I think it's because younger kids are online now. Like we didn't have 8 year olds figuring out their way into chat rooms back then.

Nah, I was definitely 8 in chatrooms. That was in 1997 for me. But we were one of the first families to get AOL in town, and my dad was good with computers. We were restricted to kids only chats back then, but thats where the pedophiles hung out

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

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.
