I was on irc from around '93 to 2003ish. Mostly in #hack but sometimes I would mess with people on #2600. It was actually part of my job, which was network security at the Pentagon until I got out of the USAF in '98. My co-worker and I monitored and attacked Pentagon networks to keep them safe, and mgmt wanted us to gt into the hacker community for learning and intel. We went to all of the BlackHats and Defcons, local cons like PumpCon in Philly, and a few others. Fun times.
My username here is the same one I've used since '93.
Yep. We used to jokingly spam the channels we were in with "aol.txt" messages. Remember that? kek
Some of the channels I hung out in are still around on EFNet, funnily enough. I just checked the other day. Same bots too, and I still have ops in one of them.

Oh I remember.. I was only a kid but I'd sneak to the basement and dial up the modem and chat lol
I had one of the original AOL admins in my circle of friends back then. He would spam us with the AOL CDs at my office in the Pentagon.
I haven't been on irc for years now. Who knows - I could still have ops myself in #hack if it still exists.
Nice!
Remarkable !
came here to say this :)
