Do you miss the internet of 2000-2019 in your country?

>>215924028 (OP)
I didnt have internet access in 2000

they still exist. I frequented on lpsg, lowyat.

Yes, internet was better when was only a white millennial thing, now the net is full of thirdies and bots.

I'd post in rpg maker forums and a semi popular rpg maker game forum during my high school break before college

>>215924118
What year

>>215924028 (OP)
The forums I went to still exist, but I was banned a long time ago

Misc is from 2010-2014 era.

>>215924028 (OP)
yes, facebook ruined internet.

>>215924028 (OP)
>ywn be a 14 year old spending your evenings chatting with your crush on msn and browsing Bebo ever again

everything was better before obama

>>215924028 (OP)
I miss it the most from 2005-2014
People just having fun with the Internet and very minimal culture war BS

>>215924671
this
some old forums still exist, but now its 50% jaded 40 years old

The forums I used to frequent withered and died, or the users turned against each other over culture war shit. I talked to some of those people for almost 20 years but that community is gone now. Pretty depressing.

2008-2011 lol made like 5-10$ for rpg maker xp tilesets and sprites for rpg maker xp back then.

Yes, although only up to 2014.

>everything wasn't constantly trying to harvest data from you

>>215924028 (OP)
no

Of course

>>215924028 (OP)
That's from the misc. That site was the breeding ground for /pol/.

>>215924028 (OP)
no, having degenerates in masses on the internet is way better

2006-2012 was the golden era, internet was not very brown at that point.

It was more fun. But imagine if instead of becoming a teenage /b/tard I went to parties, talked to girls IRL instead of online, and got a fucking life. So much wasted opportunity. I kinda made up for it later. I don't wish for the internet of my youth. I wish for my youth.

>>215924028 (OP)
2007 internet was PEAK

>>215924028 (OP)
even if some early 2000s type forum came into existence today would it even get any visitors? reddit has eaten forums and people don't have any brain space left for things that are not youtube or insta
I visited spacehey.com literally yesterday and it was so dead

>>215930512
No because it would be overrun by chatbots. Generally forums only attracted 2-3% of the visitors. No one really cared about them even then and when people did it became a flame war, humblebragging, virtue signalling, etc.

>>215924028 (OP)
I meet my date using mixt, back then internet was mostly young nigg

Up to pre-2010s was best. The later parts of the 2000s was really pushing it with Youtube and Facebook. Turns out the quality of something is inversely proportional to the amount of normgroids infesting it.

>>215926336
He's the second actually.
I am the first.

i miss the days of forums and old boomers giving valid advice. if you ask a question today on a facebook group you get 500 replies it cant be done, and none of them ever tried it.
on the old forums it was much the same untill one boomer came and said yeah i did so in '78 you just have to xxx the yy and z it then its good to go.

>>215924028 (OP)
>2019
It died when Facebook started replacing stuff around 2014. And yeah, I do miss it.

NO, FUCK YOU AND DIE

And before you fags start implying,
it's a gif, and if you load it and wait long enough, pic related appears.
Or if you open it in Photoshop, GIMP, Preview, EZGif, etc. it can show both frames immediately

This was peak for me
>talking to my 3 best friends over Ventrilo
>playing Wow and other games
>being a member of random niche forums with zero drama, bait or crap, just people discussing things in an orderly and fun manner

It was so chill. I was a member of a photography forum for six years and would walk around my town and take pictures. Then upload those to the forum and people from all over the world would give me advice on how to improve, ask questions about the town and be nice as fuck.

Tried joining a modern photo forum a while ago and basically went like this
>upload one of my pics
>"bro, you fucking suck, why didn't you use these superior settings lol, fuck off"
And I gave up...

You can re-live the old days here: www.cameronsworld.net
For the real feel browse it on a computer. I know that frightens and confuses the zoomers of the board, but they will get over it.

>>215938800
This is partially correct. It died when personal web pages were replaced by social media profiles. At least MySpace let you customize your page, Faceberg is such atrocious garbage.

>>215924028 (OP)
i do not miss dial up internet

>>215949718
I never got to experience that. We had fiber from the moment I started using the family PC in 1996.
We had 10 Mbit/s fiber back then.

>>215924028 (OP)
I miss making friends over MMOs.

>>215924028 (OP)
Sometimes but I got something good out of it
I met my wife on a roleplaying forum 15 years ago

when zoomer joined the internet, the downfall began
