Back in (estimating) 1997, I was playing Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 via the then-relevant MSN Online and someone posted a link in the public chat; I don’t remember what the link offered, but it was enticing enough that my ten-year-old self clicked it.

They said “someone with the IP [whatever IP I had then] clicked this!” In response I unplugged both my modem and computer so they couldn’t hack me.

It’s embarrassing to remember now, but I knew so little at the time that it seemed to make sense in the moment.
