>>123886802007 was the first year I became fully engrossed in the internet. I switched schools in 2006 and stopped hanging out with a lot of friends. 2008 was the year I really kicked off though. Got into making private servers and the like.
Man I miss pre-2010 internet. Hell, I miss 2015 era internet. Hanging out with my buddy talking about the latest Leafy drama. It wasn't perfect, but man, looking back, it feels like the last bastions of the old internet were dying off. We'd complain about dumb arguments like mansplaining and other nonsense. Stuff that was really just rage bait. Sure it seemed bad then, but it's only gotten worse since.
