Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?
I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.
Stickdeath, Yahooligans, Geocities/Angelfire/Tripod, and of course MSN Messenger. I still use the notification sound from MSN as my text tone on my phone. Just feels right.\
That and traditional Web Forums. They're still around obviously, but not quite the same as they used to be.
I’m pretty sure that’s technically still Web2 you’re talking about, but I remember back in the day I would sometimes go to cracked flash game sites to play flash games with cheats (I was like 8)
Yeah, some of them were baller and now lost to time. Like Nickelodeon had an Avatar: The Last Airbender 3D penguin sledding game, man I would love to be able to play that again
