I've been online since '92, and never even heard of the site before.

  I started shortly before that, and also have not been exposed. Judging by the reactions, I'll choose to remain blissfully ignorant.

    Curiosity seared an indelible image into the kitten's eyes. It wished it had been killed.

    Somewhat interesting. I bet you'll find most folks who started just a few years after you would find your lack of knowlege of rotten.com amazing. And conversely you likely represent the majority of your cohort as well. I started in 1994, and I don't know how I could have avoided rotten.com a couple years later. It was just the social circle you "hung out with" online I'm guessing. It was almost a gross-out form of rick rolling, if nothing else. We certainly share an Internet generation, but we likely are in fairly distinct cohorts simply due to a few years difference. You probably had a much different social network than I did, even if we were the same "irl" age. I find this topic somewhat interesting, the vastly differing online experiences people had just within a 10 year timeframe is pretty amazing looking back at it.

  WWW user since NCSA Mosaic (1993?). Net user since 1984. Have successfully avoided rotten.com for all that time.
