Ahh… Hanging with friends gathered around a PC and trolling pedos on AIM. So weird that age, sex, and location were the primary opening lines of communication for a while. Even stranger that creepy dudes in their 40s were so honest about it while trying to pick up kids on the Internet.
Was that a pedo thing? I always assumed it was just teenagers.
Parents certainly thought it was a pedo thing, and while there certainly were some nefarious adults it was mostly just teenagers.
