    Back in the AOL days you would hang out in the Warez chat room, and you would subscribe to download files using email as the delivery. Chat for a few minutes and then next time you log in. You’ve got files!

        For me it started in AOL, once banned for taking over the Disney chat I then learned about IRC and from there I learned of usenet. Been usenet ever since.
