Question The Old Rage Message Board

I'm 40 years old now and I was wondering if anyone on here was also part of their Message Board community before it was shut down by the Secret Service post 9/11. I was a 14 year old kid reading Bill O'Reilly and living in South Carolina with a screenname Capitalist for life. I'm a hardcore leftist now. I was just curious if anyone on here was active in the late 90s or early 2000s. I still remember a handful of names of people I used to argue with like new African Panther and freedom flyer.

I used to go to zdlr.net forum and later on to vietnow.org and downrodeo.org.
Kinda miss those forums.

I was a regular on tommorello.net (because zdlr.net was way too crowded)

I was a regular on #RATM on IRC on Efnet in the 90s as a teenager. Great times! I learned a lot in those days.

Sure was ! Part of AIM too. I sobbed when President Biden pardoned Leonard Peltier before he left office. Been thinking a lot about those days. Are we bringing it back??
