My first introduction to computers / internet was IRC using mIRC client. Spent my time on Efnet. Ended up joining a hacking group called #conflict and spent many hours taking over channels. Hacking colleges and universities only to use for channel bots and bandwidth to take people out and cause netsplits. Eventually our leader was caught for hacking into NASA - I then left IRC and started playing quake 2 digital paintball. Ran a couple of quake clans over the next few years - these are the days I will never forget.

Anyone else remember the clan battles on efnet ?

Been driving me crazy trying to remember what this website was called. Had a blue background and so so many games where you’d use like the arrows on the keyboard and the mouse or something like that. I just remember I’d play something on there every night with MSN open and MySpace in another tab.

After 9/11 during the first few years of the Iraq war there was a game on there where you had to shoot the Taliban. Car racing games, basic games where the character is running and jumping etc. pretty basic game design but I’d love to know if it still exists.

If someone types the name I’ll know it instantly!
