It's strange to see so much of what I think of as decidedly late 90s/early 2000s internet slang ("BTW," "flame," etc) being used here.


Ever heard of chunking? The old keyboards used to make a "chunk" sound when you'd type a key, hence going on a BBS and typing something = chunking. I'm curious where and when people used this word - googling these days brings up totally unrelated results.
