In the "wild west" days there was a certain "terrorists handbook" circulating with detailed instructions on how to make all sorts of things.
I'm very happy that sort of thing isn't easily available to everyone anymore.
Trolling then and "trolling" now are just not the same. The meaning behind the word has evolved to mean something malicious. Trolling back then meant more like a practical joke. Like telling a noob alt+f4 will give them buffs in a game.
But you're trying to compare a time where the internet had few million of users rather than a few billion ones.
Oh, and people got banned ALL THE TIME before too. I don't know if you remember mud's or IIRC. But I do. Banning annoying people was very common. Certainly ain't nothing new. Behave or gtfo.
That information is exactly as easy to get as it was then. It's always taken just a bit of curiosity and a touch of internet know-how
You can still readily do the old school trolling without repercussions as well. So I don't get the nostalgia either.

The internet still has the data, it's just more organized now.
Been a very long time since I've seen this in digital form. I really thought it would be more difficult to find this these days.
Thought I didn't really look for it either I suppose.
I remember when I first ran into this. It was on a BBS. It felt like forbidden knowledge. It felt like this was a big secret.
But now that I'm not an edgy teenager anymore, I realize it's just a library book. The trouble with getting older, is you learn how to organize the world so it feels smaller
I can't exactly say I've seen it in my local library. I remember this being circulated and just really hoped that the idiots in my class wouldn't blow their hands off.
