I remember the days we used to leave each other voicemails.

I don't fully understand all the tech references in that thread. What was a Message centre number and how did you all cope before Whatsapp?

 

[ButterTart]

I still don’t know what DAF means...

When I was little only one person on the entire street had a phone, and you’d all take it in turn breaking into their house to ring nudey women hotlines. And Twitter was nowhere near as fun when it was basically just carrier pigeons with a bit of paper saying ‘kill urself cunt’ tied around their ankles.
Kids these days don’t know they’re bloody born.

ARE YOU SLOW?

Back in those days I think they were just aggressive-aggressive. These days you can even send them physical threats via carrier pigeon without having the police called on you.

It makes perfect sense in context.

God remember the days of PHONE CREDIT.

 

[Lucille]

HOW DIM ARE YOU THEN?

 

[ButterTart]

God remember the days of PHONE CREDIT.

I remember having to ring R-E-V-E-R-S-E like Holly Valance told me to whenever I wanted to speak to someone.

God remember the days of PHONE CREDIT.

It seems ABSURD. And paying for internet by the megabyte.

Even having a proper limit on a plan seems absurd to me now.

It was 10p/MB! I remember burning through all my credit trying to get porn on my WAP phone.

My first mobile phone was not only PAYG but had a monthly charge too (which I had to pay using PAYG).

At least I got 10% off the cards as I was working at Tesco.

In fairness, there was a lot of direct aggression as well.

 

[lolly]

oh, we covered that

Late for work. Woke in good time, but simply couldn't be arsed.

I once burned through my credit and had to pay about £10 in overuse charges for watching Alexandra Burke's Start Without You on mobile data

 

[Iguana]

I guess it was like a fine for bad taste

Was it WORTH IT though?

Moopy used to scare me

I’m glad you all got older and mellowed out a bit chatting about fruit AND vegetables x

Nowadays the user base mainly are FRUITS and VEGETABLES.

Sorry love, I’m only a pretty face, and even that is unsightly this morning

NO. Actual footage of me when I saw my phone bill:

 

[octophone]

IIRC, "DAF" was the chord sequence to a song - I'm assuming it was Dminor and Aminor but I don't remember what song it was.

 

[octophone]

What was the name of the poster who was quite obviously grooming her? I want to say Tommy but I also don't want to libel anyone...

 

[COB]

Lots of chat about a Tommy in that linked topic, and people saying she was fourteen and he was in his thirties? Vile

 

[octophone]

That were him right enough then. Fucking weirdo.

 

[Indie]

And still we didn't ban him for a while.

 

[SDF]

I’d like a note from the admins at the time to apologise for this

I think it would be fine for the current admins to apologise on their behalf

 

[Iguana]

Like when the UK government casually apologies every so often for a past genocide or two

REVOLTING.

 

[big ron]

140 character SMS messages typed out on a 1 line screen with no way of scrolling back if you wanted to make a change AND they were 50p each

I got a contract phone at 18 and then went to Ibiza and used it wantonly (because it was TRI BAND) and then got a £600 bill I never paid.
