Comment on I rebuilt a 1997 chat room. First thing someone typed was "lol". Some things never change.

  I… Don’t know how to feel about that. That makes sense but also feels awfully blasphemous to the origins of the internet.

    If it helps, part of that joke was that it should always be assumed your 16/f/ca was always 43/m, and it had a bit of an “I am Sparticus” feel to it.

    On the Internet, we’re all 16/f/ca.

        Shouldn’t. It served as a warning.

        I was the 16/m… and I certainly experienced a small part of it.

      Meanwhile, I was 11/f/nj, which became 14/f/nj.

      Yes, there were creeps.

      I did actually make friends with a real life 12-year-old from North Carolina, though, so that seemed pretty cool (we spoke on the phone a number of times--he was definitely a 12ish-year-old boy).
