Hotline was pretty exciting. Did anyone else here get involved with this? [0]

Back when broadband had just hit Seattle I ran a server on an old PowerPC

IA paraphrased quote from a user:

> I am actually signed to TVT records but it this server’s contents that enables my creativity.

These days I pay for everything, but that testament to digital freedom sticks with me.

Hotline is still up :) Now we use KDX, Pitbull Pro and a few others, but it's still around. Check out Preterhuman.

I'm actually logged into an hl server as we speak! (Higher Intellect) .. Still some of my favorite internet memories. I still insist my fast typing speed is due to chatting for hours and hours every night on there :)


Yes! Hotline was wild.

I agree to delete all backups within 24 hours as per the internet act signed by Bill Clinton.
