I guess that's how facebook statuses are these days!</p> <p>@travelingbrit: I think it would be weird to go into a chat room these days, but I do believe they exist (I am going by the creepy chats I see in episodes of Criminal Minds). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489384 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:19:57 +0000 birdofafeather 489384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friends and I would have sleepovers and chat in America Online chat rooms when we were in JH and HS. Then in college, everyone left their computers on with AIM going and away messages with where they were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489378 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:17:46 +0000 wheres_c 489378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Loved AOL chat! The internet has changed so much. There's more useful information out there now, but less interacting with strangers. I used to go to chat rooms all the time.<br /> Do they even still exist? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489362 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:10:59 +0000 Bao 489362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I remember AOL. Yeah I spent some time on there in middle school mostly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489359 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:10:16 +0000 MapleMoose 489359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to but I had to share the computer with my brothers so my parents would set the timer and we each got one hour of online time after our homework was finished.<br /> Needless to say I spent a lot of time playing outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489355 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:09:51 +0000 Pepper 489355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad signed me up for an AOL account when I was 7... right after it came out! He had me on the "kids only" section and I had a few pen pals over email. Seems very unsafe now, haha. Pretty sure I got bored with that, and moved on to using AIM almost constantly through middle school and high school (and part of college before Facebook exploded). I miss AIM and the dramatic/funny away messages, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-spend-all-your-time-on-aol-back-in-the-day#post-489327 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 15:57:20 +0000 tororojo 489327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In high school I spend countless hours chatting and messaging people on AOL, mostly people I didn't know IRL since lots of folks didn't regularly get on the internet yet. Chatting is how I learned to type quickly; I think I would pick keys really slowly if not for that time in my life. Anyone else have a former love for AOL chat? Did you spend tons of time perfecting your profile and selecting the right screen name? Good times! </p>
