Bear share, warez, there were private aol chat room with bots you would ping to email you files, then irc was like hitting gold when I was a kid going through warez chatrooms for everything.
I don't know why but "Bear Share" became a joke between me and my friends. It was like we made fun of one kid for using it instead of whatever we were using at the time. I don't remember why but that's all I remember about it. Makes me laugh now. Joking with one of our friends about what P2P client was the best.
