Haha "a/s/l". Wtf. I can't believe that was ten years ago. Used to meet up with people from ICQ and IRC and sometimes i'd see the chick and she'd look totally different from the photo and i'd hide and just dog it.
But yeah, anyway, welcome to the forums man. Have you got a VR-4?
OT but i met a chick online once, on an old online game... met her in person after talking for a month, she looked alot better than the picture! bloody gorgeous. still talk to her 8 years later LOL
