When reading through your comment I had a blast from the past and remembered how I was browsing the "All-Seeing Eye" [1] to look for Quake 3 servers and then share them with friends via IRC.

Looking back at those times I remember the Internet as a much more social place (but that might be just be). I think it's because people had to get active to use services for social interaction as opposed to getting hit by a notification in your face.

ASE was great, I think it was possible to filter servers by country, and I think I used to find new servers and players from my country to play with.
