Anyone remember the PPML and the chatroom, I was there mostly around 1997 but was on and off since? I have been on and off that and the org ever since, sometimes a lot sometimes hardly at all.

Were you there and if so what was your username if you have since changed it?!

I was 'Freaker' back then!

I was on AMP. I might have seen PPML, but don't remember much.

Cool - I actually preferred the design of the PPML to the .Org looked nice and sleek in black and gold!

AMP - I never seemed to be able to work out how to use Newsgroups, I was new to the internet then.

Jah.

Since Hammer's chat actually.

^ Oh yes I remember Hammer...is he still about? The address was something . togdog.com wasn't it?!

Yeah. The html addresses could be ridiculously long those days, so I don't remember what it was exactly. I think Hammer got pissed off by Prince for one reason or another and just went AWOL (it might have been due to some of the early internet copyright disputes). Once the chat was gone people briefly used other chat rooms (like the Holy River chatroom).

hammer OMG...my days at CSUF

wow

^ Were u still 'BobGeorge99' then too?

-I have never in my life ever experienced jealousy towards anyone.

-But when I hear about all the great Prince stuff from back in the day,

-I get jealous at the emotion, because how I wished i was in all that back then.

Count me in - I was "gold" back then.

I started 5 days after you did.

I had dial-up back in the day, so I didn't participate. I'd just lurk when it finally finished loading.

I used to read AMP, too.

I was on PPML as princesslisa, though I was mostly a lurker. I was new to the web but at least I was alive in the 90s. Though I am glad to see the younger folks getting into P.

1998 here.

1996. when the chatroom opened. and the actual PPML and PML and AMP before that.
