I recall talking to this super hot African girl and this American Asian girl I met on conquer online.. all the teenage titties i saw that I never screenshotted :(

MSN was great actually. Bloated as fuck but great.

>missed out on all of this because bad pcs and no permanent internet connection

g-good times right boys?

Don't understand why it isn't still in use desu. Surely the market is there for something at least similar, that can cross platform with your phone or something. And no, fucking Facebook "chat" is not an alternative.

>WOW user! You have the wireless controller?!
>Yes user but you can't use it, it's my brother's

I was lucky enough to live it on it's last few years

I saw your thread in Sup Forums you fucking msn shill.

i miss it so fucking much ;_;

>windows live

try msn you fucking faggot

I used to use the one that came with windows XP, it was super minimalist. Couldn't do any fancy shit but it wasn't bloated.

>Don't understand why it isn't still in use desu
They closed it down in 2012, user. They transferred everything to Skype.

>windows live messenger

why did they change it

Hahaha

>here bro, you can have the shitty maddogz or whatever controller that has some broken buttons
t-thanks...

This. Fuck facebook and whatsapp. Nothing compares to messenger. It's not just nostalgia... right?

Microsoft bought Skype and decided "let's close down this actually good and usable chat service so they have to move to this shitty unusable one"

Fuck yeah it was.
>could see what people were typing before they hit enter
>could draw doodles and send them
>the screenshake thing
The notification sound was better than skype's too

WAKE ME UP

I remember when MSN messenger introduced the sign in noises and you could use any part of a sound file for like 3 or 5 seconds. Shit was hilarious.

Could see what people were typinh before they hit enter?


how? I never saw this and i used amsn

The smileys were better too. I fucking hate it when Skype does that retarded smiley when someone types " :^) "

>11 years old
>Friend let me use the wireless controller for Ultimate muscle.
>Tells me we need to put it back carefully or his brother will get pissed.
>We put it back an hour before he gets home.
>I didn't put it back EXACTLY in the same way I found it.
>16 year old brother barges into friends room.
>Punches him in the side of the head.
>"Don't touch my shit, faggot!"
>I'm just sitting there
>Friend is completely knocked out.
>Mfw he had a concussion and his parents just told him not to touch the controller.

I mean, we shouldn't have used it. But holy shit.

I remember you could see it. I might be misremembering though

Why has nobody decided to restart msn or something similar? Would it be impossible to do?

...

>had the best friend I've ever had on msn
>talk everyday, make each other laugh
>get really close to him/her
>suddenly service stops working
>could never contact him again
/blog

I still use AIM to this day.

fuck

>you'll never have nudge wars again

i can smell my old house just by looking at that image

What is discord?

If you're asking "Why doesn't someone remake the exact same thing as before" then it's because everyone and their mother can do that and no one wants it.

wtf I had minor nostalgia over MSN just a few hours ago and now this thread...

All this MSN stuff made me remember the only two girls I've truly loved, I used to talk to them via Windows Live Messenger when I was 12-13.
They don't talk to me anymore, even if I try to get back to them it won't be the same. They probably have had several dicks inside at this point and that breaks me, I could've been the first dick at least for one of them.
It's been seven years and I still dream about them every now and then.

Why must you do this to me, Sup Forums?

Don't forget the custom ones.
It's just not the same without eye cancer coloured comic sans mixed with million mismatching letter emoticons.

>What is discord?

Nothing like msn?

>Nobody wants it.

Are you looking at the same thread as me user?

>get first gf and start talking to her through msn, staying up nights in grade 9

>tfw being so retarded that I put my retarded giant custom animated emoticons on single letters hotkey and everything I said was a fucking mess

holy shit, icq . The memories....

Sigh, old xfire was amazing
>ywn play halo custom edition and enemy territory with your old clan again

I still use the same codes I had for certain custom emojis and my friends get it. In fact some of them use them with me. like for example jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj meant pic related

> All those random people you used to call on skype with the squad and troll the living shit off
> All those little kids you scared the living shit out off
> all those old people that would switch off monitors thinking they dropped the call and you would hear them in the background call their kids telling what just happened

>hit 16
>suddenly my looks mature
>talk to about 10 different girls at a time, usually adding me over myspace

Highschool was good for me, although only about 2-3 girls were actually into me at school since I was a nerd before I matured.

>Used to play Guild Wars all day every day
>Best friend was some Filipino girl I met through mutual love of Ritualists
>Did literally everything together
>Always trying out new Ritualist builds and silly shit like getting to level 20 in Shing Jea without picking a secondary class
>Disappears one day never to log on again
>Still log on and check my friends list every once in a while even though I know it's hopeless
RIP Apple Ipod. I'll miss you.

Not him, but I'd say Discord is a pretty good replacement for MSN.

It's not literally the exact same thing, but it works hell of a lot better than Skype.

shit i used to download lots of kaoani and modify them myself to give them to my friends to use

smileys.smilchat.net/kaoani/red-antenna.php i loved these ones in particular

>2012
>get home drunk at 2 am after a get together
>don't wanna go to sleep just yet
>log into Badoo hoping some 4/10 will show me her boobs
>talk to a chubby ~40 year woman
>tell her I wanna see her boobs
>she tells me to add her on MSN
>I don't even have that shit installed anymore
>download it but installing it for some reason is way more complicated than it used to be
>she left


To this day, MSN messenger is still there every time I turn my computer on, even if I've uninstalled it. Shit will come up upon start and will crash if you open it, kek.

My friend and I used to spam the shit out of the nudge button on Windows Messenger.

muh reddit

>that fuck that had emojis for every letter

How more of a special snowflake could you be?

nigga you're on Sup Forums, of course you saw it there

Know that feeling.. Feeling the same feelings atm

>off

>inviting that girl you had a crush on to play tic tac toe

reddit didn't even exist you 12 years old faggot, I'm talking about more than 10 years ago

oh lord ive forgotten all about xfire

i remember i had tons of friends on that, i dont even know who they are now

all those russian hotties that just wanted someone to talk to and share CC numbers with

youtube.com/watch?v=WIZFS3SC_UE

Please look up at your address bar. Thank you.

>MSN
>Not using AIM

I know, dummy. It's called a joke.

The 00s were my teen years, I was kinda away from vidya (other than some snes and genesis every now and then) and mostly chasing pussy.
My gaming nostalgia is mostly the whole 90s decade.

Never played any MMO.

>although only about 2-3 girls were actually into me
>2-3
>ONLY 2-3
So you never knew the struggle of having that kid that was good at sports as your best friend while you were a little chubby.
Absolutely nobody would notice you, only him.

That was in elementary and he still gets loads of pussy while I'm still a virgin at 19.

Some things never change...

Literally me

also
>emojis
no

user 10 neckbeards on Sup Forums that would block ads and not buy anything does not constitute a userbase.

Accept that the world has moved on.

Man, whatever happened to all the girls named Chiara?

hahaha I had custom emojis for my friends names

You're an adult now faggot, forge your own path to pussy.

*HUGE FUCKING RIPPING SOUND*

>hey
*HUGE FUCKING RIPPING SOUND*
>lol
*HUGE FUCKING RIPPING SOUND*
>is that game god?
..

*HUGE FUCKING RIPPING SOUND*
>good*

Yeah I didn't know any of them personally but damn we had fun times playing together. Kind of makes me sad, nowadays fun like that is gone

Was anyone else apart of this group way back when???

Please tell me this is fucking bait. MSN ushered in the cancer era of IM.

there was a specific string of special characters that if you trolled somebody to put it as his name or status in msn it would completely shut it down and not even reinstalling worked, I don't even remember what you had to do to fix it

>I was only pretending to be retarded!

>friends always trying to nuke eachother from MSN by spamming emoticons
>tfw I never disabled emoticons and yet MSN never crashed

Everytime they came back saying "dude your pc is too powerful"

Remember gaming before season passes, pre-order DLC and 50GB updates?

Holy shit I remember that exact fucking sound lmao
Funny thing, I tried looking for it on YouTube a couple years ago and couldn't find anything.

>i never had fun

>get a random chat invite
>it's a ''''''''''''''''''girl'''''''''''''''''''''''''
>talk with her and get to know her
>suddenly wants to see my penis
>exchange nudes
>hers we obviously pulled from the net
>can't complain the conversations were fun

Pretty sure it was a guy. good times

I actually envy you, I'm 18 but I'm very into 3rd and 4th gen now thanks to emulation. It's incredible how different games were back then, like the developers had a different philosophy than now. It's like comparing hand-made craftsmanship with mass-produced industrial production (in terms of game design philosophy).

I also grew up with MMOs and shitty flash games on the web... you didn't miss anything at all. I have some nostalgia for them but only due to the memories and the people I played with, I wouldn't play those games again now.

If it makes you feel better there were no girls into me before that, except one and she was the 'joke' girl of the school and I dated her.

It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life, if I hadn't broken up with her and didn't develop I would have probably killed myself.

You're a retard. I'm sorry you cann't separate a "muh" joke contained in a spoiler from an actual insult.

>i am literally underage

i will forever hate myself for not using it.
you could even play actual games on the fucking chat, in real time and all.

i didnt even played unreal tournament with people god damn it.

why did i had to be so fucking antisocial and retarded.

>I never used IRC in its heyday

I am twenty you fucking faggot, I used msn when I was 13

Do you know how old that shit is

I only like virgins because I hate being compared to others though.
Finding a virgin girl at 19 is like finding a person without crippling depression here, it just won't happen. And underage girls are off the limits.

Also I like anime now so it's basically impossible. I'm starting to like 2D more than 3D, I'm beyond repair.

Is there any way to get these again?

>responding to bait
stop

>that asian online girlfriend

what a weird time that was

Just sleep with a girl that's done it before, it's not even that bad.

Taking someones viriginity is overrated, you both literally don't know what to do.

>had an e-gf from South America, Chile for almost 2 years
>wanted to visit her and saved up money for a ticked
>parents eventually said no
>she graduated school and went to some European university
>lost touch over time
>never got to meet up

So many regrets.

>add grill from chat
>she has a webcam icon
>"its broken"

>Not him, but I'd say Discord is a pretty good replacement for MSN.

Other than being a Chinese botnet malware, maybe

I lost my virginity to a girl I was in a long distance relationship with over MSN

my friend met her on myspace, she and I talked for two years before we met up, I stayed with her for a week and we fucked like rabbits

we started a ldr, I saw her once more for a week over the next year and then she disappeared completely and ignored all my attempts to contact her, resurfacing a year later with a new boyfriend

oh to be sixteen again

>Implying Yahoo wasn't more cancerous

>custom smileys before they were called emojis or whatever the fuck
>take the biggest animated smiley and set the shortcut to a single letter
>crash peoples PCs with a smiley spam over 500 animated pictures at once
good times
>met some chick in WoW
>still uses msn
>ayy lmao but ok
>chat a bit
>looks decent
>talk lewd but never do anything because I'm not going to drive all the way to her for 4 hours for the chance of getting laid
good shit I need to play more online shit some time

/thread

Remember that real time player

>friend wants to cam
>she decides to get changed in front of the camera
>"lol did you look"

She was a cockmaster though, she's gotten 2 STDs that i know of in her adult years.

Get a load of this beta.

So I'm guessing nobody here is old enough to have used ICQ
