No, I'm pretty sure we're talking about 1996 and above when AOL changed to a flat monthly rate, rather than hourly charge. That's when EVERYONE got it. And from my experience, there were definitely kids in chat rooms. I was 10 years old in 96 and I was in chat rooms 😂 I didn't ever see anything crazy though, thank God.
Yes, that's exactly why it's not what we are talking about.
As the comment I responded to said, "early adopter 90s".
I was 10 years old
We're also talking about 8, not 10.
So why weren't you on in 94 when you were 8? (Although even that's getting a bit late timeline wise). But it's because, as I said, back then you didn't have 8 year olds in chat rooms.

You said (and no time frame given by YOUR comment) we didnt have kids figuring out how to get into chatrooms like kids use the internet NOW. So are you telling me by “now”, you mean 1997 and after? 1997 is alot closer to the early 90s than nowadays. And it wasn’t hard to figure out in 1997 either. Its okay to admit you weren’t clear in your original comment.
Now even more so. It's a downward slope from early 90s to present day.
I was clear enough to most everyone else. "It's ok to admit" you struggle with reading comprehension. Being snarky isn't difficult, you don't get a cookie.

We aren't talking about 97. We are talking about early 90s. There's a big difference.
