When I first started chatting on IRC (like back in late 95) my nickname was RAVErrr. Nibaq’s nickname was XBS and I still remember the first time he helped me get on IRC, I think I was using the software WS_IRC.
So what was your nickname?
If you have anything you think would be interesting to share on this blog

Stuff I think is worth sharing taken from the b-sides.

I think my generation’s first ever experience with chat was ICQ, before the Mass Exodus of 1998, when everyone suddenly decided to switch to MSN.
ICQ, I hated it but everyone I knew was using it so i got on it, then by the time i started using it everyone had already moved to msn lol
I was pondering.. why not #kuwaitblogs?
I remember that! You found the randomest of people on IRC!
hehehehe!
you could, but i guess it would just be you there alone lol. seriously though does anyone still use irc? i get on every now and then but its mostly warez related not to chat…

UMM.. that was way too old Mark it was like at 97 , i had my first nickname there (STILKUS) and it was really unique ,, i’m using it till now cause it’s like free in every site i sign up in :) .. my really main use for IRC servers that time was like downloading illegal software and i didn’t like warez that time .
