What are some you recall?

ASL - Age/sex/location - used to be popular in chat rooms and programs such as MIRC (remember that LOL).

BRB - Be right back. Usually would be used in private chat such as MSN Messenger

POS - used to stand for Parent Over Shoulder - Americans used to use this one a lot :tearsofjoy:

Noob - Still used but not very often

Owned - It's a real pity this isn't used anymore. One of my favourites.

CHAT CLIENTS:

Mirc was OK.
ComicChat was for those who had no idea (or pedos).
Pirch was the client real men used :grinning: Men not afraid to program out scripts.
*side note - I used to use Pirch heaps and run one of the larger teenage chat rooms many MANY moons ago.

IM CLIENTS:
ICQ shit all over MSN and Yahoo Messengers. In the later years I found Trillian best of the lot as it was completely cross platform.

SOCIAL MEDIA SITES:
Myspace ... anyone remember that?

CAM SITES:
Anyone used to use Stickam to chat with randoms (I think it was overwritten by Chat Roulette).

So many nostalgic sites/software out there no longer used, and back then it WAS harmlessly used.

Wasn't ICQ a program that would take so long to send messages... like there was a huge lag between sending and receiving? I remember people used to be able to send SMS messages for free on that thing and went crazy lol.

As for myspace, I think Justin Timberlake bought it a few years ago in the hope of rebuilding it. This was during the height of Facebook. Goodluck getting people to go back there Timberlake :tearsofjoy:

Anyone remember maxichat? If no one was in chat and you joined, it would make the first participant channel operator (or channop). People used to get kicked for no reason at all.

I remember Net Send. Actually I first used that in TAFE as a test. I did a Net Send All command (Net Send * from memory) and it went to every computer in the campus :tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:
I immediately left that room and went to the library as every computer had a sticker with the name on it so they could trace where it came from.

That was standard for IRC servers in general, except if you had a registered channel with a chatbot there all the time.

Back in the day that's how we did it to hold down the channel. I coded up the chatbot myself from scratch.
