That's absolutely what got me into programming.
As silly as "progs" were, it catalyzed me to learn the Windows API, how to find and share code online, and how to build my first website (for the purpose of sharing my AOL code). It even gave me my first experience working with a remote team.
Now I run a web design and programming shop, with one of my best friends who stayed up on weekends with me "hacking" AOL in middle school.
(SN was EatenByCow, was a member of "Unity" if that rings any bells.)
