What was the website? I just had books in '95 and later, Geocities wasn't great for chat, IRC and network news groups were the best places to get help

The web was pretty small in the '90s

I spent my time in newsgroups in role playing game flame wars

Go to any linux forum or help site today and you can experience it right now.

"Oh, someone had the same problem" as I see forum thread in search results, followed by finding out that thread turned into a gaslighting session on why OP's problem wasn't actually a problem, and no solution was provided as result. 🌝
