Look at this inferior pleb.

but the retards in here probably could only write by 2010 and msn was almost gone then

> download msn messenger plus+
> lets you send sounds on autoplay if both people have it.
> send inappropriate sound fx to friends in group chat and make them rage quit when their mom hears

Why did the good times end?

This made me laugh.

>nudge friends multiple times
Easy way to get a beating at school the next day.

Anyone else spent their early teens pirating mp3s and ROMs over IRC with a 56k dial-up connection?

I was a normie back then, I used to update my username with "anyone wanna do anything?" and sign in and out and boom lots of messages from..... friends......

those were good times.

now I am a mid 20's NEET.

Too young for IRC piracy but I was on WinMX back in the day.

Recently had a dream that I dug out my old PC from the attic and signed into MSN and my high school oneitis was online and she offered to meet up with me.

I can't even remember what her face looked like or how to spell her surname but I've been thinking about her a lot lately.

I remember one night she BRB'd to go visit her bf and later she told me about how she lost her virginity to him. I didn't even care at that point. I think maybe I had a chance with her once but I was blind to it and became apathetic.

>>34223617
I was similar to this. I could chat to girls like they were normal people and make jokes. Then I seemed to contract autism and pushed everyone away.

>>34222173
>you will never post in MSN game chatrooms in 2000 again

I miss the days of MSN. All my younger sister's friends thought I was the coolest guy, half of them had a crush on me. One of them was obsessed with me after I casually called her babe in a conversation on MSN and she thought I liked her. Wasn't the coolest kid at school, but was one of the smartest so had plenty of friends.

I had a QT grillfriend I met on maplestory and would stay up late on the computer talking to her. I remember the first time I got a webcam and could do video chat with her. Would both sit there late at night chatting but neither of us would talk so we didn't wake our parents up. Just type and look at her beautiful face.

Now I'm a few months away from being 25, no gf, no job, spent 90% of my time in the same bedroom I've had since I was 8. Where did it all go so wrong?

my friends were all on AIM, not MSN

I used an old version of it because with old versions of AIM, you could edit a config file and delete this other file to break the ad-serving component. The main window would just have an empty area instead of an ad. I was ad-blocking before it was cool.

I had a bunch of friends on it from school and would chat with at least 5 different girls each day, with them talking to me first, and sit on webcam with them for hours.

Oh youre one of those faggots that signed in and out all the time. That was fucking annoying, you know that right?

I would block faggots that would do that.

>>34224962
The dude just wanted someone to talk to, man.

It was a fun messaging service, is there still anything similar?

MSN Messenger was the last chat application I ever used. Once it forced you to update to Skype (I didnt 'till the very last day when it forced you to), I stopped using it.
Even Facebook's web version of its chat sucks so I never use it. And I hate texting on a damn phone. It's so unconventional without a full keyboard.

>>34225048
Even if there were, it wouldn't be the same.

>>34222173

>crush appears online
me: hey hows it going!
>crush goes offline

fucking cunt

why'd you have to make me cry like this, anons?

>had a mac
>used a client called mercury because there wasn't an official one
>let you nudge infinitely without time limit between them
>did it in a group convo and crashed 3 people's computers

Who /devilish/ here

>>34225389
There was a nudge limit?

>>34225314

She went offline but was still talking to people in offline mode, just not you.

>>34222173
I had Dragon Messenger or something, it took my normie ass 3 days to figure out hot to install the skin. It was fucking awesome.

>>34225447
Between sending nudges yeah

I used to talk to this one girl everyday. We'd both come on our laptops after school, not open up Facebook or anything, just MSN and talk to each other. We'd talk everyday. I eventually told her I liked her but she didn't like me back. She kept telling me that I was the most important person to her though. Always wanted more. Would spend hours talking to her. Just talking. You don't get that anymore. Barely anyone wants to talk to me. Girls hate me. Damn.

>>34225389
>>did it in a group convo and crashed 3 people's computers

Ah yes, the times when computers would crash all the fucking time.

>go to someone's MySpace page
>she had a custom background, gifs everywhere, a music video and music all playing at the same time
>my Pentium III Windows 98SE computer crashes

Fucking cunt.

>>34226152
This is pretty cute, bro.

>>34226152
good to hear that at least someone here has some good memories

>>34226255
>>34226227
hah glad u liked the story
when we started getting older, growing out of all that mumbo jumbo, msn became a thing of the past, and we lived 2 completely different lives, we still kept in touch. we even started an actual online business at one point. it was pretty fun, and the money we made helped me out a lot since i live in a poor country
we both have normal social lives, but still i consider him my closest friend. kinda feels like we grew up together.

have some interesting msn related stories. will post later if i dont pass out when i get home from work

>>34226152

Nice, anon.

I also know someone I meet in a anime forum. It's been like 12 years since I met him and I still talk to him. We used to talk daily, and now it's more of once in a while, but we're still cool after all these years. I also hope to meet him IRL one day.
