  • I think they’re referring to some early java applet clients that were popular back in the day. he might have telnet’d into the servers that the clients (which were hosted on geocities) would connect to.

    only reason why I think that is because I did similar and even found a way to circumvent room bans using telnet 🤣.

    In one server variant you could change your name to a mod after they left the room and have admin privileges in that room.

    a particularly shitty mod at the time received my ire and I was able to ban them from their own rooms because the software only validated on the clients to not ban yourself 😈

    man, I’ve always been an asshole.
