Stopped by a new coffee shop downtown and the owner had a whole wall of old chat logs printed out

It was this place called The Daily Grind on 5th Street. They framed actual conversations from an old online forum, which I guess was the original 'chatter lounge' from the 90s. It made me think, what's the oldest online community you've been a part of that's still around?

My old Neopets account from 2002 is somehow still active (I check it once a year for the nostalgia). The forums there were my first real taste of an online hangout, and it's wild that the whole site is still technically up and running.

That's some serious digital archaeology, lol. I'm surprised the servers haven't turned to dust.

No way, they printed out actual chat logs? That's like putting your AIM away messages in a museum, I'd die. @river320, you still having a Neopets account is a whole different level of commitment, I could never remember my old login. My oldest is probably my Runescape character from like 2005, but I haven't logged in for years. Seeing that old forum stuff on a wall is a crazy blast from the past.
