WBS.net - were you a regular?

had to google what it was !

yes I was on username was Shiso.

I was a regular there... just hadn't looked for anyone else any time recently.

Did you go to the RP rooms or did you hang out in the other rooms?

NO WAY! I was a regular on WBS.net! My name was ProudestMonkey9 (everyone called me PM9) and I chatted cooonstantly on Young Writers Club and sometimes in Edgewise Cafe. This was all back when I was 16. Oh man......good old days!! Anyone else? I'd love to find some old friends!

I used to RP there all the time as MagusMcCormick, had a little RP club too called Azeroth

Yeah I kinda remember that room, I really wish we could have gotten all the code and some backups from before the Disney/Go Takeover cause those rooms were amazing... they never had issues and seemed to be coded just right... there's other places now but none of them seem to really be at quite the same level.

I mean Tenshadows/Nails, IWT, and a few of the other big name rooms went to WorldBroadcastingSystem.net and a few others went to whispering realms and some others went elsewhere. and none of the communities went to any one or the other its quite sad... we over at worldbroadcastingsystem.net are trying to get wbs.net back from the snipers who bought that when it was sold off by Disney/Go...

Yarp. They called me Drakkhen I was the first to carry that name on WBS everyone else had numbers on the end of the name LOL.

I hung out in 20something. I still have multiple ppl that I'm intouch with. Since the golden era of WBS.

Mean while Lifes good I'm not 20something anymore

A few years ago someone took over the WBS.NET domain they opened up a forum. The bandwidth killed the pocket book. I'm still around... Still kept my low numbered ICQ. Still get messages from the lost world. too bad WBS.NET isn't around anymore we are still

Whoa, this brings me back.

I was 15 or so when I started going on WBS. I think that was my first non-AOL message board.

Yes! I was a regular on WBS.NET as "Chess613" and earlier as "HOPE VI" .. I loved WBS, it was a great alternative to the AOL chatrooms, for the primary reason: you can post pictures next to your chats as it scrolled down! I think it was my first foray into the real internet, instead of being locked down by AOL - this was a whole new world, and it helped me understand the internet had limless possibilities.

I loved chatting on WBS and I was sad to see it disappear almost immediately, I think around 1998 or 1999. But I have fond memories.

Wbs---I was there

I use to chat in the rooms Penpals, Have A Friend, Thirty Something Terrace, and Social Singles. I went by 2 different handles I started out with the name IMNRA and later switched or to Guyver01. I net a lot of interesting people and often wonder where everyone went. I and now on Pogo.com and there I go by the handle JohnBlackstarP. Check out pogo sometime and play some games while your there.

Oh hell yeah I was

I was there and met Distcoyote (usually on one of the music forums) ... my name on there was Ebow69 I think? I also got to meet Miss Lucyfer on there!

Young'uns!

When you start out with the talk(1) or ytalk(1) command, or Ewtoo based talkers, then we'll talk.

BL.

I had to make an account just to reply. lol Hell yeah I was a reg. no one would most likely remember me I had WAY to many names. I'd say Tatto was my most popular. Although everyone would always call me Mike.

and someone is trying to bring the site back currently http://classic-wbs.net its set up just as it used to be. Im still trying to find people I remember. a few off the top of my head. =p

I go back. No doubt many of the machines I worked on are on this map.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6e/Arpnet-map-march-1977.png

Lots of PDP10, PDP11, DECSystem10's and 20's in that map. Used to work for DEC from the 70s to the 00s. If you could have seen some of the stuff I worked on in the labs in the 80s & 90s. It's a shame that DEC managed it all away.

Definitely!!! wbs brings back so many good memories!!!
I used to be fallenangel256 but I can't remember on which chat rooms I used to hang out...I do remember a boy to whom I spent most of my time talking to, his nickname (handle back then!) was clutter69 and he lived in Ontario, Canada...

Wbs

I have such fond memories of WBS. My handle was Hadassah55. I had to sign up for this forum just because of this post so I used my old screen name.

I hung out in the Irish Room all the time even though I'm not Irish at all. This was my VERY FIRST Internet experience. The first email of my whole life, was the receipt for the sign-up at WBS.

I met my husband there!

YES!!! Way back in 1997, with a very slow dial up connection... but oh how fun it was to conncet with so many people!! I was Piolina or Piolina 28006 (not sure) and spent a lot of time in a Norway room. Also talked a lot with a guy from Canada. Fun times!

OMG I was looking up WBS Irish Meet to see if there were any of the old photos online somewhere and found this thanks to you Hadassah. I was Just Ivan and went exclusively to the Irish room. When I found this I had to sign up too just too post. I know its an old thread and I hope it sends replies to posters.
