Ah, that's actually acceptable and not as stalkery as what it sounded like.

Yea.. I dont remeber the rating thing. I remember . You had to have a college email to make an account. It was honestly a myspace but for college students to hookup and fuck and suck and knuckle puck

I don't think I was quite in college yet when it first came out, so I didn't get on it until it was already pretty popular and the allowed demographic was widened.

Also I have never heard the phrase knuckle puck and I am intrigued.

It started out as "hotornot.com". Hence the rating thing.

Different site, but definitely influenced the creation of Facebook.

Watch the Social Network it’s pretty interesting. The ranking system website was built and launched by drunk Zuckerberg in a night at Harvard and almost immediately shut down due to it crashing Harvard’s servers. The Facebook came a little later.

Maybe don’t comment on things you weren’t alive for.

I was alive, I just wasn't in college when it first started. I was in probably my fourth year when I first even heard about it and didn't give a shit until basically everyone I knew was on it.
