So you were one of those kids, everybody else just used AIM.

Damn.

I still use ICQ...

>>59474998
I might be too young, but I've never seen ICQ in the part of Europe where I grew up.

Microsoft's MSN was the first chat service widely used by non-tech people if I recall correctly.

>>59474629
I was "one of those kids" for using AIM when everyone used MSN.

Mainly because I was always a Macfag and the MSN client for MacOS was atrocious. Not sure why Microsoft couldn't apply themselves with the Mac version, a messaging app isn't all that hard to build.

Am I supposed to know what that faggot flower is?

Kademlia was the shit. Is there even anything similar nowadays where people can just share a directory with anyone in the world?

>>59474306
Ahhh icq... i loved how you didn't wait on the message being sent but seen each letter typed and retyping in real time.

Also yahoo messenger chat rooms were the original chaturbate

>>59475716
dc++?

soulseek can i think

>>59474306
good ol' i-seek-you

all my bandwagon normie friends eventually migrated to MSN and then the various SNS

which was good as I didn't have to keep that bridge to normie-land open and go back to full-time irc

>>59475648
This is a nostalgia thread, sir, not a PTSD thread.

>>59475736
So that's still a thing, huh? I remember using that like 12 years ago, before I got into torrenting everything.

>>59475603

Saved

>>59475510
>Not sure why
maybe they wanted you to use windows

>>59475453
You are too young. Many picked up at around 2007, before that it was icq.

>>59476231
>>59475453
Fuck autocorrect many = msn

>>59474998
Was big in Australia. The random function was great.

>>59475559
Not if you're underage and tech illiterate

>>59475661
>sometimes
No. you plebeian. It the majority of the time slowed it down for matching game clocks.

>>59476289
Some hardware developers mapped the turbo to raise the clock speed instead of slowing down, so when you start the computer (defaults to low speed) and notice the pc is running too slow people would press turbo to turbolize it.

>>59476335
Do you not understand statistical averages?

Honestly everyone I knew used MSN after about 2000ish.

ICQ was huge before that, though.

>>59475510
>>59475586
Adium and Pidgin worked alright for me later on.

>>59475453
ICQ was late 90's, MSN came after that, in the early 00's.

>>59477630
Yup. ICQ from '96-'00, Messenger after that. Anyone using AIM was a faggot with AOL service.

>>59478197
I used AIM/YIM and alongside MSN to talk to americans (assuming they didn't use IRC either).
