And Stanhope sent you there? Did you mix it up with any of these future sell-outs legends?
Literally from the 80s?



I think it began in 1979. Most ISPs had a NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol) server so you could access newsgroups with your favorite newsreader software. AOL had them built in to their bloated software, like the they did with the chats and web browser. You could even download files through it. It was the easiest place to pirate things before P2P and torrents.

I was on it way before the comedy shit. Since it was provided by the ISP, you could only get in trouble if someone reported it to them. Newsgroups were not moderated. So some would subscribe to a third party NNTP. I remember using a service called Altopia, founded by a former Microsoft employee and free speech absolutist. It was the Kiwi Farms of service providers, only it's run by an actual functioning human being who was not ostracized by the tech industry. It recently shut down due to lack of subscribers.

This short video explains it all.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

"Usenet (/ˈjuːznɛt/) is a worldwide distributed discussion system available on computers. It was developed from the general-purpose Unix-to-Unix Copy (UUCP) dial-up network architecture. Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis conceived the idea in 1979, and it was established in 1980........
.....In 2008, ...........shut down access to sources of child pornography....."

AOL chats had even more pedos. Every kink you can imagine had some type of newsgroup. Furries, trannies, BDSM, swingers....

The AOL shit I didn't hear about until a few years back from I think Barry Crimmins trying to get it shut down. Wacky shit. Nana must have hated Barry.

AOL apparently had a lot of private unlisted child porn chat rooms in addition to the unfiltered access to the child porn devoted Usenet bulletin boards. You could be in a visible public music chat room in the 90s and creepy dudes would spam people with child porn. I remember being in an AOL Super Nintendo chat room when I was 11 or so and being sent pictures of 13-16 year old girls spreading box and pictures of women blowing horses. It was a very weird time with how easily accessible that vile stuff was despite the pictures taking ten minutes to download before you even knew what someone sent. Nana always referred to the internet of the 90s as the “Wild West“ due to her child porn addiction. Compuserve also had the same issues of creepy pieces of shit sharing CP. Anthony Cumia and all other child porn producers & consumers should be burned at the stake.
