Not knowing the ASL prompt casts some doubt on your claim to remember the internet back then. Knowing someone’s age, sex and location was some useful context even if dating wasn’t the aim.
ASL was extremely useful. We only had usernames, no profile pictures or anything else. ASL is what you asked if you were chatting on quakenet or another server. Most of the time you knew the regulars on your channel. Often mods would ask your ASL and if it turned out later you were lying then you’d get kicked or muted.
