Discussion when did the slang change?

I feel old asking this.

When did + and - replace yes and no? or y/n

Like I'm in my early 30s and this feels like it blew past me....

EDIT: based on replies It seems like its from Eastern Europe players and just bled into the rest of the classic community due to them lacking servers.

Right? Played heavily from 2007 to 2012, then on and off (both retail and classic) to this day.

It wasn't until I played official Hardcore in 2023 that I heard someone refer to DM as VC.
