It wasn’t the appropriate time for the joke other than seeing asterisks. It’s usually associated with passwords. Here’s some information on the meme if you haven’t seen it, it was unclear based on what you said. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/hunter2
Re: too old, the meme dates back to 2004. It’s an oldie in internet times.
The “hunter2” joke above was playing into the idea of a dodgy user saying “you can type something sensitive like your password and the server will replace it with asterisks. See: *******. That was my password! Now you try” leading to the response of “hunter2”, the password of a guilable user. It didn’t really work in this context as a joke, and now I feel sad to discover that bash.org is no more 😩
Hunter2
I do not have the slightest idea of what you intended to convey.
Asterisks are associated with hunter2. That’s all they meant.
I’m either too stupid or too old to understand the underlying joke. Maybe both.

Definitely too old.
Or too young? 😉 It’s an old IRC quote that did the rounds. Here’s an archive of the original: https://bash-org-archive.com/?244321

Yup. Good old bash.org
