Do you all remember this typical conversation on the old chatrooms and forums:
You: Hey Raven2999 iz hear evrybud!!!
[You click send and watch it show up on the screen only to discover you just posted into a flame war about God and Hindus. Thankfully Raven2999 is not involved]
[You wait...Three minutes go by...you get coffee]
Raven2999: Wuz kikt of. What you say? Are you there?
[You return with coffee after Raven writes. Raven starts new conversation with a person name Sloppy101]
You: hoqw r u Rave?
[Your question shows up after Raven begins conversation about weather with Sloppy101.]
Raven2999: hutas hell here slop.
Sloppy101: Raven, it's raining cats&dugxZ her.
You: hoqw ru Rave?
Sloppy101: Are u stil online Rav?
Raven2999: Huh?
You: Sunny here
Sloppy101: I sed it's rannning here.
You: I know :)
[Raven drops out again because of a phone call. You continue weather conversation with Sloppy101 and a few others. Each post takes 2 minutes to respond because no one can figure out what anyone is saying. You go over in your AOL account and find the bill at the end of the month is $65. Phone bill is over $200 because nearest connection is outside your area code.]
