If you where not retarded you open the next image in another tab therefore having a buffer. 2005 these where the days!

>Waiting several minutes for one image to load
Unironically YES.

It literally prevented the entshitification of the internet by bloated web pages who now shit out 50 images and 5 auto playing video ads when you try to brows something. It also did create a culture of collecting files locally because you where suposed to SAVE the content from the internet locally to view later.

It also prevented the terminally online zoomeroids from existing since you got tiered and did something else.

For me it was Lara Croft with some hilariously bad shooped boobas (a dot for areolae/nipples and strangely blurry round tits on an otherwise stock really polygony body)

Several forums and posting in many different threads. Textboards are forums too, btw.

I liked the promise of progressive image loading where it starts blocky. But I don't remember seeing it used much and then high speed internet took over

I'm sure I faped that fake as well. Also a friend asked me to print it so he could jerk too.

>>107092708
You could buy porn on CDs, usually came with a thumbnail and picture viewer. Not just random bootleg looking, sharpie written discs but actually printed.
>>
>>107092915
Damn. Is this real? Does the internet really look like that without adblockers? How do NPCs even?

I would ballpark that at least 99% of the internet is unusable bullshit websites like that.

No one fucking had "tabs" in their browser in the 1990s, and even if they did it would not make a goddamn bit of difference to maxing out your dialup modem bandwidth, you ignorant underaged fucking retard.

I know exactly what you're going to do now, you're going to run to google like the crying zoomer baby you are and try to look up "when was first tabbed browser invented" and think you know the correct answer
>>

>in the 1990s
What part of 2005 did you fail to understand?

>1990s
Ever think to open a separate WINDOW?

>he crying zoomer baby you are and try to look up "when was first tabbed browser invented"
How about I remember that I used tabs in FF1 around 2003 or 2004?

yeah brah *sips* loading pcx files from hentai games cg on sea

>>107096754
Yes, it always amazes me to watch NPCs or normies browsing like that. I mean, I'm far from autistic or ocd but blinking shit like that would drive me nuts.

I'd wager 80% of people don't use adblock. I sometimes wonder if they're fully human, fully self-aware.

>>107098386
There was always someone that didn't understand the concept and used the full image as the thumbnail
