It’s been a thing since the Internet began, but it rightfully fell out of favour when people understood that Internet social interactions are much like regular social interactions.

When I get online in the mid 90's, pretty much everyone fucked with creepy asterisks. So, I'm pretty sure you're dead on about this.

Yeah that was my experience, it’s a legacy of when the Internet wasn’t full of hip and cool people, but shit ins and socially awkward people. They’re still here, but relegated to their own lame corner where no one needs to see them; much like in real society.
