>>516787792picture 4chan and forums and IRC chats, incredibly limited video streaming capabilities, and normal websites littered with gifs all over the place. That's pretty much it. It wasn't much better. A lot more free. Around 04-05 things got way better with a lot more video hosting services existing so pirating TV and movies without the necessity of harddrive space was a lot easier. You could stream them on DailyMotion or websites like that and most of these companies didn't even realize it was happening until Youtube got popular in like 2008 or so.

>>516787792Zelda dot com was a porn site. You could find cheat codes for almost any game. There was a Goldeneye N64 fan site that had a link that said “click here if you hate this site.” If you clicked on that link, it told you “Loser! You just betrayed GOLDENEYE!!!” and then redirected you to Barney dot com.

>>516787792It managed to be bigger even though it was smaller (less users). That is one of the biggest changes.
One time I asked myg0t forums for runescape hacks when I was 12 and they gave me a link to a trojan that cascaded infinite windows of a dude with a parrot on his cock.It also blasted "hey everyone, I'm looking at gay porno" through the speakers. Funny times.There was also ytmnd as well, memes before memes.. we were content with lazytown and captain kirk
no politics injected into every facet of life. it was great, people were actually helpful and funny.
>>516789620My nigga
>>516789341oh yeah, because porn was hard to find, we also made LAN network ourselves just to have internet access, because it was extremely expensive to have even 64kbps internet on your own, LAN was amazing, chat and games with friends was kinda fun
now you remember >spinmeat.com
Back in the day sluts posted pics and videos of themselves because they enjoyed being sluts, no money involved, it was a more wholesome eraI also miss all the little websites you could go to for things like mods, forums, music, torrenting etc. now it's all amalgamated into a handful of controlled websites
I remember spamming my Outwar link everywhere, and sites like man dot com and poo dot com were just full screen uncensored chatrooms. No idea what year that was.
>>516789604You weren't confined to both the conversation and the format of the major corporate social platforms. You could do and express anything however you liked. You could start a major publication by accident. It was just a much more open and vast world. It was the frontier, like the American West. There wasn't a ton to actually DO yet, but there was this vast untapped wealth of resources to be discovered in more interesting and intuitive ways than simply having information regurgitated by the same major news outlets or shitty bot accounts on facebook/instagram/twitter/snapchat/tiktok.Also the lack of personal video creation meant you weren't always innundated with some basedfaced faggot screeching about some gay retarded video game. You had to seek that out if you truly wanted something so fucking gay and stupid. You were unshackled from the pure faggotry of the current, modern internet, and you were unshackled from the bonds of traditional media. You chose how you indulged. You chose what you saw. You were the algorithm yourself.
>>516787792Like bags of sand.
>>516787792there was no negativity anywhere, everything was positive vibes and comfy
>>516787792There were pluses and minus to the old internet, but the kill stoke that has destroyed the modern internet was the introduction of bots.
>>516790156>AlsoNo third worlders yet. And the few that were online were confined to their own spaces. Containment zones were much better back then.
>>516788804kek, that's pretty good
times was bettah. yeee'up, aint no denyin' it. used to be we shared memes cuz they were funny, not cause it made some kinda foodangled political statement. didnt have no need for that kinda thing back then. didnt have to make memes of trannies; wasnt no trannies to be making memes of. didnt call each other cucks; wasnt no cucks to be calling cucks in the first place. was a simpler time, a bettah time. used to just laugh at trollface and pedobear, invade habbo hotel and play vidya. now kids dont even play vidya....they watch mulatoo asian dudes watching a mexican gay dude watching a lady with her tits out playing a video game. just aint make no damn sense no moh
>>516789047yup 1pbtid, but at least the younger ones might get some old timey info
>>516787792it was real and hetero
What do you consider as old internet? Internet of the 90ies?
>>516787792Fun fact. I was one of the first, if not THE first to use the term "pwned". It was literally a typo. This was back in 2001/2002 playing counterstrike on my computer in my dorm at North Texas University.
>>516787792It was very different. Absolutely nobody was blackpilled, and maybe .1% of people were redpilled. It was just people being helpful and friendly for the most part. The worst you'd get is political banter, but people could still separate it from other topics. There were no memes (in the modern sense), so no memerot. It was much better.
>>516787792Less retarded zoomers screeching about Israel 24x7. Much more chilled out. Giving dumb fuck zoomers access via smartphones was a mistake.
>>516787792I remember my older sister picking up the phone after waiting 14 hours on 56k for a download to complete the night before. Before we had alternative download software that could pause/resume. So I convinced her boyfriend she was fucking this chill token skater black friend I had. He was livid and left her, trusting my bullshit lie. Her ex boyfriend is a Navy fighter pilot now and my sister still hates my guts for that shit kek

>>516790605you aren't even old enough to buy beer

It was awesome. You could type whatever you wanted and nobody would ban you. I remember finding Hitler remixes on youtube even towards the end when smartphones got popular before the big purge. But back in the early 2000's you could say anything you wanted online. Normies usually stayed IRL so the internet was very niche and catered to young white men and boys as opposed to mud monkeys and women.

>>516787792>What was it like?It was slow so you didn't bork things up with garbage posts.
You are now manually remembering your old, cringe, forum posts, but also how much fun you had making them.
-no what why who question threads asking for your participation Which leads you talking to feds or bots or AI-no meme being spammed on all websites.All culture on all different websites were different in unique ways -uncensorship of the internet Literally could say all that you want also 4chan says cringe and based which is the censored version of cool and gay. So if people are allowed freedom of expression that means everyone talks differently too.-culture was for the people by the people..All influences from the world could go viral not just the pre-approved ones that are selling products or in a secret elite group like illuminati with influencers. -everyones expression was important Finally for the first time in human history if you say something you can get attention for it without any jumping through hoops. Now it's replaced on dead internet world.-gaming space all had different culturesMeet people who would be friends through personality and culture over memes and forced propaganda on the Internet.Etc etc

Comfy.
>>516787792We also had this

>>516793025That and nothing toxic. And it would be looked at highschoolIt was like a game who can look at the gore the most or shock people like a "rick roll" while avoiding teachers. Some people didn't get caught
we used to write testominies for each other
>>516787792Lack of normies and bots was truly amazing. Only big screen users.
>>516787792It was less centralized, there was thousands of forums on every kind of subject you could imagine. I think they used the Boston marathon bombing to pass laws to have greater control of the internet while everyone was distracted. Correct me if I'm wrong.
>>516787792>Do you remember the old internet? What was it like?Comic Sans and Times New Roman.
>>516791728What? I was in college over twenty years ago. Who taught you math?
It was far more social. You’d actually talk with strangers all over the world. Lots of forums.
>>516790156 >Also the lack of personal video creation meant you weren't always innundated with some basedfaced faggot screeching about some gay retarded video game. Then just dont watch it. There are tons of very good yt channels, where in 2008 there were mostly just 360p 4 minute clips of 15 year old teens goofing around. >and you were unshackled from the bonds of traditional media. You chose how you indulged. You chose what you saw. You can do that now. Use presearch for example. >You could do and express anything however you liked. You could start a major publication by accident. You can literally do this right now. There are people in yt comments sections naming the jew and they dont get censored
>>516793058You mean federal agents spouting propaganda to take over the internet to control the free information of the internet to make it propaganda and corporate based over the freedom of speech we had before.Just like this post about gamergate the first sjw outrage with all of the most famous people connected to darpa and how to control people using social media and gaming.
>>516787792Fun. Full of useful and new info. It was so much smaller but felt so much bigger. Not draining but energizing.
>>516793525>then just don't watch itIt's not about not watching it, euronigger retard. I can not watch plenty of things on television, it doesn't change that these channels are essentially blank while something I don't want to watch is on them. Now I'm forced to at least see this type of material by virtue of going onto any platform. If I go on any major platform it will show up for me, even with "remove from feed" options, more will pop up because it's the majority of the internet usage now. You had actual control of what you engaged with at all times. >You can do that nowNo, sadly, I can't. The majority of internet users and major internet material are on major platforms that don't truly allow you to curate what you see outside of strictly the "following" and "subscriptions" tab on Twitter and YouTube respectively. YouTube is retarded lowbudget slop, so I don't use it for anything but music, but the recommended videos are e-celeb drama and video game slop, and I don't indulge in either. Twitter by using the "following" tab exclusively, you're cut off from the majority of the quality of the platform unless you happen to follow every single perfect account for each day. >You can do this right nowNo, you can't. There was a time where there was both true anonymity and when what happened on the internet was completely irrelevant to the general public, regardless of how egregious it may have been to their sensibilities. "Naming the Jew" and "not being censored" aren't the same as constantly having to look over my shoulder and scrub any sort of trace of my real existence from anything I may have, to say anything I believe with impunity, and it doesn't stop somebody from figuring it out, or just accusing me of being "xaccount" that said "x-thing" and losing my livelihood.

>>516795062>Icy TowerAbsolute kino
>>516794138 >You had actual control of what you engaged with at all times. You never had control. Other people were making content that you could consume. It was the same back then as it is now, only now it's maybe more of the same shit. There are about 2 billion websites right now. Search for something that you like, there are many alternatives to youtube. >The majority of internet users and major internet material are on major platforms that don't truly allow you to curate what you see outside of strictly the "following" and "subscriptions" tab on Twitter and YouTube respectively. It's hard to come up with a more efficient system. If you don't want this you are confined to randomly stumble onto interesting content, which is like hoping to find a needle in a wheat field. >and when what happened on the internet was completely irrelevant to the general public It was less relevant, but far from completely irrelevant. 4chan was in the mainstream news in the early 2010s already. >There was a time where there was both true anonymity There was never any anonymity on the web, unless you used the Tor browser. Do you think websites in 2005 did not store your IP, device info, browser fingerprinting etc? Internet Protocols aren't exactly a recent invention. >and it doesn't stop somebody from figuring it out, or just accusing me of being "xaccount" that said "x-thing" and losing my livelihood. Well that's true, depending on what country you live in, some political statements are actually dangerous to post online. But then again, that has nothing to do with the internet as such, but has to do with an individual country's internal politics.

got a guy i knew raided by /b/ oncehis dad was the county tax man and they were faxing shopped pictures of the kid sucking dick and stuff to the office kek... good times
half the videos on YouTube were stick fighting animations
>>516789604Less consumerism - the net is a market for goyslop consumers now. Basically a big marketing and advertising platform now. Free of most advertising save for banner ads.Free of women. Free of tracking. Free of nonWhites (yes seriously, they didn't use it except for Japanese men). It was basically White and Japanese intelligent males in a 90s aesthetic that was just beautiful. This also meant the amount of scams was far less and harmful shit. They're also wasn't that much porno. It's gotten so pervasive and extreme it's unbelievable. Inevitable when normie scum get involved with anything.Of course adding nonwhites, normie males, boomers and women made it a stable for thoughtless cattle to be milked, fed a hugh diet of information and eventually slaughtered (idk what i meant by this, just had to round ot the metaphor with three points!). It's a very sterile, insufferable place with 4chan and a few other islands left surrounded by digital waste and feces from women, shitskins and normie cattle males.You could pull off crazy lucrative (now illegal) shit like cookie stuffing. Black hat was actually fun, covert and esoteric. Like everything else, it goes down the shitter once smarter jap and white males aren't the club. It was art, now soulless plunder.
Ebaumsworld anyone?
>>516795676>Other people were making content you could consumeNo, that's what you don't get. You weren't watching people. You were having conversations with people and making your own things. And, NO, actually, regardless of the sheer number of websites, it won't change YouTube/Twitch/Kick as dominant platforms where nearly every single video is produced or posted. You're being a fucking retard.>Hard to come up with a more efficient systemThis is the point you Europoor retard. The fact that there was no system before. I sought out things I wanted to read, or interact with. There weren't "content creators" there were a few random blogs, and then forums and IRC chats. You have no fucking clue what you're replying to even apparently. >Do you think websites in 2005 didn't store your IPYou're a fucking retard, man. Proxies and VPNs existed forever. Ways to mask existed forever. Not to mention you weren't forced to be a registered user for every fucking website you went on to. >That has nothing to do with the internet as suchit absolutely does, because it's gone from a place with virtually no regulation for specific people looking for specific things and not often viewed by the general public to being this massive slopheap that everybody is constantly staring at. All of your arguments are just fundamentally misunderstanding the internet probably pre-your birth and assuming it's the same thing but now with more going on. There weren't "content creators" you retarded faggot. Those Smosh faggots became popular in 08-09. Much later than we're talking about. 2009-2016 isn't some long lost old internet, it's virtually the exact same fucking place you're in right now.

>>516795615Wait till I hit you with Pocket Tanks my brother.
>>516787792It all started with yahoo chat in the late 90s. I remember the 'men meet men' was by far the most popular chat room. It was honestly a real mind blower to all of a sudden just start talking to people all over the world for free. Forums werent around yet, just usenet which you could access in browsers like Netscape.
>>516787792There were two phases of old internet. Really early phase (late 90s-2000) it was poorly made websites with flash images and. The next stage was sites with ui similar to newgrounds and lots of COD, WoW montages of clans like BTK, dota, etc.
>>516796416I never knew how this fucking name was supposed to be pronounced. >>516795797Lol. Good one.

>>516787792Things were far less sterile, and people were allowed to genuinely enjoy things. You had less bandwidth by way of it being jury rigged with what was already established, instead of being artificially throttled to make room for infinite autogenerated corporate dogshit.
>>516797330>eyes hurt from crtI miss the days when my back would hurt after spending too much time on the computer. I don't get that anymore. It wasn't just a physical thing. It was partially your nerves and whole cns being fried. I'm TOO strong now.
Anybody else had his fucking mind blown when they first released Google Earth?I know it's not really early internet, but still.
>>516797682Like I said, this happens when the rabble is brought in. Once something is consumed by the masses, it sinks to their level. It has to be made to appeal to them.It was high IQ jap and White man's domain. Then normies came in, women and nonWhites came also and ruined it.Just like video games, rock music (which did not survive this process) and all art.

Yes that's actually terrible. >All of your arguments are just fundamentally misunderstanding the internet probably pre-your birth and assuming it's the same thing but now with more going on. I was born in 1990. I remember the pre-2008 web as game forums, ogrish.com and wikipedia. >There weren't "content creators" Depends on how you define "content creator". In a way we are creating content right now. We create text for others to read. We just do it for free. You probably mean commercialized types of content. There were much less people who tried to live off the internet and I believe it is simply because bandwith was the limiting factor pre-2008, that made it impossible to create long high definition videos. The blog had it's place during that ancient time but pretty much died in the early 2010s when highspeed internet became the norm. This is not my interpretation by the way, but the words of Curtis Yarvin, who is one of the early adopters and early political bloggers.>I sought out things I wanted to read, or interact with. How is that different to what you're doing now? The problem with having to actively search for things is that you need to know exactly what you want to look for beforehand. You're pretty much bound by your own knowledge and imagination. Youtube's algorhitms introduced me to things I didn't even knew I could find interesting. >You were having conversations with people and making your own things. You can still do this, there are a ton of forums.
>>516797784I remember showing it to someone for the first time and he spent like two hours just zooming around the earth. He really liked looking at India for some reason. We find an area of delhi that was just a sea of gray roofs and then a single lone tree in an intersection.When I showed him street view he just stood up and started pacing around the room. He just couldn't believe that people had been driving around taking pictures all over the world and you could access it all for free on a web browser without even needing some account.
>>516787792Ill say this since no one else has, it was a lot less engaging. It was not a place where you would spend more than a couple of hours unless you were playing games with buds. It also was much less "real" if that makes sense.Nowadays the internet is like a second reality and you see people who spend like 10 hours a day on their laptop. Its kind of sickening how "engagement optimized" everything is now to the point that addiction is the expectation rather than an unfortunate side effect of using the internet and social platforms.
>>516787792It wasn't Jewish-dominated the way the modern Internet is. >search for any topic>first result is a woman>second result is a nigger>third result is a so¿face review video>fourth result is irrelevant >go through bookmarks/yandex>exactly what you searched for is still there, but hiddenNow imagine how much human potential the Jews are snuffing out every day.

>>516798923>How is that different than what you're doing nowBecause the bulk of the internet takes place on these major platforms. News stories, athletes, anything redeemable for journalism or writing all appear there. Comedy appears there. You can't just seek out places with similar interests and ideas, you're forced to be inundated with third worlder shit and teenagers in order to engage with anything of any sort of quality. >You can still do thisNo, you can't. I have HF boards I can use and have been using for 20ish years, and that's the only place. You don't have forums anymore, and to pretend you do is an outright lie. You'd have conversation, as quickly as you do on here, with a wealth of responses. Now everything is just begging for visibility in a comment/twitter thread. >Depends on how you define contentThis is the problem as well, all slop is the same slop with this umbrella term attached to is. But we all grasp that "content" in this context is always "material meant for audiences and consumption" not "the literal creation of a thing that is visible now"

oh and remember how every nostalgia riding fanboy rushed to buy vanila wow from most corrupted company that exactly for that purpose dug up its grave and reanimated its corpse for $60 only for it to flop after everyone made their character and used up fun larping around and few dungeons worth mentioning then to milk it further they invented hardcore and filled servers with bots Romanticizing past is just retarded

>>516799543That was the best part desu, people still lived normal lives and just used the internet to fuck around/research any topic/do work email, and if someone was edgy you'd just have to deal with it. You had your normal circle of friends, then maybe a few of you had AIM and chatted alongside normal life afterhours. But then Jews like (((Mark Zuckerberg))) wanted to erase the boundary between real life and the Internet, and with that erasure came all of the speech patrolling that exists in modern amerigoy society. >>516797163>puke inducing abusive uglinessYes but even normal porn wasn't subversive enough for the Jews so they decided to spam incest and chittering beaners EVERYWHERE since they own all the porn sites.

>>516799866 >Because the bulk of the internet takes place on these major platforms People just naturally gravitate towards the same places and this is especially true for social media sites, as those sites get more attractive with more users. Mass attracts mass. You always get those conglomerations if you let a system run freely for long enough.>You don't have forums anymore reddit, somethingawful, neoseeker, resetera, gearspace, metabunk etc. It's not dead.
>>516787792>Do you remember the old internet? What was it like?Used to be hobby oriented, and a fun place. Now it's a way of life for many, and mostly a serious place. Boo.
>>516787792there were no niggers in the old internet because they weren’t able to solve the captcha
heather deepthroat my beloved…
>>516787792comfy
I liked niche forums. Every hobby or subject had an independent forum. Then Reddit erased them all.
>>516789620Endless hours of laughter
Does anyone remember this really old newgrounds clip? It was a short loop with, I think it was goku, sliding across the ground, while some strange music played. It was spammed similar to a rickroll.
>>516801406>reddit>somethingawfulah okay, so leftist retard slop and a forum that died before /b/ got popular lol. >People gravitate to the same placesYes, precisely. The internet wasn't that for nearly two decades. It was a place for people with the ability and money to go online and seek out niche interests or conversation. Not a global town square for specifically American politics critiqued by brown third worlders, or teenage brown people screeching about video games and e-celebs.
im 40yrs old and been on the world wide web since 1994, AMA. And yes I still play CS 1.6 with my russian and south american bros
back when memes meant something.
>>516801555damn that's a deep cut. I'm gonna have to pull up some old vids for nostalgia's sake.
>>516787792>No niggers as they were too stupid to operate computers before they were turned into Fisher-Price toys. >No social media so every thought and action you took wasn't reviewed by a council of antiwhite jewish monsters vying to ruin your life>women thought it was for dorks so we literally had a frencave boys club on every game and message board>the barrier to access kept it as a fun way to keep in touch with people while still prioritizing in-person meetings as the primary source of social interaction>Governments mostly did mot have the means to spread their disgusting degenerate ideologies on us as broadcast media still had strict decency standards in place>Anonymity was of utmost importance and everyone understood that>Boomers were too stupid to use it>Jeets and other thirdie mongrels did not have the infrastructure to access it, so most interactions were with other intelligent people >Porn was present, but the inconvenience of accessing it kept gooner life-ruining habits in check>Piracy was based because jews did not yet understand how to track and enforce jewish drm scams>Physical media and events were king.

>>516787792Internet felt comfier and more niche in the 2000s. By 2012 everyone was on the internet.
>>516787792Real fun.There was Yahoo answers and Facebook Q/A as well as Youtube comments being uncensored and a place where you could actually talk to people.Then the indian plague came and everything went to shit.
>>516801975sums up every point I would've made. Basically just picture the internet with virtually no (((social media))) and users being 98% white men. It was literally a simpler and better time, simple as
>>516787792This was the good ol days, 2 dollars an hour at the pc spots, smoke a lil drink a lil wit the homies playing cs and dota
>>516787792Sucked
I remember looking for random forums for a game or something and it would have a lot of people talking daily about random things, you would make friends and find out they had their own forum on whatever that free forum hoster was. For actual websites they'd have a little friends section and it would link to similar sites or things they like. I miss the dumb little signatures and avatars you'd make, or the little post gimmicks you'd put in every post.I guess it's why discord took off, it's an easy way to make a community compared to reddit or something which is a lot more surface level on every topic.
>>516796260Yes thanks for rephrasing my post>>516801975but putting it in greentext for dipshit zoomers who can't relate to paragraphs.
Please don't spoonfeed them. This isn't a genuine thread.
>>516788351That's doesn't make you an oldfag though.
>>516787792Anyone remember this?
BBS fag here.i was probably online before most of you were not even born.make no mistake faggots.this is the worst timeline.we will suffer together.
>>516787792It was great
>>516788351a lot of thread just gets recycled by bots and operators.some with the same pastas and same picrels.
There used to be a joke on the internet that there were no women on the internet. Then Facebook happened and women started to be on the internet.
>>516787792it was weird, and shit was fucked up. There were ads for growing your dick 6 inches in 2 weeks, there was an old woman's photo of her peeling her old face skin off and it was a young face underneath for some bullshit anti aging ad. God the ads were so weird, server admins would ban you for destroying them. I remember playing red orchestra ostfront 41-45 on my PC in my bedroom, and shit like world of warcraft. I would be in my pyjama shorts, eating mini swiss rolls that my nana used to buy me, in my room at my desk gamimg with my brother who was in his room doing the same thing. Grandad used to drive us to Dalton Le Dale to see the castle and chill out in the sun, climbing and marvelling at what the architecture was like, we used to go in the sea as well to swim, yes the north sea, and shit was comfy. Every day me and my brother would be gaming, and then when we grew up a bit we got our xboxes and call of duty and became teenagers, on new microphones we'd never had before, actually speaking to our friends online. And making new friends as well, shit was weird but good. The old internet is pure memory and nostalgia, the older internet made a noise when you used i.
>>516804824oldfags unfortunately know how true that picrel really is. I pity the zoomer who doesn't know the joys of vidya in the pre-tranny world
>>516805327scratching off your xbox gold membership so you could get on with the boys, fuck man, take me back
The old Internet was only better because it was filled with less corporations or they were less jewish in behaviour. Otherwise its exactly the same as it was 10-20 years ago in niche places
>>516787792It could go back to it if you take away the advertisement bucks that make influencers comply to the rules and regulations standards of the websites and streaming platforms.once they started paying these e-celebs to cuck to they're narratives we lost.
Was anyone here H2K forum member???
>>516805656I didn't know anything, I didn't know about jews, about jesus, about god, about satan, about masons, about microtechnology, nothing. I was comfy, in a bubble. I thought the pinnacle of life was to get a job and go to work, yet all I wanted was to game. The old internet was playing cod world at war zombies late into the night at your friend's house. No drugs, no alcohol, just gaming. The old internet is like the old world, and now almost as alien as tartaria.
>>516804824Facebook was fine when you needed a .edu address. Most posts were like "my band is playing at the bar downtown friday", "beach trip sat who's in?", and "who has their old tests for ch101?" It was basically a big group chat. Went downhill as soon as everyone else was allowed to use.
>>516806474It was a different and much better time for sure.
>>516787792I miss angelfire and geocities, it was so much better without the third world retard hordes online via ubiquitous wifi smart phone connections.
>>5168064742007 was a turning point >>Their simple interface brought retards, women, and third worlders Internet access. And all tech is getting dragged down as a resultcorrect, 2007 was the tipping year>iPhone>Tumblr>Facebook goes public>Big Bang Theory tv programming pushing geek-nerd cult-ureEven Steve Wozniak admits he fucked up and unleashed Pandoras Box:>https://youtu.be/LBrSnzPqeJY?t=32
>>516788124You couldn't be more wrong, retard. You didn't spend time on it, because what the internet had to offer wasn't served on a plate to you on a phone on a social media app. It was unmoderated and wild. Forums and Torrent sites and chatrooms and ICQ. There weren't adds adds ADDS everywhere. Boomers weren't on it, or if they were, they were the weird uncle type ones that were old school nerds or into some kind of a niche science. Agree to cookies, solve a captcha, watch a video, skip an add. None of that bullshit.
>>516807251Nigger really saying he loves bot spam
>>516787792It was like a Ferrari...today the internet is like a furry covered in feces on its death bed from AIDs.
>>516801975God it was kino.
>>516787792Better because the normalfags were gatekept out of it by their own IQ and attention span.
>>516807119Gross if you zoom in on Howard's crotch you can see the tip of his uncircumsized downtown mixup. For a character that's supposed to be Jewish that seems very off-brand.
>>516788393This is actually true and it will only get worse not even half of Africa and India and alot of third world countries doesnt have access to the internet
>>516787792games like csgo ran on basic bitch PCs. was a better time
>>516787792you can still play counter strike
if you haven't played scorched earth on DOS with a bunch of dudes huddled around a PC you haven't lived
>>516804524SO FUCKING NO ONE THEN!
>>516807251Found usenet traffic from a computer at work and had to explain to a kid managing the firewall why I put it a request to block it.

I liked playing games before every faggot has to make some in-depth meta report and SBMM. I miss being able to find forums on Google because the front page wasn't just top 10 jeet sites. Games too without party voice chat was way better. If you wanna be in the presence of other people you had to talk.Also enjoyed how the Internet was a great filter for idiots. Dumbass boomer wants to watch a porn video? Get a virus. (They still do with emails). But you had to at least know how to be safe. Also, what happened to "never post your personal information online?" Now everyone does it. Also if I wanted to learn something I'd be able to go down a rabbit hole of forums and cool websites and interesting blogs vs reddit + Google Gemini as the results.
>>516790449Looking back, AOL was like a step one of making the internet into a normalfag thing. Then step two was widespread broadband, step 3 was social media, and the final step was putting a smartphone in everyone's pocket.
>>516808929Also just a lack of third worlders and Jeets and chinks was amazing. Internet felt alive with real people instead of a billion shit eaters bot spamming SEO and flooding everything with low IQ shit.
>>516801975succinct summary, sadly...
>started noticing a sharp increase in ebonics and jeet accents in online games in the last yearit just gets more and more tiring bros they are even in my autistic simulators
>>516807840Yeah but community servers are practically nonexistent and everyone plays this 5v5 thing
>>516801975That just about sums it up. God damn, I miss it.
>>516788124>>516807251>>516807406You`re Balkaners, you never had access to the internet.
>>516811396Between the AI slop and boomer nigger retards I think I might actually be done with using the internet these days. The Mennonite & Amish were right.
>>516807655We have to make a great firewall of our own at some point. You can already geofilter for games so you only connect with other white people which is an amazing experience, but we need to go all the way. Implement geofiltering across the board on the internet. Leave all the swarthoids in their own containment zone. It's already bad enough as it is, I dread to think of what it's going to be like as even more jeets and apefricans get internet access.
>>516787792It was great. Used to antagonize B in gs about Lady Diana and would convince jeets that grease fires and maritime accidents were the the top two killers of Americans. It was a better time.
>>516796260>Free of women.>Free of nonWhites (yes seriously, they didn't use it except for Japanese men).These. The entire internet in the early 2000's was basically a gigantic version of 4chan. Women and non-Japanese nonwhites ruin everything.
>>516787792>Do you remember the old internet? What was it like?Nigger-free digital wheat fields of hope & optimism. You could give out your email address & get a 'pen-pal' not Nigerian scammer spam.

>>516787792I used to join normal chats in Spanish that were populated by both Spaniards and latinos, and there was a ton of CP.. yeah, CP, spawned there, as in.. each 5 minutes or so.And this was a normal chat I joined to meet girls my age.And I met girls 13, 14, 16, yo there.

>>516815660We can have it back and everything else good. Just require 130+ iqs for use. Only White and Japs could qualify
>>516787792Too much greatness to detail, it would take hours. It had its own problems like anything, but different problems. The biggest difference is the people who were online weren't fatiguing to be around, that's what I miss more than anything.
>>516817621It's likely more prevalent today with the platforms that exist now. "Changes" were made to make the internet safer. The result? Shit internet but still cheese pizza.
>>516787792It was amazing. Pure anarchy, and virtually 100% White people online. Anything you wanted to see or discuss was available at your fingertips, and was purely neutral. No shit skins, no zog monitoring, not corporate bullshit, no rage, or faggotry. It was a digital utopia. Then came the jew corporations to make money, and their lobbying to get regulations that benefited them, and then the spread of the internet to subhumans so the jew corporations could make more money.It was a lot like history.
