a week. Snail mail was faster.

    At school, I had a 200 foot extension cored so I could connect the modem to a phone. When I went online from school, I had to go around the building and put little cards on the phones on that line asking people not to pick up the phones.

    Graphical interfaces? It took up to five minutes to transmit a gif image. People were excited to get pix of Opus the penguin. 256 colors took half an hour.

    Then came some dialup services. I got a 30 day free trial from Applelink Personal Edition. It was just Apple IIs and Macs. It had ONE chat room called the People Connection and another one called the Auditorium. There were only about a thousand members. Then it turned into AOL and they let in PC users.

    And guess what? Random gay guys would IM me and ask if I wanted to cyber.

    my earliest internet memories are using the internet for the first time at my parents' friends' house. i looked up marilyn manson pics, and went into a chat room. then everyone got shitty with me because i wouldn't get off the computer and i got in trouble. i was hooked ever since.

    i remember being about 13-14 and being a regular user of yahoo! chat. i used to chat in the final fantasy rooms in the gaming section, and we had a real little popular clique and used to make up clans that you'd have to be cool to join and everyone was internet boyfriend and girlfriend and everyone took it soooo seriously. basically we were all a bunch of unpopular, teenage, geeky, social rejects who came together and dominated a place where we could actually feel popular and accepted. that was almost 10 years ago and i still talk to some of those people today, and apart from my family and one friend, they are the ONLY people i still talk to that knew me pre-stripper. some of these people know me better than anyone else on this earth.

    Hahaha. Darcy I did the same thing, but on Excite in a chat program called VP (Virtual Places). We had clans, and cyber boyfriends and girlfriends, and mums and dads... and all sorts of stupid shit.

    But I met one of my best friends there, whom I still talk to every day.

    Then came my even geekier IRC days. Where I dated the austnet op. Oh I thought I was SOOOO COOL... not just a channel op but the op of the whole net.. Too bad he was some loser who lives at home with no job in his twenties.. but yeah I was 16..

    And the camwhores days on stileproject.com... when you didnt even have to take your clothes off to make a few hundred a week and have guys buy shit off your wishlist..

    I kinda miss those days...

    I was UFOsGotMe when I was into the X Files.

    I tried to cyber with a guy once when I was like 14 and had never seen a dick. I asked him how big it was and he said 6 inches and I asked him "How big is it when it's hard?" I was awesome. I probably scarred him forever.

    Come to think of it, it was ten years ago that I discovered internet porn. I was in the 5th grade, and before then had never knew it existed and didn't know anything about sex. There was a band on MTV at the time called "Orgy" and I heard their music, liked it, and did a search on Yahoo so I could learn more about them. Wow, and that really messed my head up.

    My first username was a simple but cool nickname given to me by one of my favorite bands after I hung out and partied with them one weekend. The bass player and I have the same name so I had to change mine as it was confussing. Last time they toured here they still called me it, but otherwise I havent used it for a good 8 or 9 years now

    I met one of my best friends in yahoos punk ska and thrash chat rooms 9 years ago!

    I was all over BBSs, lol. 10 years old, my mum would plunk me down to chat with her 'computer club' friends on some BBS system when she was busy. Luckily, it was the good old days and there were no shenanigans. I met up with tons of people from local BBSs in high school too...my screennames were GreTeL and lovage.

    my first screenname was BigbootyHoe6690. I thought it was cute(remember 2 live crew) I grew up in Miami, lol...

    I also had a online relationship with some random guy, Talked to him for 2 YEARS without seeing a pic of him, Finally i got one and he was about 5'6 and 280-300 pounds, So i made a new screenname "TropicalGloWW" cause I thought that was the only way I could get rid of him. I didnt realize I could block people. lol i was such a bitch
