I used to love those old AOL rooms...they were kicking back when I first got online in 1998. I met some good online friends there...I’m still in an email loop with two of them, one of whom is a longtime Freeper.
The politics and religion rooms were fun....chairs were always flying in those.
Reminds me of a caller on Rush Limbaugh about 20 years ago. This woman was discussing some political issue and Rush asked where do you get this information? She said “The AOL chatrooms last night! Weren’t you on there?” Rush said no I wasn’t on AOL!
Yes, I really liked them too. Townhall used to have a really nice one back in the day.
