I remembered back in the day cruising around different chat room on mIRC and getting kicked and banned with the message Potty Mouth for saying "it's a bit chilly" about the weather.... Took me so long to work out their shit filter picked up (bit ch)illy

At an old, job our systems couldn't accept Scunthorpe as a location. Always got a chuckle.

Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.

Thanks!

I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.

These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.

The joke was that if you typed your password into chat, then chat would add ***** for everyone else but still show you your own password.

So for instance if I type my password out ******** it will show as just *s to you because it's auto censored by the system since it's my password. But it wont censor it for me since it knows that I already know my own password. You can test it by typing out your password. You'll see your own password but everyone else will just see *'s

I'd be inclined to agree.... But I've had conversations like these, if not publicly.

This one about not being able to find a machine (http://bash.org/?5273) is relatable if you've ever had to trace cable in a rat's nest of a server closet.
