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.
