Fun fact: conspiracy theorist Do believe it's not butter
 

For clarity, I didn't realize this person was a moderator of said FB group. Now that I know, the fact I've been booted doesn't really bother me. I'm not identifying him because it causes @Umbran extreme mental fatigue when he's mentioned, and it's irrelevant because as far as I know he's not on ENWorld!
 


Via reddit of all places, I jsut learned about this topic


That would roughly be when I got on the internet, via a service called Toronto Freenet. It was a text only dialup service that I primarily used for USENET access.
That happened to be my first year of college, so the first time I got access to Telnet and Usenet (and tried out MUDs). Though, like Snarf, I was a regular on local dial-in BBSs for a few years before that, and walled garden Prodigy before that.

While I had dealt with BBSes and the like before, the first time I got really into the internet was with MUDs (specifically, LPMuds), which is also when I got really into C as a programming language.

Good times, for a very loose and counter-intuitive definition of "good."
I skipped the programming languages (I guess really basic HTML, if that even counts) and stayed consumer-side. :D
 


Oh... anybody else listen to local radio? You ever get that band you really really dislike coming to town and the station plays the crap out of it? I cant wait until that show passes and then the music can stop ruining the air!
A couple of the restaurants I like play local radio. And after Thanksgiving, all it plays is Christmas music. I thought I was going to go insane.

Mine local station only does 1-2 days, but its all alternative Christmas music so none of the standards. Its pretty refreshing and just the right amount of play time.
