One time I posted my ass on a forum. A woman was posting her tits and I said my ass had more cleavage than her. She called me out. I posted. She deleted her account after being made fun of by everyone in the subreddit.

It then got reposted on reddit best of. So at least 2 separate groups of people laughed at my ass/that woman.

Even got my own thirsty message which was different.

I appreciated the confidence boost this gave me. But now my ass is out there. Maybe you’ve seen it?

What’s a dumb thing you did online?

No ragrets tho

    I co-owned a semi popular console ROM and PC piracy site as a teenager with two others. While it was a lot of fun especially in the forum and I made a lot of cool friends, it was very risky in hindsight. I’m amazed we never even got C&D emails before we lost interest in the project once life got busy.

    Basically it was direct download for ROM files while PC games and console ISO were shared on the forum in the Warez-bb styling. This grew the active daily forum users rapidly at the time who then stuck around to yap.

        I had a twenty gig warez ftp site for a few years. At the time the average hard drive was 1 gig. It was on a T1. 1.5Mbps was Lightning fast.

      Ah, my teenage hero. Good chance I direct downloaded something; the Internet was so much better back then, lol.

        Possibly you did! Discoverability was easier back then too, people were still using ROM site link lists. We’d add ourselves to all of them manually and then we slowly crawled up Google’s page ranking passively! Now most everyone (not counting anyone reading this comment) has an allergic reaction to a social hub not owned by a corporation.
