What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever done online?

Nothing particularly crazy. But when I was in high school, I used my skills from webmastering class to create a website to sell anime fansubs. This was before PayPal really took off, so they had to pay by money order. They’d fill out a form with which episodes of which series they wanted, which would send me an email to make the tapes, and once I got the money order I’d ship. This was back in the Wild West of the internet when you could send a money order to some random guy on the internet and actually expect to get something back.

I mistyped an IP-address I wanted to telnet to 20 years ago and ended up in a printserver from a famous Dutch university. Since it was setup without a password, I was admin and was able to login to the GUI using a browser. I found 27 printservers on the same network. As a joke I reconfigured them all in a random order, in hopes that the prints the users made, ended up at a random printer somewhere on the campus. Never heard the outcome, didn't make the news, Next day the printservers were secured.

Bought a friends expired domain and redirected it to gay p***

I tried to download a car

Clicked "I am over 18" when I wasn't actually 18. 

I got my first wife from Craigslist. That was a poor decision.

1 v 5 successful defence of bombspot A on de_inferno in a league game with only a deagle 

I bought 4 bootleg DVD’s for 5 bitcoins and I still cry when I think about it.

Downloaded a t****** with no VPN or safeguards whatsoever

I invested $50 into an online p**** account. Over the next 3 years or so, I grew those $50 into about $25,000. It was no where near as exciting as you would think. If you play winning p****, you win slowly and gradually and it’s actually rather boring. This was also 2005-2008 when online p**** games were pretty soft and most sites would give you very attractive bonuses for playing with them.

Not the wildest but the wildest someone done to me. I was a guy confused with a woman I liked during university. Wrote a listnook post of paragraphs and paragraphs in hopes I would find an answer from someone older. This random person dms me asking if I'm sad, saying she would make me happier if I wanted to. I asked how, and she video called me. We had a virtual sex and that shit definetely improved my mood. She was hot as f*** and wasnt seeking nothing but making someone else day happy (or lustier). I asked her whether I would see her again, she just responded "if I'm lucky" . . . that was from 5 years ago.

When I was an unsupervised teen on the Internet, I used to scam pedos. I got a few hundred in Amazon gift cards, logged their IPs and reported them to watchdogs.

I ordered high powered windmill magnets that never showed up from ebay sometime between the years of 2001 and 2005. Then one day years later. A truck showed up with my package. The driver apparently worked for ups or fedex for awhile. I can't remember which one. He let me know that the package was stuck on his truck for years, but he never delt with it. They finally got it off and decided to deliver it to me. The ebay seller did not wrap the magnets correctly and the magnets stuck to the truck's metal frame through the box. Note: I often think about how that package even made it to the truck. As it must have been on a plane or conveyor belts etc... beforehand.

When I was 11 I started playing this mmo on my iPod touch, and started a clan naming it after my own account. This game wasn't massive, think a mature server would normally have around 2000 active players. Well this clan did really well and I put an unholy amount of time into managing it. I developed leadership structures coordinating time zones around world. Had myself and a few others "training" new players to make them stronger and we ended up performing a hostile takeover of the whole server. One by one the leadership of the other clans got tired of fighting and id have their leadership transfer ownership of their clan to one of my dummy accounts and id pull them into the fold whipping them into shape and making their members an effective fighting force. Id also seed new servers with people I trusted to spread my organization. Tonnes of servers had clans running my name. Most people playing the game knew of me. By now I had almost a cult of personality. I literally had people working in shifts organizing their smaller sections of the organization. My top leadership were the only people that knew I was an actual child, and they would pose as me while I was at school, or on vacation, running my account and even spending money on it while I was away. My top 3 were with me for years, a Chinese businessman, an Indonesian man that owned a small construction company and a retired factory worker from Alabama. Then the devs generally opened a server every 3 months or so, and they named all the servers after constellations. I emailed them with a suggestion for the name of the next server posing as an "astronomer" telling them that this constellation was only visible from earth ever 10,000 years. I told them that the name of the constellation was the name id given my clan. I left out the actual connection between the name of my clan and this constellation just presenting it as a good name for the next server. They actually announced the creation of this server over modmail, which they normally didn't do, so everyone playing the game saw the upcoming server named after my clan. World chat was going crazy. I immediately made my own announcement to everyone in the organization everywhere that I was moving to the new server, and that I wanted anyone willing to start fresh to come with me. Within the first hour of the server being open my clans there had almost 600 members. There was never any competition. Every meaningful player run aspect of that server had my name on it, including the server itself. I basically imposed communism on the server. There were no more massive battles for weekly resources, instead there was a fair rotation so everyone's accounts had fair access to the massive resource bonuses and we instead trained for inter-server pvp events. I ran it like this focusing on player retention instead of beating rivals like id normally done. Teaching new players, organizing events and such. The whole server was a united front. And when those interserver pvp events rolled around we fucked some shit up. So that was the time my undiagnosed autism made me into a god emperor in a mobile game I played on my ipod touch.

Went to a sketchy website to launder neopoints

I found my wife of 10 years, loved everything about her and held her hand for 8 hours straight as she passed last year

Back then when the first flatrates came out and people connected their PC using a PPPoE client for Windows we used to scan the internet for Subseven servers and had a bit of fun with those users, enabling the Matrix effect and telling them we were aliens that wanted to make contact with earthlings, that kind of thing.

I crashed fifteen hundred and seven computers in one day on August 10th, 1988. Then some friends and I hacked a Gibson to unearth a nefarious plan.

Decades ago (1995-ish) when you could "back your way in" on servers* I was in charge of a professional organization's website adventure that was hosted on rented servers (and hard-coded...it was pretty amateurish). I was pretty new to it all (we all were) and started poking around in the servers and....wound up in the core directories of a major global defense/aerospace company as well as a global automaker. Literally nothing in either was locked down or protected. Nothing. I didn't go much further in and certainly didn't download anything but I still occasionally wonder if the blacked-out Suburbans will pull up to the curb. \* From an http address such as https://www.listnook.com/r/AskListnook/, you start deleting the suffixes and going "up the ladder" in the server system. In this case you could get to https://www.listnook.com/r which would give you a listing of sublistnooks rather than the actual directory. Most of them now guard against getting too far in without a redirect, and having access to the actual internal directory.

Nice try, FBI handler who watches everything I do online!

Tried to be a decent human being…..

Doxxed a guy who was cheating on his wife. He turned out to be a homicide detective in Virginia. 😂

Accidentally sent a screenshot to the person I took the screenshot of

Used my real name as my username

Clicked " I have read the terms and conditions " when in reality, I did no such thing.

Created an O******* and deleted it after roughly two weeks, because the people were too demanding, lol.

Arranged meetings with strangers without even knowing what they look like. AOL chatrooms, you'd meet random people in the local chatrooms and then arrange to meet, usually pick them up from their home. You'd get an address and pull up. Is it gonna be a woman I find attractive or a serial killer? You never know... Simpler exciting times.

During one of the earlier Israel-Iran flare-ups, I ended up in a Telegram group that I thought was for 'Geopolitical Analysis' but turned out to be a weird, hyper-specific kink group where people roleplayed as various missile defense systems. I've never closed a tab faster. My targeted ads for the next week were a confusing mix of 'Tactical Body Armor' and 'Latex Suits.

Cybered with a “girl” on RuneScape back in like 2007. Iykyk what that means

I pointed at a yellow line on my wall

Lol I bought a bunch of copies of windows xp from china then sold them on ebay. The items I bought stayed in china until I gave instructions on where they were going. It was drop shipping so it was supposed to go directly to the guy who bought them from me. He paid me thousands, product got caught in customs, I got a letter from the FBI saying I was being investigated, couldnt refund the guy because I had a new paypal account that froze money for the first 30 days. Lol I never felt so fucked.

Hacked an insurance portal to pay my bill. Can't make this shit up. I hacked them to give them my money.

I had some suspicions about my wifes loyaty so I made a fake facebook page to trick my wife to see if she would cheat on me. . Some hot young dude locally with a tone of random friends....she fell hook line sinker and was ready to meet and fu*k. So I divorced her very quickley and swifltey. B**** aint wasting my time. p s a if your a hoe by nature dont wear a wedding dress ..just stay single for christ sakes. Least you run into someone like me and ruins your shit for good.

I was tardy a lot in my senior year of high school (late 1990’s, only could use dialup internet after 10pm since we only had one line) and was in danger of not graduating. So I told the attendance principal that I was late for doctors visits. He wanted the doctor to reach out to him to get the tardies excused. So over the course of a weekend, I bought a domain, found a web host, made a simple single practice office website, created an email account and emailed the principal what he wanted. He bought it and I made sure not to be tardy anymore as not to try my luck. I was actually surprised he didn’t question it.

A youtube livestreamer was in the habit of not simply blocking chatters he didn't like. He would look up their channel names on youtube during the livestream to insult them, then he would block them. So I logged in to the livestream chat as a username he didn't know you should never look up on the Internet, and called him out. Got what I wanted

Me & some buddies a few years ago, went on Omegle. While on, we ran across an older dude - with his YOU KNOW WHAT out. I decided then and there, to tuck my meat & 2 veg into a fake V*****, stand infront of the webcam, and just wiggle and woddle. Sure enough, the old mate ended up releasing his baby gravy, and then we all jumped out, I let it all out & hang loose. He then immediately disconnects. The kicker to the story, Omegle was then shut down literally at the end of that weekend. My head canon is that I bullied one of the Omegle admins, he forced the sites closure. Thanks.

Not too wild,but there was an album released on bandcamp (by John Frusciante and Omar Rodriguez Lopez) and I knew they must have uploaded the wrong files (two songs had been released years before) so I wrote many mails to the label and made a few people from a Mara Volta forum do the same and the label checked and reuploaded the correct versions of the songs after a few days Yeah,not wild I guess

Lemme tell you about Keith. I had a listing on Facebook market place for some video games. He messaged me to argue that I had priced my items too high, but he wasn’t making an offer. I asked him to make an offer and he kept just saying that it was too high of a price, I was out of my mind.  After going back and forth with him gradually getting more insulting, and me saying to make and offer if he doesn’t like the price, he insulted my wife. Called her a fat pig. Started bragging about how he has money, said I’m jealous and that’s why I have a high price. I goaded him a bit to brag more and he told me he keeps 50k cash in his house safe. So I googled his address and sent it to him. He laugh reacted and told me that’s his elderly parents house, which I pointed out was a nice estate and probably also had valuables in it. Then I googled more and found his an address and sent it to him. He freaked out a little, told me he’d shoot me if I come there. I found his number and called from a texting app and taunted him some more, telling him I know where his money is and that I also know he’s at work rn so no one’s home. He kept calling me and leaving voicemails(oh I forgot to mention I was at work while this was all happening, took place over a 3ish hour period) threatening me and calling me names, I’d text him back and say he should hide his secrets better and not brag about large sums of cash when his address is online.  Eventually I get a random phone call and I pick up. It’s someone claiming to be a sheriffs deputy from the county he’s from. She tells me that he called and made a report, he was frightened and that what I was doing could be considered stalking. I told her no it wasn’t, I simply googled and very quickly found 3 pieces of info about him(parents address, his address, his phone number) and then taunted him. I wouldn’t have don’t any of it had he not called my wife a fat pig and insulted me. So tell him I won.  He owned a roofing business so I left a 1 star review, it got taken down. Now about once a month I call his business and book a consultation to a random abandoned property. This all happened about a year ago. Never heard anything from him since so idk if he knows these calls are me. 

I had a couple of women I met on Whisper and we would call each other and I would talk to them until they came. They would sometimes send me pics of before and after to show what a mess they made for me. Fun times.

Was catfished by a perverted old man into sending pictures of my bare 14 year old behind :/

I visited Disney.com without my parents’ permission.

I mean, video sex and sextingwith strangers is definitely the wildest thing I've done (especially when I was a minor). But that also seems to be pretty common, so I'm gonna go with dumping my whole paycheck into an online c***** because they said they'd "match whatever I put in". I didn't realize I would have to play off the money they gave me, I thought I could just put the money in, double it, and withdraw. Still cashed out with 3x what I put in, but the withdrawal process had me create an account with a weird 3 party money transfer site and took 2 weeks to get to my bank account, so I haven't played since

I started a long distance relationship with a girl I chatted with on YikYak and had phone sex for the first time. Also had a FWB relationship with a girl I met on Swiflie. Crazy times...

Sold feet pics lol. Some dude paid like $100 it was insane. Absolute gooners lol ida done it for 5 XD

Captcha told me to click on photos with car and I clicked on a photo that didn’t have car

I, like many a mentally unstable young girl, was regularly on 4chan, kik and omegle. Met with multiple men from both in person. Never had sex (I was too scared) but literally at 14 was just meeting strange 25+ y/o men and then of course the Epstein files come out to say Epstein regularly used 4chan and kik. How am I alive? I don't know. 

A guy who told me to k--- myself in an online video game left easy bread crumbs online to find his identity just based on his username. His employer, the union for his industry, the local news, his mom, and a lawyer were all included in an email with a link to the video. He deleted all of his social media, and I was able to claim the accounts and use them to mock him.

I shared my nud*s with starngers with my face lmao. I still can’t sleep with that thought sometimes

Sexting over ICQ

Posted sexually explicit pics of myself. Definitely something I never would have guessed i would be saying not too long ago.

Showed my t***.

i signed up online to donate 80 dollars monthly to a random charity when i was extremely suicidal.. a few* months later I kind of got over it and got a receipt saying “thank you for the 500 dollar donation blah blah” anyways, I know in retrospect it really doesn’t seem that bad and it was for a good cause, but due to my active mental crisis.. I was unemployed and hadn’t even applied for disability yet.. i realized trying to pay for my medications that my account was IN THE NEGATIVES i called the charity asking I could stop my donations- and they showed up at my front door for months asking for my donations. when you are suicidal and poor don’t sign up for random charities.

Not truly online per se, but computer network related: I went to small high school in the mid-2000s when locked down cyber security wasn’t exactly their highest priority. I did a lot of tech work like helping set up projectors and lighting since I was on the drama tech team. Over the course of time and becoming fairly well trusted, I fell in to possession of the IT admin password. It hilariously was just a play on my schools mascot, with a few numbers thrown in. Peak 2000’s password management. Well every computer was named pretty logically: library-lab-1, cafeteria-1, RM-114, etc. Some friends of mine (who all came to know the same PW from diff sources) were able to play a pretty fun game where we executed a remote shutdown command from another computer. So if someone we wanted to mess with was working on a computer, we would remote-shutdown and cause them to be dumbfounded. We would start to push our luck and try to do diff teacher’s classrooms, or random workstations around the school. The school eventually got pretty pissed because we started to over-do it. And there was enough people who had the pw that they couldn’t definitively prove who it was. They threatened to issue a harsh punishment if anybody did it again. We decided to not call there bluff and stopped. But man, those were some fun times feeling like we were true hackers 😂

I tried to download more RAM

Been a 11 year old girl with the username cyber_girl. I didn't know what cybering was when I first got online at the turn of the millennium, but I quickly found out! By 12 years old my greatest thrill was typing out... *pulls out scissors and cuts of your p*****.
