Ok, a friend of mine (waves a Mim) passed this link to me and it gave me lots of nostalgia, for the times before The September That Never Ended…I know I’m an old timer, but…damn, those were good times…no spam, few newbies that came online slowly enough to be educated by the old timers before being let out into the general population….I guess I’m just an old man lol!
Anyway, this thread is weird, a mix up of a lot of stuff, but it’s the thread where most old timers think smilies were born…so, it’s worth looking at it, even if it’s only for nostalgia’s sake :)
Bboard Thread where :-) was born.

Dang… 82? I thought I was an early adopter (90 or 91) but not even close.
I had always wondered who did it first (online). Good link!
