## What is BRB2K?

The 90s called... and they want you back!

Remember Instant Messaging? That satisfying chime, the buddy list pings, and chatting for hours with your friends after school while your parents yelled about tying up the phone line? Welcome back to 1999 with BRB2K!

Immerse yourself in a pixel-perfect recreation of the classic IM experience, complete with Windows 98 aesthetics—beige IM windows, that chunky pixel font, dial-up vibes, and all the iconic sounds you loved.

Chat with Fun, Realistic 90s Personas:
• SkaterGuy99 – Skateboard pro who’s always hyped about new Tony Hawk tricks, JNCO jeans, and complaining about homework.

• PrincessSparkle85 – Your go-to bot for killer 90s trivia on Spice Girls, Pokémon cards, Tamagotchis, Beanie Babies, and Y2K survival tips.

Key Features That Nail the Nostalgia:

• Away messages, user profiles, custom IM styles
• Authentic Windows 98 and IM sound effects that’ll give you goosebumps
