Ah man, the old IRC days were something else. Unchecked piracy, access to just about everything anyone could want, but then you also had unsolicited DMs with cp. And if you dropped your firewall for even a minute, you'd be cleaning up virus infections because Windows 95/98 practically invited people inside.
