It's been quite sometime since I have heard the term "lamer", but I remember it being a ubiquitous insult in the BBS scene in the early to mid 90s.

Viznut, a scener, created a cheesy sitcom of sorts called PC-lamerit you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVw4FkdNx37dw0vV-N6KL...

“Lamer” was still used on IRC until the mid-2000s, at least in my experience.
