I keep hearing this and it makes me realize I wasn't as cool as I thought I was in the 90s :P
The FBI visited once, my dad freaked out and told me before he answered the door.
Turns out someone was exposing themselves to kids on Halloween.

You don't still do that do you?
I wasn't the one exposing myself if that's what you mean.
(I believe that was the joke)
I got dinged as well. Similar story on efnet logs. No charges but they announced their presence with authority. Left me a business card too.
Yep, myself and a friend and they had logs from one of our Undernet channels. Interesting to hear that it was somewhat commonplace. I hadn't heard any similar stories until the mid 00s and ours happened around 97 or 98.
Yeah mine while I was in high school and it was 1998. I think there was a lot of FBI trolling the usual channels in the late 90's when the 2600-related movements were really getting underway.
Strange how different - and how similar! - the scene is today. Good memories, except that law enforcement back then was a lot less scary...
they showed up to my place once. the guy said to contact him after i graduated if i was looking for work, lol.
for what it's worth, they had binders and binders full of efnet logs.
