I was still playing with toy cars back then, but how did people lose those IPs? Were they revoked?

I still have a /24 from the era.

Eeek, the "C" in CIDR stands for classless, so it is either a Class B or a /16 not a "class /16"

Also, it is highly unlikely that you had a /16 as a PI allocation even in 1990.

Your nick is deliberately obscene. I'm not a prude, but it doesn't fit the tone of the site.

There are no words that are obscene.

Class Bs for persons still existed in 1998.
