Was going through some old computer files and found chat logs from the early-mid 2000's. AIM, Yahoo and MSN. Made me realize how many people we used to casually chat with. Chilling in the evening chatting with all your friends or whatever girls you were friendly with at the time. Come home from work, school, night outs, etc, and login to see who's online. It was such a significant part of our lives back then. Sure we have Snapchat, ********, Insta, today but it's not the same. The network of people on our buddy-lists was huge and always growing. Wasn't uncommon to have like 10 conversations going at once. I love modern stuff like YouTube but being on the computer definitely feels lonelier than it used to.

Msn messenger was the goat. Good times.

asl?

Came to post this^^ lol

who remembers ICQ?

I still remember my username #, weirdest fkn thing.

I used it in the late 90's and am sure I have my # written down somewhere. I think everyone jumped ship to AIM once it hit the scene.

Honestly hate MS teams at work. BRB any prick thinks they can send an IM and you’ll just drop whatever you’re working on to solve their problem. Emails are much easier to put off/ignore

ICQ and irc channels.

AIM my go to, but yeah, those were the best days

AIM+, brb signing onto 10 accounts at once to troll

lmfao

reminds me of the time some two face kid signed into his account on my computer when I had some friends over to chill and he completely forgot about it, chose the 'save password' tick box and I had a bunch of fun with that.
