When the userbase was made of nerds and the freedom we enjoyed up until ten years ago.

Here? About 1995, would be slightly earlier in Ameriburgerland.

the userbase stopped being majority nerds by 1995 at the latest, it just wasn't as apparent if you were a nerd because things weren't so well connected yet and non-nerds mostly confined themselves to stuff like reading the news and looking up flight times.

If this is done by the site itself, then why do this? It would drive away new potential long term users once they sniffed that out.

If it's done by an NGO, then I get it: kill the site.

1996 - 2004
