Curious to hear what some of you were doing online 10 years ago.

Besides being on nforce.nl , I was running a Natural Selection server that was pretty popular at the time, just getting into Star Wars Galaxies, setting up a MySpace account, and very excited to be downloading mp3's at a whopping 200KB/s, also spent a lot of time around mIRC.

So lets hear it, what were you up to online a decade ago?

seducing women... having a laugh... trolling irc radio stations ("befriended" a couple proud yanks requesting good songs none of these idiots knew about and then requested an anti-american song that got so much hatred and the radio station was never the same after that lol took me two months to gain full trust of those kids. \o/)

I was quite an evil doer 10 years ago. a lot of things im not proud of today. But meh... 10 years ago who cared if you got people so angry they logged off for days on end.


oh also kicking ass and creating a brand new never before made modified day of defeat server for avalanche. I only came up with the idea and with the help of smart creative people they amped it up... server is still up to this day. \o/ Though I can't any longer take credit for my awesome idears... Razz

Ooh also was one of the first few gamers who found all the glitches bugs in dod maps and exploited them during private matches and what not.

I probably have joined that server since I played my share of NS back in 2003. I remember setting up a clan with a friend of mine which wasn't that much of a clan to begin with tho it was just basically him and I but we got to play with a bunch of different people from all over the world which amazed me quite a bit, at the age of 16 Razz Laughing

@Mutantius

We must have ran into each other at some point then. I was really big into NS for years, our server was called TSAOutpost. We had a good run for about 2 years, and then the community started falling apart. Good times Smile

Probably but I suppose it was an american server? Since I strived as much as possible to get EU servers but I cant seem to remember that that servername anyways NS1 was some crazy ass fun, alot more fun than the 2nd ever was, that might just be nostalgia talking tho.

Exactly ten years ago I was probably stoned and downloading stuff from ftps and other links I got on a long dead board called something like world warez forum, later ww-forum.

I was pretty lucky back then, having the university network internet connection with up to nice 4MB/s download speeds.

I later became a mod on that board, but it went downhill pretty fast when they couldnt manage to adapt to all the rapidshare stuff. What a waste of my time that board was. Laughing


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

I think 2003 might have been the year we switched from dial-up to broadband. I was downloading porn, films and stuff. Even though it took about a week to download a film Laughing Just trying to find some online places that were cool. The internet was an amazing place back then, so much to see and do. Now I've done everything.

Heh, I did plenty of that too when I was younger, especially the days when I lived in Poland. 10 years ago I was fresh out of high school 18 year old, with no job and no motivation :/

*edit*

grats newt Very Happy

IRC, running my own SOF2 clan, searching for samples to use while Dj'ing (spin the records type, not fake radiostation stuff ), Nforce of course, Being a moderator on some FxP boards, scanning for and upping on some servers for those boards. Bruteforcing certain sites for a forum, friends and mostly horny clanmembers... You know the usual stuff Laughing

*Edit* Sad that I forgot a lot of names/sites of that time tbh Think the only thing that kinda stuck was Nforce and some clan members that I still have on facebook/msn (eventho I always hated using them).
