Ten Years Ago, on the Internet

[JKTrix]

So I got an e-mail from Microsoft yesterday.

Was curious if anyone else has had anything they used consistently on the internet for 10 years, or even things that you used 10 years ago that you don't use now. This Hotmail account I still use regularly, but I hang on to it more for nostalgic purposes. Was EoFF around in '99?

I've been using IRC off-and-on for over 10 years, though in the last year I've been using it regularly. I went back to see if I could find some of the old Dragon Ball Z websites I used to frequent (including one I used to run myself...) but a lot of them have disappeared.

10 years is a long time.

I've been using the tubes for about 7 or 8 years now. Not quite 10 yet

I created my Yahoo! email account in either 1999 or 2000, but I can't remember which year. Other than that, most of the stuff I've used for a long time is work related.

I've only been using the net for 4 years.

I've been using IRC for ten years. Started on java at talkcity.com, then just some off and on stuff with some harry potter fangirls until magic hogwarts started up, then I started using the chat there, found out how to really use irc (not on an applet xD) and have lived on it ever since.

I still use the same ISP e-mail handle, but since our isps have changed, the part after the @ isn't the same any more xD

I've been using it for ages. Can't remember how long.

I've only been using the internet outside of school for about seven years

I think the first thing I did was register at some pokemon fansite that I post at maybe once every few months now. It's pretty much dead.

1999 wasn't 10 years ago, you silly goose. It was 1999, and as such, will always feel like yesterday to everyone of all ages. At least, it feels like yesterday to me. >_> I still remember popping my little bag when it turned to 2000.

Anyway, I started using the intarwebz in either 2000 or 2001, so not quite 10 years for me. :x

I was on the internet 10 years ago but I'm not using any of the same stuff. It was mostly roms, Shadowrun stuff, Duke Nukem 3D hacks and Diablo stuff probably.

[Darkswordofchaos]

the internet population was prolly like 1 person then to 10000 people now. Back in '99 it was like "You got the internet? wow im comin to your place, now its like you dont have the internet? get out of the stoneages.

[Vermachtnis]

Ten years ago I was eleven. So I didn't get on it til a few years later. But wow, having something for 10 years is amazing. I get bored with stuff after while. Case and point, I just moved my room around again.

Did you get anything special from being a Hotmail user for ten years besides the e-mail? Also, if you use IRC regularly, can you go in our channel and idle, too?

APPARENTLY 04 was my year of internetness.

January 05, 2004 according to my hotmail. :P

The closest I have to a consistent account for 10 years will be... here, sadly, a year and a half from now.

Sooooooooo weird. EoFF's tenth anniversary is this December D:
