Oh, yeah. So, yeah. So, like, early, late 90s, more early 2000s, there's a lot of online communities. Some are big. I mean, I think the really big ones you would know of, that most people know of, rather, like 4chan and, like, something awful, right? Big places that had, like, the bigger names at the time. But there were also... much smaller, like, specific topics. Water cooling, right?

There was a water cooling. There was a bunch of them. But, you know, there would be water cooling communities where people just share their techniques and stuff so they could all just improve upon it. And, yeah, there were also, you know, hacking-themed ones. So Bryce and Digital Gangster was one of those. He was... That was one of the several communities I have, you know, known him from.

And, yeah, there's... This was also at the time where online space and meet space were very separate, right? Like online dating, for instance. That was like, what? Now it's like, that's all the kids do these days. It's really weird. But I met my wife from one of those online communities. But eventually those worlds start to blend together when you spend more time in there.

And you're spending most of your time in there and just talking to these people. Eventually, I mean, it depends on the community. Maybe not so much like Digital Gangster where it's like raw crime happening is maybe not the best idea to...

Yeah, I can't remember exactly what it was, but I moved out to California. That's its own story we can go into. But when I moved out, I think it was like the first week, I'm just like, hey, anybody in this community around want to hang out, show me around the town? She was one of those people.
