I grew up and cut my teeth on the undernet, effnet, dalnet, the true original non-public net that was alive before the regular web was open for public and AOL was still on the drawing board.

Don't play around on the undernets unless you know how to secure and defend your IP.

And, Yes it can be a nasty place full of freaks, sickos and perves but also full of diamonds of knowledge amongst the piles of crap and all the script kiddies.

If you know the name BlueAdept then you know which undernet land I grew up around. I am old now.

Just wanted to warn anyone about the script kiddies, while referred to as "kiddies" they can rip your IP and even computer apart, so don't think of them as "kids", most are way older than teens.
