Never seen that website before but lost myself reading random pastas there for a while.

Thanks!

I used to check it when it was active and they were adding things to the Top 100-200 quotes, and now I check it for nostalgia. Still makes me laugh all these years later.

The joke was that if you typed your password into chat, then chat would add ***** for everyone else but still show you your own password.

So for instance if I type my password out ******** it will show as just *s to you because it's auto censored by the system since it's my password. But it wont censor it for me since it knows that I already know my own password. You can test it by typing out your password. You'll see your own password but everyone else will just see *'s

I'm very confused by the site, is it just people posting fake conversations?

These are old IRC chats, a kind of Hall of Shame for public conversations... before social media really perfected the art.

Pretty sure it was supposed to be funny chatroom logs?
