Chat rooms and message boards. It was great.

Pretty cool my dad used to take my brother and I to the airport on Sunday mornings so we could watch planes take off and land right up at the gate.


Also you had to talk to people and look them in the eye/read their body language to effectively communicate. What a time.

Did you go to Clovis west?

yes. msn messenger, hotmail, and msn profiles were the prehistoric days of the internet

Less degenerate

craigslist?

Less overt degenerate behaviour, but also less public knowledge of the Jewish globalist meddling.

early 2000s internet was great

AIM NIGGA

it was a cool place because not everyone was subject to public opinion 100% of the time.

You mean before smartphones? Great. We've been outdoors all the time

Are you asking seriously?

I forget there are people born after 1990 sometimes.

Life was best before Clinton took over. The best part of the 90's was everything before 95. Late 90's it was the beginning of the end.

web 2.0 was a mistake

>not having a dope xanga that you could link to in AIM chatrooms
>admiring the amounts of hits you got in your subprofile due to your sick buddy icon

kids these days will never know

...

Do you remember your ICQ number? I still do, like it was yesterday.
ICQ and chatrooms used to be one of the best parts of my life

...

>there are people who never talked shit to SmarterChild

This. How I miss the world before the internet and cable TV. People knew their neighbors. Kids played outside all day and sometimes night. There was way more meat=space human interaction and anonymity was hard to come by. So, people were nicer to each other and, for the most part, respected one anothers opinion. Or at least the right to have one different than theirs.

All the nerds congregated on IRC. I'll post some IRC logs.

SO MY MUM WAS LIKE "CLEAN YOUR ROOM" AND IM LIKE "NO WAY FACIST" IM THE PUNKEST
THEN I SAID I'M 12 NOW MUM I CAN STAY OUT AS LONG AS I LIKE AND SHE SAID GO TO YOUR ROOM SO I STABBED HER WITH MY LINKIN PARK PEN
D00D MY MUM SAID SHE DOESNT WANT ME SKATING IN THE HOUSE BUT I WAS LIKE NO WAY HITLER AND I KICK-FLIPPED TO INDY GRIND ON THE CAT

My sister caught me jacking off the other week and calls me a pervert
just the other day i walked into my room and caught my sister masturbating
So she calls me a pervert again?!?
there is no justice in the world...

damn mom still on ebay
lol
ur selling ur mom?

fuck theres something in my eye
frost got a cumshot in the eye
...again
he prolly saw it cumming
hahaha
you guys are sick k thx

yep. the Internet has radicalized everybody and made that kind of effortless, casual human interaction so difficult. everybody has their shields up.

it's a little after the time you're describing, but I really miss the mid-late 80s and MALLS. they were such an exciting place for a young mind.

now the vast majority of them are just sad reminders of a bygone era. people "socialize" online with their horseshit FB and instagram and whatever. nobody makes a point of rendezvous-ing at a particular location anymore.

the beginning of the end happened on 9/11

...

Oh oh!

Also, the sound the 56 kbps modem made when connecting to the internet was spoopy as shit.

You couldn't use the telephone when you were connected.

Reasonable, personable, actually likeable, not batshit insane for the most part.

Decent.
A whole fuckmore of decency.

Livejournal lol fuck

remember woods porn?
is that still a thing?

Nothing has changed, it's just out in the open instead of beliefs behind closed doors. The world has always been this shit, you just didn't have a front row seat until now.

The wild west days of the internet.

Side note, can you imagine how 9/11 would be if it had happened in todays world of social media?

People actually talked to each other. They used maps to navigate. If you wanted to attend a party, only way to find out about it was to be invited.

A lot of us said fuck it and spent a lot of time on MUDs anyway.

Everything was great up until Clinton's second term/when Howard became PM. 1995 was the last good year, and 1996 was when everything began to go downhill.

oh maaaan the good ol' days of offline readers!

the messages were just a trickle in the boards(?) I frequented, but it was cool to wait a couple of days and then have a bunch to read at once.

fido ufo ftw!

That memory sounds real comfy.

Everything was innocent and grand. Much more sense of adventure becase you couldn't tell everyone every fucking thing you did at all times.

IRC, BBS, and instant messanger apps.

I remember pirating Trillium, even though I only ever used AIM.

BBS porn was my first digital porn. Porn-gifs were like something out of the world and definitely worth waiting for them to be downloaded

the "literal shakening" of this election * 1000

>Gen Z will never gather around in a circle in the woods jerking off to a Playboy magazine from the 70s
Those were the days

I only lurked on fido. I posted a lot of embarrassing stuff on newsgroups using my real name though.

>If you wanted to attend a party, only way to find out about it was to be invited.
U wot m8? How else does someone go to a party nowadays without getting invited?

AJA.GIF

I remember downloading a 300k file that took about 30 minutes. I was like THIS IS SO MUCH DATA, THIS IS UNREAL.

Facebook groups/social media.

Check out Big D's #69 uniform. Quite a coincidence

riding bikes until the street lights come on

It was great. When y2k was on the horizon I was saying, "bring it on motherfucker". But there's no going back. Best we can hope for is nuclear war, or a devastating global plague, the big reset; fingers crossed.

Dude thats pre Sup Forums stuff from iqdb wtf do u think ure doing here???

yeah, same. a few years back I used the google groups reader to go find them all. I was arguing with people about the Killer Instinct arcade game and how it was just using prerendered graphics, and how the N64 was weak as shit compared to what all the fanboys thought it was going to be capable of. fucking cringefest.

Let me guess you ended up as a faggot

Outside... the before time..

I miss those times so much...

It was shitty man, real fucking shitty.
You had to steal porn from your dad!

ultra autistic sysops and flamewars

The hilarious thing is that social media doesn't deliver anything that those services didn't. It's the same thing sending messages back and forth, only without a "feed" to tell you "this is popular, follow and believe this about what's going on! Trump is a nazi! Hate him!".

Agreed.

Man, I miss this too. Dead malls were fun to go to once in a while, but not when all of them are becoming extinct

...

>Caldor

aw man...

we gonna do this?

DEN WHAT NICKEL

holy shit i havent seen that in a long time

thank you

remember when faggy mall goths were a thing?

Great Meme War of 2016, were you there soldier?

holy shit dat gif

ye

>amounts of hits you got in your subprofile due to your sick buddy icon
No triggering or shaming for being a "bigot". What are times to come back...

Humor itself is being co-opted by Twitter fags that love randumb humor. These faggots pretend to know what depression is, simply for views and reach (youtube.com/watch?v=iuJvZdKlJH8). They are absolute scum that needs to be wiped out.
