The early days of the net

Remember when no one knew what "memes" were (most still dont understand it)? When you never saw annoying fucks spamming it openly with no consequences? When Sup Forums would actively hunt these fags down and harass them like no other force on earth could.

When facebook/myspace was a wild west where you could just absolutely fuck people up if they weren't careful? Remember msn chatrooms? Ytunnel? AOL cheerleading chat? All the fucking pedos baiting kids out pretending to be girls.

Remember downloading "13 yr old girl fucking" stuff because hey, you were 13, so of course you wanted to see girls your own age. Downloading that shit on your 56k connection and waiting 4 hours for that 5 minute clip of the girl squirting all over the floor.

Fuck man, the older internet days were nuts.

>I have shit taste

>Actively wanting easy distribution of cheese pizza to the world
>Op pic related

the web was great up until 2007

the internet turned to shit in 1995

Fuck. Remember "never use your real name on the internet"?

I find the current internet fun and informative. Take, for example, this stately goat picture. This is a excellent goat picture if I've ever seen one and I'm not sure I would have without the modern internet,

This goat picture is mediocre at best.
Here's what a really good goat picture looks like.

No, I'm too young to remember all that
Whatchu gonna do?

>Remember when no one knew what "memes" were
Nope, even people way back on usenet knew about memes.

>>When facebook/myspace was a wild west where you could just absolutely fuck people up
hahahaha, that's not that old. I'm not usenet old(dad tells me stories of the ol' usenet), but I used the net before google. You have no idea how shitty early webcrawlers were.

Also what w

That goat picture is barely above average. If you want a truly excellent goat picture, you should look at this one.

Those days were nice, yeah, but I wouldn't want to go back because reddit wasn't a thing yet and using the internet without it... yikes.

That goat picture doesn't even move.

Ah the old Sup Forums switcheroo

hey man you uh.... got a magnet link for that video

Internet user since 1994 here. (BBSes since 1992)

Everything started to go wrong around 2000-2001.

>tfw didn't get internet until 2006

Among moving goat pictures, I would describe that one as uninspired.

If you'd like to be amazed by an exceptional moving goat picture, you should see this one.

>tfw didnt have a computer until 2009

>Everything started to go wrong around 2000-2001.
The internet was opened to commercial use some time in the late 80s IIRC. Before the WWW. That's when it all went bad.

>downloading "13 yr old girl fucking" stuff because hey, you were 13, so of course you wanted to see girls your own age
this. Some people find it strange, though, so i never mention it, but for me it's weirder that so many teens wank off to 40yo crackheads

also, boarding the goat boat

>tfw didn't find Sup Forums until 2008

Wish I would have found it earlier. Had a blast with you fucks during that time.

Now I'm just stuck here forever.

Remember netiquette?

Damn tree goats again?
They need to understand they aren't birds.
This is not how nature works.

I keep finding them in my apple trees, eating my crops. These things ain't right I tells you.

>he wasn't around in the glory days of usenet
>he doesn't remember Eternal September
The internet went to shit in 1993.

No, the internet went to shit in november 1993.

>Eternal September
story time?

What are you, 15? I remember when the 'net' was local BBS's that you would dial into.

explain.

1:0 vegans

Are you dumb or just 16?

Fuck you kid, eternal september eans the net and bbs-es are filled with newfags who cant lurk and read the rules and start shitposting everywhere their dumbass opinions noone cares about. Called septermber because those times most people didnt have the net at home and got their first usages in university

TL;DR cause of school, newfags and dumbfucks started pouring into bbs-ses at september

Big businesses didn't become intrusive and interfering until the dotcom boom.

Approximately, yes.

I remember not having a 2nd phone line, and my parents would get pissed if I tied up the landline for too long.

I also remember I actually had to "get" online; I wasn't just constantly connected like I am now.

Logging into AOL and seeing that you were only gonna get 14.4 kbps meant that fapping was gonna be a struggle.

> too stupid to google it

You are literally the cancer that is wrecking the internet. Burn your fucking modem faggot.

Every minute online was precious in those days.

this

What am I supposed to see in this picture?

I was consolidating all my old hard drives over the years onto one external, and I came across my edonkey folder.

Talk about dodging a bullet.

holy fuck you guys are sperging out this hard over this guy asking you a simple question about something from 20 fucking years ago? maybe you are "the cancer that's wrecking this board" grandpa.

kill yourselves asap

Was gonna make a thread for this but fuck it, I'll just leave this here.

Idk, if you mean pre Sup Forums not really. I have been using this site to kill time for what feels like a decade.

You user describing my childhood so accurately. But I used ICQ mist of the time.

I remember downloading a pokemon ruby rom on my shitty connection only to find my emulator starting to play jap scat porn when I tried opening it.
