Date 1997Founded UnknownSubmitted By CJSource AOL-Files.com/FDO-Files.com Archive This ‘exploit’ allowed users to send completely blank IMs, which also removed the screen name of the sender from the IM window. This trick was used by various punter programs so that you could not copy/paste any screen name from the IM window to make a report to CAT.

Monk-E-God, one of the most prominent figures from the AOL add-on programming scene of the late 90′s, has died.

Initially someone emailed me about “Tom” dying and I had no idea who they were talking about. I’m really bad with names so I always feel a little bad when someone from that era emails me. However, I remembered the “moorpark” location they mentioned and a discussion about it at knk4life.com – and that’s when it hit me that they were talking about Monk-E-God. I remember talking with him at what I think was knk’s old forums (and possibly later GPX’s forums, though I can’t remember if he was a member of that forum) and checking out his work at knk’s website.

I wasn’t really close to the guy, but I remember him as being one of the best programmers from those days. He was one of those people who’s reputation preceded them, it’s really sad to hear he’s gone. Thinking about that era brings back a lot of memories. If it wasn’t for that community and those days on AOL, I wouldn’t have become the programmer I am today.

A little info about the prog videos; basically I run an actual copy of America Online/ 4.0/5.0 using the server provided.....
