Crimes of Passion

[Recidiva]

Not back then they didn't, there were almost no laws regarding online activities.
I knew one of the people involved in drafting some of it and they didn't even start really working on it until mid 1980's and that was all commerce stuff.

I have no idea how programmers learn the cool stuff these days, everything from back then is now a felony.

Most people couldn't even get online, very few people had access to computers. It was a very smart, very sharp community. It was assumed only an intelligent adult would gain access or at least gain an "in" into the more adult content. Everybody thought that their filtering process was sufficient to detect the kids.

However, there were at least seven kids who confessed their age to me and everybody else thought they were adults.

When I had the opportunity, I drew him away from sexual content and toward gaming content. Roleplaying, killing things.

It was the only way I felt I could intervene and help him out.

You're lying...or were lying in the previous posts. Which one is it?

Well, he was one of the guys I was messing around with at the same time, probably one in six. One was probably twice my age, two or three were about my age.

I tried, but he still went his own way a virgin, evangelist Republican and Christian.

I can't work miracles, just provide fun company.

You are awesomeness incarnate.

i wonder if this really happened.Twenty years ago,hmm there was just dial up.Everyone didn't have a computer as they now do. Internet was charged by the minute. I doubt back them parents were paying high rates for their kids to be online chatting and gaming. It doesn't ring true to me. Just a reader's opinion

"messing around with" and "fooling around with" also have sexual connotations, and with the adults I did have a sexual relationship. Ask Ulaven, he was there. He was one of them.

However, "messing around" and "fooling around" in a game sense can also mean "going out and killing shit together" or "roleplaying together"

And if you think the word "virgin" is unclear, look it the fuck up.

Yes, let me start posting personal information, that won't get me in any trouble at all. *glare*

You have nothing to fear, unless you are an attorney-at-law, in which case Ishmael will refer you to your local bar association for disciplinary action if you happen to disagree with his political opinions.

The rules here are VERY clear on this.

Butters is my bard. Anybody wants to know the story, she's got it.

I am not posting it here is it is against site guidelines.

See the problem here?

Now do "I tried."

A date rapist defending a pedo. No surprise here.

This might be one of the better posts in this thread.

Actually, no. If you got in early, people had no sense of what things cost. The game was $30 a month for unlimited use to begin with. It was TSN, The Sierra Network, the game was Shadow of Yserbius. That is entirely checkable. There were plenty of people who also got thousands of dollars of bills in charges they didn't expect to get.

They changed the rate to hourly later and everyone took off to MUDs. The people who got in early got an easy ride for a long time though.

I would hear the confessions because I had gamer parties and people wanted to go and would say "I really want to go, but I'm 14. Please tell them I'm in Hawaii at a convention, I'm supposed to be a dentist."

Everybody talked on the phone and met each other, so it was a conversation to have about why someone's voice is going to sound like the wrong gender or the wrong age, but they would still like to talk.

It was mostly extraordinarily privileged kids whose parents already had a setup they used for work, but who also left the house a lot. Parents knew nothing about it. "You want to go online and play hearts with people? Sure!"

Hm. Keep my mouth shut or talk to Ishmael about my legal future.

Pass.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Oh. Okay, I guess. Although Bob seemed to have no problem tossing the info out there...

Poor judgment has been one of the few constants in my life.

Rob can apparently say anything he wants. It's mystifying but part of his charm.

It's part of my awesomesauce.... the women want to see me, the men want to be me.

okay....raise your hand if you just threw up in your mouth a little....

Did KRC come up on your alert and draw you in?

I know you have a case of the sads as well. Your threesome with Sonny just is not the same anymore huh?

I read it without irony.

It's plausible. Your stock's gone up with me.

I have been online since 1975 when I used to write programs that would trick my boyfriend at another school into thinking he was logging on and capture his password and change it

The operators at the local university whose computers we used via terminal and paper tape readers used to play games with us and encourage us to do stuff we couldn't do anymore

In hindsight, a bunch of male grad students playing online games with a bunch of girls in uniform? We were always warned about the boys at the local boy's school and the frat parties but never the university computer operators.

Oh for God's sake. You deserve zero explanation from me. No matter what I put out there you're just going to twist it into something disgusting because it had to go through your brain to get out.

Fuck off.

Some just got in and added more minutes to our accounts... just saying and that was in 1975. The internet was educational and military then as I remember.

 

[Recidiva]

point Sonny.

You don't get shit.

And it couldn't possibly have been the parts about being Republican and Christian in that convenient quote, could it?

Naaaah.

Let's just decide. Giving another human being you dislike a break is too much like work.

only paper cuts, but it was much better than those stupid card readers.
