I remember there was this chat room when someone unloaded her most traumatic life event she ever experienced out of the blue. I guess it embarrassed her intensely since she left the room every time I came in and no, I actually tried to comfort her but I suppose my knowing about it made my presence awkward. I don't blame her in the least.
There was also this program, Microsoft Comic Chat where your chat remarks were displayed in a comic format. Your remarks were in a thought balloon emoted by your chosen character and the whole chat looked like a newspaper comic strip. I really liked that and used to chat with other people voraciously on that thing but it went out of favor and got discontinued. I wish there was still something like that.
That was during a time when Microsoft was still innovative and not evil.
