The irc warez scene was an odd community. People showed up for the hacked software and stayed for the friendly banter.
Sounds like being buddies with your drug dealer
More like befriending the other customers in the drug dealer's waiting room.
More like hanging out at a swap meet, but with more trout slaps
Yeah, but you get the hacks first. Unlike having to watch 3 episodes of always sunny before you can leave with your dime bag of seeds and stems. ;)
I used to spend hours on Suprnova's IRC and they eventually made me a mod.
Yeah I hosted some apps because my “@home” service wasn’t capped at 128k, so I was getting 5mb up/down. Would spend a lot of idle time shooting the shit with people, lots of regulars.
