Can you still sign up for MySpace?
The other chatrooms I went too was before hotmail.com
I can't remember the name.
there is your old shit there
What was the website called before MSN.com took over?
netscape navigator i thought
...I still sometimes use one of the usernames I made up for neopets...
no wait
I think the biggest contrast is that the internet used to be exciting
Now it is only terrifying
The internet is dull now.
Along pretty much every conceivable axis
i cant remember, i didnt look at anything but porn back in those days on the net
I mean back then, we could practically do whatever we what.
porn and diablo2
There was nothing restricted to us.
lol
that was my need for the internet
But, IRC is surprisingly active still.
ya it is
For better or for worse
I guess they could have turned IRC into something like Discord.
At the time... we had access to all of the webs.
Period.
There was no dark web or deep web.
Because they were the web.
im a distortion
BRB
Almost of all of it was deep web.
back then, the dark web, was just stuff you didnt know the link for
No, the dark/deep web have always existed
Most of the fun places weren't accessible by crawlers.
becuase no one realized someone had put up the page lol
having to get the webcrawler to crawl your site
It qualifies as deep web to me if it's not public and not just indexed by search engine, you actually have to find it yourself.
I think usually to be deep web it also has to be generally inaccessible
i do remember being like 13 and the first time like 5 of us got together and one kids dad had AOL, we snuck into the AOL chatrooms late at night to just talk shit
Also, I used Altavista then.
