Ten Years Ago, on the Internet

[Caraliz]

I've been on the internet since I was about 10 or so. I used to only look up Sailormoon stuff though. Then I discovered yahoo! and started going into yahoo chat in like 2000.

[Shlup]

I've used EoFF for almost ten years. *shrug*

[Tavrobel]

Twelve years for me; mostly playing Age of Empires online. Then I found Starcraft and Final Fantasy websites. Look how well that went.

I wasn't even on the internet 10 years ago. Holy I'm still a n00b.

[Renmiri]

I got hotmail in 98 or 99 but my password was too easy to guess... A jerk got it from me

I have had my yahoo account for almost as long though.

[Peegee]

I'm turning 30. Which means I've been on the intertubes for about 14 years now.

10 years ago was nothing. You should've seen the intertubes 14 years ago.

[Golden Warrior]

Hmmm 10 years ago...I remember the good old days of the browser wars of IE vs Netscape.

[Rantz]

10 years ago I was 11, pretending I was 14 in order to flirt with teenage girls in Java chatrooms.

[Yar]

I remember doing stupid kid stuff on the Internet like playing pong on cartoonnetwork.com

10 years ago I was 21 and scriptng IRC, chatting on ICQ, serching for porn on AltaVista & slowly downloading porn on dialup. I was wondering at the marvels of Win98 & did not have long to wait to start my illegal music collection on Napster. It was a more innocent age.

I remember using napster my brother showed my family to it and he'd be like 'yeah I can get songs in about twenty minutes' but every time I tried it would take 40-60 minutes. My dad asked why this was, and frustrated, I said it must be that he had a faster internet. When dad said 'no, he's got dialup too', I resorted to the noob-honored 'well his computer must be faster then!'

oh, how little I knew.

(I realized, years later, that all that extra information was telling me what songs to get. I can visualize now the download speed and ping charts, not to mention the green, yellow, red buttons. If only I knew then what I know now!)
