blacknet has been around for years. Even when the net first started. There is so much more to the internet than google and firefox. I have a friend who is into this shit for the thrill. He has told me so many stories and has showed me so many things that can be done. He has his own custom proggies and shit.

I've been using IRC since 9th grade (first year i had the intarweb on my own computer )

Before my school clamped down on DCC file transfers i was all over IRC for files. It was the only place to find good dreamcast games before BT got big.
