Were any of you in the first few waves of college campuses that were given beta access into old facebook? Somehow my dinky uni was.
Say what you want about how the company turned out, but it was nice to have orderly user pages compared to the shitshow that was myspace. Livejournal was already on its way out.

back then you genuinely made more money using your knowledge of systems for good instead of hacking/bad. so there were very few bad actors on the internet who were willing to take out something so large for basically no legitimate reason and massive negatives. like it didnt matter how insecure shit was back then because there were so few internet users and finding them was trivial, no one fucked with big fishs.
