It was extremely popular! There was an endless supply of VB6 bas files that you could cobble together your own progz with, so the bar of entry was pretty low. Hell, I had the AOL 3.0 client with admin tools installed (star tool, and rainman?) when I was like 14? You could dig around staff pages and see warez uploaded to random hijacked keywords. It's amusing to think back at how hilariously insecure the entire platform was. Really crazy in retrospect. I made so many friends then, don't know what you have until it's gone.
