I like browsing "the old Internet". What's the earliest case of someone discussing your favourite show or movie online?
I used to download south park episodes when they first came out on ircI remember doing !list or whatever, I forget how it all worked.
You can witness the birth of the furry movement in the old Tiny Toons threads
>>218420723you can witness the birth of the furry movement in ancient pagan rituals and Egyptian hieroglyphics
>>218420723tell me more
>I like browsing "the old Internet".tried to look at bash.org the other day, apparently it died in 2023? sad
>>218420673Interesting thing about browsing really old Simpsons threads is that the original fanbase who got with the show in Season 1 *hated* season 4 in what's now usually considered to be the start of the golden age, or at least part of it. They liked the much more grounded first 3 seasons.
>>218420780lmao a quote from me when I was a 14 year old retard on irc is on there
>>218420797As a day 1 viewer it went downhill with season 5's extreme wackiness both in tone and animation.
>>218420797Do you have examples?
A few years ago I managed to find this on the wayback machine - my earliest surviving post on the internet is on this Animorphs fan forum from 1999https://web.archive.org/web/19990903203548/https://insidetheweb.com/messageboard/mbs.cgi/mb108633
I'm pretty sure I posted on the Duck & Cover Fallout fansite forums with the username BadSeed.
>>218420723QRD?
>>218420873Man http://home.beseen.com/youth/baraka_13 wasn't archived, wonder if he even remembers making it.Wish I could find all my old shitty Geocities websites
>>218420873>1999geez unc, you should be put down
I miss Google+

We need to go back to the good old days of 4chan. I remember discovering this site in 2018 and it was peak. It's gone majorly downhill since then
>>218421000Heh, that was my post I'm disappointed that it's not archived either. From what I can remember it was a typical "everything and nothing" personal page from that era - just inane shit about my interests and hobbies at the time, as was "the old site" that I referenced in that post, which was hosted on the long-dead goplay.com. No idea if that one is archived as I don't remember the url.I later had a personal page on Geocities, which isn't archived, and a Dragon Ball Z page on Maxpages which I don't remember the url of. I also had a Pokemon website on Tripod that had a few million hits (big numbers in those days) but I don't remember the name of that one either.
>>218421040>you get s hard boner just when her butt cheeks are as big as two watermelonscouldn’t have said it better myself. also dylan is obviously a kid himself
>>218421025I was born in 1971. What should happen to me?
>>218421025go perm your hair like a woman in the 1950s, faggot
>>218421077newfag
>>218421158I watched this haircut become popular with kids and then them grow up to become grizzled coke abusing brickies with red leathery faces and they kept haircut. I don't think combining broccoli cut and 67 is even the same gen. Broc cut is actually pretty dated now. Man 67 is pretty dated now
>>218421192>Broc cut is actually pretty dated now.It's definitely passed its peak but I still see quite a few teenagers walking around with their old lady perms.
>>218421146You should die and stop wasting resources.
>>218421077>4chan>2018>peakOh my sweat summer child.
>>218421166Unc 8 years of browsing isn't new
>>218421228>Oh my sweat summer child.Holy cringe
>>218421237I’ve been here 15 years and still they say I will be a newfag forever
>>218421077This bait is too on the nose but actual newfags and election tourists will still take it.
>>218421216Oh. How thoughtful. I'm sure some incel faggot is way more important. Here's a hamburger
My parents got charged $1k for me as a 10 year old to sex chat with adults in chat rooms in 1998. I was a perverted kid and I’m sure I made some pedo’s day
>>218421259I was one of those pedos
>>218421259I remember chatting with some dude in a chat room and he thought I was an adult and sent me a photo of his wife's tits. I panicked and told him I was a kid, then he started panicking and begging me to delete it. I started masturbating shortly after that and got plenty of mileage out of those milkers
>>218421259I was "molested" via webcam by a woman in her 30s when I was 13. I put molested in quotes because although I don't think it affected my life in any meaningful way, when she showed her face she was extremely unattractive so I didn't exactly feel good about it.
>>218421269That was me. I sent that pic. She and I got divorced shortly after when are find out I was sending her nudes to kids on the Internet for them to bust a nut to. Good times
>>218421237Shut the fuck up and lurk more.
>>218421295That was my sister. I put her up to that

>>218421314>mfw I came here in 2010 for MLP>mfw i have no face
>>218420673I was browsing my cunt's forum and I read how slightly triggered they were that they've translated the Desperate Housewives as just Housweives.
>>218421259>My parents got charged $1khow?
>>218420723Furry freaks long, LONG predate Tiny Toom Adventures, and even the Internet. Even their modern incarnation dates as far back as the 1960's, and was primarily enabled by the advent of "Zines" and "Zine Culture".You're only referring to the "birth" of their Internet-age incarnation.
>>218421314>4chan was so much less gay when it was filled with avatarfagging AGP weebs
>>218421862yes, thats right
>>218420723You've never heard of Fritz the Cat?
I used to be a big King of Fighters, I can believe this site is still up from the late 90shttps://www.geocities.ws/multimediocreknight/church.html
>>218421862if you look at screenshots from like the WINRAR days it’s pretty embarrassing lol
>>218421314I'm an 08 newfag
>>218422035*Cant
>>218421337I was 30 back in 2007. On another message board there were mentions of this 4chan site where there was apparently total chaos and rickrolls and memes. Decided to check it out.It's current year and I'm almost 50 now. And still here. If you'd see me in real life you'd see an upper middle class normie, wife, kids, job, and two cars in the garage. You wouldn't even suspect I'd even heard of this place.But the pull of anonymously calling people niggers and fags is strong.
>>218420780i didn't even know he was sick. i still have something aliased from like two decades ago to fetch random quotes. tears in the rain...
>>218420873mine would be on gamefaqs or a small book forum i think, boy i sure hope that site doesn't exist any more and escaped being archived
>>218421040why on earth would you miss that??google+ was the early wave of enshittification and making UI more user-unfriendly
>>218421216No, that should happen to worthless zoomer retards as a whole.
>>218420673Most of the old Internet has been deliberately purged
sorry for posting this
>I'm looking for pictures of Bart SimpsonWhy not just Google for them? Dumb unc.
>Straczynski is a long-time participant in Usenet and other early computer networks, interacting with fans through various online forums (including GEnie, CompuServe, and America Online) since 1984. He is credited as being the first TV producer to directly engage with fans on the Internet[4][5] and to allow viewer viewpoints to influence the look and feel of his show (see Babylon 5's use of the Internet). Two prominent areas where he had a presence were GEnie and the newsgroup rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated.

>>218422375I remember when google images first came out, I was utterly amazed you could just type in anything and an image would show up.Me and my friends at school would be in the computer lab looking up images.
>>218422347wew lad
>>218422485Late millenials will fondly remember when computers with internet access started becoming ubiquitous in schools, but site blockers weren't widespread yet.
I miss the internet when it was free of retards and third worlders.
>>218421237Agreed, I've been here since 2020 but my levels of OC and quality of discussion probably outshine most people who have been here since the 2000s
>>218422097sadbrag
>>218420673The internet was invented to discuss Star Trek
>>218422347honestly not even cringe we are so far past that point that it's nostalgic. Like seeing pictures of yourself with a stupid haircut as a kid. When you're a teen it's embarrassing but as an adult it's endearing. Not that I did any of the faggy shit pictured but I most definitely saw it happen. Most those kids are probably ascended autist normies today

>>2184213142007How do I get frames back
>>218420673I like browsing old /tv/ threads in the archive.like I find some Tv show or movie to watch I go to the archive and search for the oldest thread about this show.
>>218421314I started shitposting back in 2006.crazy that its been 20 years of this, but here I am.
>>218421077I am just sick of the current buzzword era, everyone is like speaking to personifications of Buzzfeed now. You cannot make a popular thread without knowing how to gamify keywords to attract attention. I am too old for that its frustrating so all my threads die. There is a template out there 19 year olds know about and I am 40s.
>>218422772I’ve heard people complain about how nobody takes anything seriously these days but this is a reminder that things haven’t changed much
>>218422728Star Trek was invented to promote homosexuality
>>218423351I bet Devin looks like this now
>>218420673A BBS I frequented in the mid 80s celebrated the 20th anniversary of the creation of Star Trek.

>>218420673Are you Steven Spielberg? The man behind ET, Jurassic Park, Jaws and all that?' He replied: 'Yes, certainly.'
>>218427403the incredulous look on Mike's face as Bimmy was telling that story
>>218420673Why is he looking for images of Bart Simpson? What kind of images is he looking for?
Man. When I first got adsl as a teenager in like 2001 and started downloading shit from kazaa it was pretty wild. You'd try to download a song and you'd end up getting the bill Clinton speech about Lewinsky how he did not have sexual relationships with that woman. If you tried to download a music video if was a toss up between getting some gore video or child porn instead of the actual music video
>>218420673I was a big part of aus.tv.xfiles on Usenet back in the mid-90’s before HTML ruined the internet. Does that count?
>>218427625Initially I assume he might want porn but my older cousin literally had floppy disks with random dbz images and gifs. I never understood it. People older than me just liked looking at images of characters they liked.
>>218427697maybe he just thinks they're neat
>>218421025‘72 kid here. Nice to know you’ll never have a good job, own a house, get married or have kids. You’re going to wake up poor alone and unemployed one day in your forties, log on to the internet (which will just be one site owned by Israel) and wonder where it all went wrong.Good thing the suicide pods will be free and every apartment block will have them.
>>218422626You mean when it was mostly Americans. Foreigners ruined it.
>>218427726I never said he didn't and I'm happy he got enjoyment out of it. I just didn't get it. Cool dude you got an image of ssj2 goku. Am I supposed to stare at it? I'll just watch the show.
>>218421249>election touristsWay to prove your newfaggotry, newfag.
any other zeldauniverse fags here? that's where I learned about 4chan
>>218427697ah shit you just unlocked a memory.This would have been 1997 or 1998 because I had a PC but not the internet yet. I was 11 or 12. My buddy had a floppy disk of porn pics he'd gotten somewhere, and he was going to sell it to this kid for $20. Buddy didn't have a computer, and the buyer wanted to see the goods first, so buddy offered me $5 if we could use my computer to show it to him. I said fine and we did it that day after school.The next day the idiot kid who bought it brought the disk to school to look at it on the school's computers, got caught with it, and told the entire story including my involvement, which lead to an extremely award situation where the principal brought us into his office and loaded the dick on his computer in front of us. This was before thumbnailed images were universal, so it was just a bunch of file names like cornhole.jpg and blondewhore.gifHe ended up calling my mom about it, and surprisingly I didn't catch any shit over it, but man was that awkward.
>>218427840That's hilarious. We must be the same age.
>>218421192I heard a broccoli fag say SIX SEVEN! in McDonalds, yesterday. I heard a jeet say "DO NOT REDEEM!" while blocking exit of Dave's Hot Chicken the day before that.

>>218422728For me, it was discussing Star Wars on theforce.net, yakface.com, and rebelscum.com.
>>218420797>>218420839I would like to see examples too. I knew that season five wasn't well received by some fans, as >>218420833 said. But most of the reactions I've seen about season 4 have been positive.
>>218427916If Only we could All be so lucky
I like the university nerd email discussion on Return of the Jedi from 1983 where they all complained about the movie.

>>218423253>I’ve heard people complain about how nobody takes anything seriously these daysIt's the opposite, everybody takes everything deadly serious now and that's why everything is so lame and unfun.Old internet users were retards but one thing most of them understood was that the internet was bullshit and not something to be taken seriously. Zoomers fell for the memes and took them at face value which is why they're so neurotic.
