I use to play around with Visual Studio 6, just out of pure bordom i would create Error message windows put them up on local message boards and fool the poster into thinking they were doing some type of damage on the forum. The moderators were in on it they thought it was hilarious i would target boring old hens who would start threads with "What are you knitting today" We would let them know a few posts down it was a joke and not to panic.
But Visual Studio 6 was the starting point for me. I lost interest, gaming seems to always win.
