It was like 2006 or so when i started hearing that terminology. LinuxCounter was still a thing, and no-ip offered dynamic dns like something.homelinux.net or something.homeunix.net. eMule (aMule on gnu/linux) was still going strong and after school I was spending most of my afternoon either chatting with my gf of the time using aMSN or playing Tremulous on-line. Flamming on internet forums (phpBB ftw) was funny and harmless to pretty much all the people involved (no real names involved, no consequences in real life). Good times.
