older people have seen it plenty of times already

Spot on. My journey is Usenet->various early web forums->Slashdot->Digg->Reddit, and now I'm here. Been doing this for over 25 years haha.

Going to guess you were cruising BBS, FTP, and Telnet sites? I was just an ignorant preteen coding Qbasic garbage trying to learn programming on my Dad's PC that year. When I read back on Internet history I was a little surprised it was already so active when most people weren't even aware of it yet.

At least now I know how Dad got all them free DOS games.
