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

Now I'm nostalgic for IRC.

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

Reminds me of old XBL trolling where people set their in game name to "Xbox Off" so people would say the name out loud and turn their console off.

Must have been an Xbox One with Kinect thing.

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

Thanks!

They make me laugh though.

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.
