I didn't have the internet until the late 90's and didn't join the online community until 1998, I believe... but I remember much of what has been mentioned. 
I never was very chatty on the boards, so people may not remember me so well. I used to go by Aerosmith_Gal.
I remember you, Aerosmith_Gal! Were you on LNS's forum maybe? After the Dream Valley chat shut down, I migrated to HQTs forum, and after that to LNS. I remember you from at least one of those places.
I've been BabyExplorer a long tine, but also used to go by HeartThrob or BabyTiddleyWinks in the DV chat.
I am definitely a fast typer today because of Dram Valley chatroom! I spent hours there. In the day, it was all role play, and all the actions were notated between stars (ex *waves hi to everyone*). You knew you had made a friend if you were asked to be her "sister." I kept a notebook with the names and I addresses of everyone so that I would know if someone was being impersonnated. I imagine that notebook is still at my parents house somewhere. :-P
I was pretty young when I first got into ponies online, 5th grade maybe? I must have only been 10 or 11 when I bought my first pony online.
And I remember Spoosh's contests! I was so envious of the people who got to participate. I think I was the "voice" of one of the Top 50 ponies (don't remember which one... Sugarberry maybe?) But she didn't make it very far in the competition. And the Survivor Pony game he ran - I wanted desperately to play in that, so I just posted like a maniac in the Fans section.
The Lost At Sea version was th e best one.
It's fun to remember now and then. I mostly lurk these days, but couldn't help popping my head in here.
