The Dark Side of the Net and Goth Girl of the Week. There use to be a goth dating site but I can’t remember the name. It doesn’t matter I suppose. I will be dead soon any way.
Club Penguin. RIP :(
Waddle on, folks. Waddle on…
I would say MSN Chat/Groups. I know MSN itself is still alive and well, but those two things used to have been a way to feel a bond within a community. It was some of my earlier stages of roleplaying online with people, up until the day Microsoft decided to slap a subscription onto chat and then outright discontinuing it when that model fell apart.
Back in 1995, I was still using Gopher, when someone showed me WWW. I soon found the chatroom at Mrshowbiz.com, and was hooked to this new Internet technology.
But my favourite was Geocities. Had several sites there. They taught me HTML coding, and that there was such a thing as too many “Under construction” animated gifs.
stile project went from a collection of bafflingly weird shit to a shitty porn site.
Yeah, there was a lot of porn before, but it wasn’t really the main focus- it was basically a collection of shock value pics & videos that probably played a big part in me becoming desensitized… It was my source of “Eh, I’ve seen worse”
I liked his comics
Rip Stumble upon.
I spent a lot of time in chat rooms roughly 30 years ago. Yahoo chat rooms were fun, and also The Offspring’s old website from back in the late 90s had a chat room. Also I used to get a kick out of the “Ate my balls” webring and the dance ones that started with hamster dance.
No, not the social network with my friend Tom, I mean the online file storage (would now be called ‘cloud’ storage) site that it was before it died and Tom bought the domain.
It had an astounding 300MB of space available for free, much more than the contemporary competition.
Of course now there’s Google Drive, Dropbox, etc. Myspace was just too far ahead of their time.
Reddit, I guess. And Google.
Something happened to fmh-child.org
It isn’t what it used to be.
Not favourite, but I used to use Google search almost exclusively because the results were good, and I could tell it to never show results from certain sites.
No need to tell this community the sad state of affairs it’s in now…
Reddit. Unfortunately it’s defunct beyond repair now, but back in the day it was a nice place to discuss all sorts of topics with knowledgeable and like-minded folk.
