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.
“The Doors” fans forum in the late 90s. I don’t even remember what we talked about (it wasn’t about The Doors most of the time) but I loved the people there. They listened and responded with kindness and patience. I made several friends there and even went abroad to meet some of them in person.
Webpages that could get created in 5 minutes without a super fancy editor and excessive coding - good times!
“Dancing Babies” & “Flying Toaster” GIFs everywhere!
