Cranking the web back to 1996.

[numbnuts240]

pretty sure i didn't learn about the internet until 1999. brown people problems.

It was a brilliant scheme. Give out a "Top 5%" award to every crappy page on pages.prodigy.net, Geocities, or members.aol.com, then get people to click the badge and visit your directory/search site at pointcom.com

WEB 1.0. SO NAIVE.

In 1996 the internet was something my dad used in the laundry room with the door closed.

Jesda, meet you in Yahoo Chat:1. On cheetachat, brah.

[Jesda]

When Yahoo first got voice chat I used to yell at strangers for no reason. I'd sometimes put an annoying Britney Spears song on repeat and leave a weight on the space bar to play it in the chatroom over and over, then leave my apartment for hours.

Smart people would block me, but most folks weren't that bright.

[Amays U G37S]

The general public, is uhm..... the general public.......

I was never for the voice chat. And I could block the whole room cept people on cheetachat. /snicker

THAT WAS YOU?!?!?!

I think I was too young to remember late 90s internetz. The only thing I remember is a p0rn page taking 5 minutes to laod

[darens13]

i just remember my mom teaching me how to use search engines so i could look for skateboards when i was like 10. before that my only use on the computer was shooting little animals and dying from dysentery on oregon trail.

yeah, surfing p0rn back in the day was real work. Watching pics render line by line on a dial-up connection.

"yes, yes, bewbies, nipples, whoa appendix scar! Back back back!"
"f***, five minutes wasted and now I'm flaccid."

[Jesda]

The worst was when a picture of a transmission loaded, and you didnt know until you were halfway done fapping as the image crawled down.


Just kidding it was a bonus.

[themadscientist]

I know all there is to know about the crying game........

BBSing. I think I just exceeded my nerd quota for the week.

[skydragoness]

HAHA

Prodigy.net. I remember them. Remember when you could buy a desktop computer for $200 if you signed up for a 2 yr contract with an ISP provider? And how many there were? I remember the crappy Compaq we had in 96-97 and all the viruses it got. AOL chat rooms. I also recall my brother using the computer and my sister smashing buttons on the phone upstairs to make it lose the connection. Lots of sibling fights back then because there was only one phone line. Good times.

I always thought GeoCities was a stupid name for a webhosting portal. I still think so.

I still turn up useful stuff on dead or geocities sites when searching for obscure things sometimes. Lots of Red Dwarf sound clips on one, for instance.

[Mr1der]

man, I forgot about yahoo chat...I used to get girls to show me some boob on that when I was bored...

[alms24sebring]

yeah right. I always got pics from pornsites and said that was them. Great pics but never the real thing. I dont miss those e-'hot cali girls' at all.

YOU MUST PLAY DIGITAL. You will appreciate its excellence.

[Jesda]

Ooooh. I suddenly feel like drawing ANSI graphics!

[themadscientist]

[Pento240sx]

Yea I rember AOL chat and all the: "Hello. a/s/l? any nude pics?" And the 90 day trial CDs we used to get in the mail. I remember trying to watch p0rn at night when everyone was asleep but the Dial-up was so loud and it would take like 15 to 30 minutes to watch a crappy Pron clip.

[themadscientist]

fappers today have it too easy. In my day it took five minutes to load up the bewbies and we were happy about it!

[Mr1der]

I remember the early grainy days of webcams...fun times!

[Jesda]

lol, black and white connectix quickcam on CUSeeMe

[HashiriyaS14]

I had a friend whose parrot made the modem connection noise.

It was awful.

[Mr1der]

I can feel the quad city DJ's song getting stuck in my head now...

[Jesda]

I am greatly pleased with how fast that site loads.
