   with we wait for the Senate to vote on the teen social media ban bill, I'm doing a call-out:

   which social media accounts, communities and experiences were important to you as a teen and why? Feel free to reply, send me a message or email with as much detail (the nicher the better ha!)

     @camwilson Active BBS, back in the 90's before my family got internet. Because people at school sucked. This was the first place I found "my" community.

     It's where "bastardsheep" comes from.

     The only real remnants I could find are on FB, sadly. https://www.facebook.com/groups/454286044586603/

     @bastardsheep @camwilson In Sydney? I was on there in the early 90s. Did you go to the ice-skating meetups? lol

     @erici The last ice skating meetups I went to were where I was 9yo or younger. I never left the rink on my own feet, always had to be carried due to blisters from the skates. I haven't been skating since.

     @erici I started off on there as Master/Mabster, then gained the nickname bastardsheep by people there and was given the plush sheep that's usually my avatar.
