So what did this 'Lou' character do that's made people remember him so much later?

And wasn't that the same place Mani used to post? lol.

He was just the typical bragging teenager. He used to go on and on about all the women he always had coming over to his parents' house to sex him up. That, of course, would lead to insult wars. No one ever believed anyone would sex up Lou.

I think he was accused of producing the classic "Hey Hannigan". Not sure, maybe someone remembers that better than I do.

But anyway, he was obnoxious but in the way that you wanted to laugh at him.

The cherry on top, though, was someone posting his picture. I assume it was him, I don't ever remember him denying it. The picture cracked me up. He wasn't ugly or weird or anything like that - it was the expression on his face.

Imagine what expression you would make if your mother came up on you from behind while you were masturbating to an old Penthouse spread, and you turned around and saw her standing there. THAT is the expression that was on his face.

I tried to find that pic on Google but no luck. Man, if someone has it, post it!

Yes, a long time ago. Traded boots out there as well. About 90% of the content appeared to be people insulting each other.

Prince's ex (Manuela) was looking for bootlegs before she hooked up with Prince through working at PP. I'm sure some of the old timers have those posts.

They didn't have the interweb in prison back then.

I was on there. I remember some guy named "T" as well. Seemed to know everything. Was that Funkenberry?

yup

Ok so who exactly was/is the infamous "T" and why did he have so many bootlegged songs? I remeber Rhastus (Time devotee) and Rude Dog and some others.

Yup, I used to post there. I used to get into it with a poster named "Hassassin". My bad for some of the more vitriolic posts directed at that poster back then. Still, it was a great forum.

I only got one bootleg from T, but it was the best bootleg ever. Mostly "Charade"-era stuff. Still have the cd in a special place at home so that it never gets lost since it's the best version I've heard of some of those tunes.

Also got "Crystal Ball II" through it back in the day.

Lastly, shout out to Kathy and LoveSexy DC!!!

No. But I miss the Royal Hub desperately. When i found that...well those were the WTF?! days online. Good times.

Do you remember PPML?

PPML had an awesome moderator. Used to fix tyops etc.

And what was the UUCP thing called?

I do indeed.

T used to call me Beanie Boy -- very cool posts, he was the best thing on AMP with perhaps some others I won't name.

I posted here and there on AMP back in the day.

Yep, I was there too.... Not sure about my handle at the time. Probably my real name, or else AzifWeKare.

I remember T. I, also, remember that he had some great sounding bootlegs BUT he tampered with them as a way of marking them. Like purposely switching left and right speaker tracks, etc...

I was Shockadelica and 7779311 through the years.

I still want Hammer's page to make a comeback. All hail the Hammer. Nothing beat a late night stint, wait for 10 minutes on 14k dial up for the page to load.

Yep, long, long ago.
