Oh god, yes. I remember how once it felt like an adventure scrolling around the net. It was amazing to me when I was a kid!

I don't miss those days at all because the internet was sloooowwww moving compared to how pages load immediately now. Plus you can see things on your phone now!

What I do miss is the community feel on some sites. My local newspaper had set up a community forum and I'm STILL friends with those people today which is quite an accomplishment.

I agree with the second statement. aonce the internet felt like a real adventure.

My idea of the "early internet" is probably going to be slightly different to you guys. But I do miss the old days of coming home from school, logging onto MSN and just talking to your friends whilst playing the online MMO's. Those were the good "old days"

Nah I think our idea is roughly similar actually. I used to love coming home from school and playing jk3 in middle school.

Nah, not really. In fact, I like today's internet technology a whole lot better than before. PHP, CSS, etc! Love it!

True the technology is better, but it's also alot more corporate now.

 

[Drac Morbis]

Yes perhaps. Plus everyone is trying to police the internet, but it's a global thing. Should be free and open source as they say.

Agreed. I miss the days of decentralized internet where the landscape was dominated by forums.

 

[Drac Morbis]

I had one in like 2000.

Hell yeah man! What was it about?

 

[Drac Morbis]

It was adult fantasy. LOL

 

[Abizaga]

It was adult fantasy. LOL

Ahahahah nice! Was it active?

 

[Drac Morbis]

Yes it blew up. 2000+ hits daily and I started taking adult erotica story submissions.

Yep, same here. I miss those days of the Internet big time.

 

[Abizaga]

Hell yeah. Back when it wasn't about social media...

 

[Kale]

Hell yeah. Back when it wasn't about social media...

Oh, yeah for sure. I dislike social media but have accounts anyway.

Oh, yeah for sure. I dislike social media but have accounts anyway.

Sure. Soon social media will be a thing of the past. People are slowly moving away from social media.

 

[Drac Morbis]

Oh, yeah for sure. I dislike social media but have accounts anyway.

I deleted my FB and YT. Now I use decentralized networks that are user driven. Like them much better!
