It's been 17 years since the year 2000. How would you compare that time to now, Sup Forums?

I was five years old.

I want to go back to pre-normalfag internet.
Everything went to shit after 2007.

WINAMP

IT REALLY WHIPS THE LLAMA'S ASS

really makes you think

>tfw I still use winamp
I'll probably never uninstall it either.

i used it until like 2015 and forgot to reinstall it after a reformat, it was such a good program i miss it, i miss discovering wacky talk radio shows or foreign streams in the shoutcast interface (that's how i found alex jones, then jeff rense, then oracle and republic broadcasting and how i started down my conspiracyfag road), i miss spending hours customizing the UI and feeling like a hacker and organizing my mp3 tags

man winamp was GOAT

>youtube's most popular videos of the day used to be shit like the typical skit youtubers and the random quirky videos that made it popular
>now it's just latenight garbage, political "notbrainwashing" comedy shows, music videos, and movie trailers

These were the days man. The Internet seemed like a vast wonderland with limitless potential.

Now it's heavily regulated and anonymity is gone, people are getting arrested for posts for God's sake.

You could never portscan late into the night, exploring or causing havoc to whoever was unlucky enough to get your ping these days. One more address block, one more box of pizza rolls, swapping the hottest files on irc and winmx, finding a full 480p porn video, buckle up and pray nobody calls, it's morning, sorry mom, long night studying.

AND THE DRAGON COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIGGHHHHH

Kind of a drag.

The introduction to the story is always the best isnt it?

remember when there was little to no social media and you could troll normies endlessly. I fucking miss those times man, the old internet was so chaotic in nature.

It was awesome then. I remember downloading my first MP3s and it really hit me - I never have to pay for music again.

I then moved on to other P2Ps like Morpheus and others. Crazy times in the beginning.

Now, it is a lot easier - most of the music is just on YouTube anyways.

Good times

Audiogalaxy is my shit. Before that I'd sit on AOL and wait for progs to give me lists to d/l.

Google 'Eternal September'

Blame the iPhone.

Kazaa lite

I was 3 in 2000.

I tried to download limp bizkit mission impossible on napster over dialup. I heard every next 3 seconds of the song 30 times before it was done downloading

MIRC

kazaa, introduced me to porn

newgrounds was fun

Miss the good old days shitposting on Sup Forums back in the early 2000s.

Everyone was a massive faggot. It was shit.

>You now remember the world before 9/11

loading severely compressed jpeg images piece-by-piece.

I remember 9/11 like it was yesterday.

I was finishing my physics degree. I was home that day since I was feeling sick. I was eating a large bowl of cereal. When I turned on my tv I burst into such laughter that milk got all over my carpet. When I saw the jumpers on live TV, oh my Lord, I was on the floor doubled over with pain from laughter. For the next few weeks when it was brought up I had to excuse myself and go to the bathroom and laugh hysterically.

Even today I get a hearty chuckle out of it.

if you have a physics degree maybe you can finally settle a bet
can jet fuel melt steel beams?

I'm not an engineer.

...

I miss it so much, I just want to die

youtube.com/watch?v=T9TvcAMENJE

Great times! I just gradually progressed from MP3s, to movies to software. So much fun back then searching for stuff everyday waiting for good selections to appear like Adobe software and crappy Russian cams of new movies.

We had so shitty interwebs here, but at werk I had a wooping freaking 2 MEGA BIT CONNECTION! WOW, the same connection could handle 32 phone lines, good tymus

I downloaded movies and songs for my friends at werk, and the boss was just fine about it, in fact he was in on it. I used a server at the server room

Do you know that I fucked your mom's asshole raw back in 1983? Shit ripped and she had to get some dumpster surgery on her gushy gash if u kno what I mean.

>squidward.jpg

non-nerds were discovering more nerdy elements of technology and smart phones did not exist.

9/11 had not happened.

the last days before it all went wrong.

basically a kid, kicking the ass off all senior developers no education then, a fucking rockstar

this sums it u p - one thing.
the jews hadn't done .com bubble yet, it happened that year

>duh joows did it
Just shut the fuck up already. Jew conspiracy shit is worse then Pepe posting. Sort your shit out and post some fresh memes ffs.

>It's been 17 years since the year 2000. How would you compare that time to now, Sup Forums?
Y2k Newyears eve was pretty wild. I ended up fucking my girlfriends cousin in my buddy's parents bed. It was loud as fuck.

The power grid did not fail that night either.

So ya, its totally different now. I somehow never caught anything and I ceased degeneracy.

>leh spicy memes
upboated good sir

I used to play roller coaster tycoon, I still play roller coaster tycoon

Go back to the donald you fucking faggot piece of shit

Why are you so angry faggot? Its just a post on the internet. Was it duh joows conspiring to give you a small feminine penis at birth that made you so edgy?

r u running windows 92

I was 9. Life was hard, I lived in a old trailer and was alone most of the day and bullied in school. Things got better after aside from 2010 where I lost half my family.

In med school now and impotent despite looking like a Chad now so its a weird feeling.

Life doesn't get better or worse. The effort it requires just changes.

I was deployed in Iraqi Kurdistan for almost all of 2000 helping support the No-Fly Zone and collecting HUMINT with 75th Rangers RRD Team 2 (ISA, RRD[now RRC], USASF. CAG and other SOF never fully left Iraq, after the Gulf War). I would have rather been home with my Wife; I was rotated back in after only being married for two weeks(not much of a Honeymoon).

Everything that was cool is now literally worse than Hitler
>calling people fags
>metal
>doing things just because fuck you

>Napster

Their mistake was settling with Metallica and Dre. I'm sure they just saw it as an easy way to get them of their backs, but it opened the floodgates for anybody to sue them and get free money because they'd shown they wouldn't put up a fight.

All they did was provide a peer to peer file-sharing service, what people used that for wasn't their business or problem.

It started going to shit after Columbine

This. The Federal "AWB" was really shit though. I am so glad that W. Bush let it expire.

tfw when will never pick flax n play castle wars with my fren again

Brutal, I was a homeschooled nerd back then and I bought a shirt that said "zezima 99" off some shady chink site and my dad told me not to wear it around girls. I wore it to the pool and thought I was the shit, telling these chicks I had 99 in everything.... cringe man.

When were you guys born? 18th, February, 1977 here.

shit sucks

kek irl

Askjevees and realplayer was da bomb.

Just turned 30 a couple weeks ago

I am and I can tell you with certainty that nobody knows. It is one of the few "unanswerable" questions that they teach you in engineering school, like "is evolution real" and "what is your favorite tv show" there is no real answer. Maybe. Maybe it can melt steel. Maybe steel can melt jet fuel. How can anyone be sure? I imagine jet fuel might even be able to freeze steel if it was cold enough outside. It's a silly question, and certainly I wouldn't waste much time thinking about it. Make up your own mind, that is the beauty of science you can believe whatever you want!

I miss Napster
That stabbing of nostalgia This so many times.

>that is the beauty of science you can believe whatever you want!

It starts sucking after you hit 35-36. I at least have three almost teenaged(12) or teenaged(14 and 16) daughters to help keep me more active. I would lay on the couch all day, on Weekends drinking my Scotch collection, otherwise.

the same

I've already been through alcoholism phase, pill popping phase, etc.

I didn't expect to live to 30, so it's all gravy.

>I would lay on the couch all day, on Weekends drinking my Scotch collection, otherwise.
I already do a cheaper version of that and I'm 22

...

lol @ this pic

anyone have the "hey mom, instead of tucking me in here, tuck me in HERE"

and its a bed/grave

All the bubbles are deliberately created by the kikes, kike

>hey mom, instead of tucking me in here, tuck me in HERE

Looks like a Packers fan to me

Napster lied to you in the name of the songs.

Life is better now.
Everything is free. Downloading is faster and easier. The internet is more educational and entertaining.
You can get rich a lot easier.
Life is good.

Regressive

>my racist echo chamber is being flooded with people who aren't white, spoiled and can build and support families.

I've always been a technology snob, so I'm okay with the current state of the internet as my download speed is 10x what it used to be, my web browsers instantly load since I made sure to get a good processor, and my monitors' resolution is much higher than it used to be.

Plus there is way more information on the internet in comparison to 10 years ago/the information is much more refined. I remember when teachers made fun of wikipedia for being historically inaccurate, but I used wikipedia as a secondary information source/branching off point for a college history course 5 years after this and got high marks on all of my papers.

thanks

More brown people

Imagine how much money he would have made if he was a kike?

I did all of that in High School(not to smart). The Army helped straighten me out and I found a Norwegian Girl, whilst stationed in Germany to Marry.

I rarely very drink now. I only take any medications(Dilaudid) when I cannot get out bed in the Mornings. I have terrible Knees and Lumbar Spine from the Army being 82nd AB, 3/75th/75th RRD and USASF. I was almost killed in HAHO accident when my chute cords got wrapped around my Neck at 37,000 feet. I was already at 4,700 feet and fifteen km off course by the time I got my main chute off and my reserve chute deployed. I had to land in a rock cropping after that.

Shawn Fanning's a good egg.
Fuck Metallica.

You're close. Everything is faster there is more of it but it's less free. OP is hinting at the unlimited freedom that napster suggested. There was a pivot point where the internet almost connected us all. Lawyers, corporations, and gov'ts reacted strongly. The real question is: what if, in 2000, the true freedom of the internet shone through fully and forever?

You should do stretches if you don't.

Also your gait can get fucked up over time from back problems (and you don't notice it). I had major back issues when I was younger but worked them all out.

Please tell me someone else remembers fucksociety(dot)ca and freakfarm. Oh, and the Jew Piles flash vid from newgrounds.

i never liked rock past black people playing it.
its too whitewashed.

I am going to try going to a Chiropractor(new) soon. I fractured my L3 and had a hairline fracture in my L4. Luckily, not bad enough to medically end my career in the Army, but I am really feeling it twelve years on. I need to go back to my Orthopedic Surgeon and see if my discs slipped again. My gait probably is fucked from wearing my steel-toed Police Boots five days per week for 12-18 hours a day.

Everything was better back then. Internet didn't have normies, while most news groups had already collapsed to spammers forums flourished.

>Google 'Eternal September'

That should be basic knowledge to everyone, but even then it was mostly people that knew at least basics from computers. Second wave of eternal September happened in early late 90's or early 2000's when internet connections became much cheaper and there was already few classes of people that learned to use intertubes prior to high school. The advent of smartphones is what finally gave interwebz to absolutely everyone.

The Clintons didn't seem like shit back then.

Man, you young faggots don't know shit about Napster. I'd burn 2 CD's a day.

not as shit

29 and breaking up with my partner rn, taking our 6yo, somebody just kill me now

Early 2000s felt kinda dumb t bh. 90's were awesome though

I believe so. I need to find an actual chance to go to my Doctor about a TENS - I am working nights five days a Week and only really get Saturday's and Sunday's off. I have gotten permission to start working from home starting on the 10th(having to go to Namibia until I get back on the 15th). Unless, I am absolutely needed or my Command performance starts dropping. I need my TEO to start stepping up in order to replace me when I retire.
