MikeyT00: Yeah but the lunacy was very mid-2000's. Plenty of people making edgy and offensive jokes and calling everything gay but no one was vaulting into conspiracy laden rants about Bush. You could also report people to a GM, who wasn't just a bot, and they'd get banned if it they were going over the top.

i just want zoomers to know that computers were actually useful once. before the iphone/ipad/android/chromebook, computers ran software that was just like a program that did what it was supposed to do. also the internet used to have a lot of cool stuff on it that didn't give you an anxiety disorder

We had a Metaverse but it was called World of Warcraft and it was actually fun to be in.

I tried to recapture that when classic came out in 2019. The second I stepped into stormwind it was a bunch of people going on a tirade about Trump and some Qanon madness. I cancelled my sub that night. That shit didn't happen in 2005. It was just silly nonsense and people taking it all to seriously

Barrens chat circa 2007 was a vortex of madness, but also everyone was functionally illiterate, so i suppose it doesn't quite hit the same
