| Do you remember your original or just old experience on the Internet? Can you remember what resources you sat on and what your old userpics, captions or posts looked like? |
 |
| It was something that phased into my life without me really noticing it, like television. I remember my first years were mostly watching random weird ass YouTube videos (mostly Spongebob edits and stuff) with my siblings and playing Mario flash games and Newgrounds games. This was around the same time I discovered 4chan, too lol. 2008-2012 hit different. |
 |
| Battleon was the first online game I played MSN was all the rage Adolf Hitler was an internet celebrity Everyone and anyone was a wannabe blogger on blogspot.com Youtube did not have ads You had free reign to say whatever you want. N word pass? Wtf is that? I say whatever I want Photobucket Piracy was the only way you could watch anime |
| The dial-up life, chatting with strangers on AIM some of which I shouldn't have been since they were creeps. Making a Geocities fan website of Dragon Ball Z... the cursor was a gif of goku doing a kamehameha. Downloading viruses on Limewire and playing Neopets, the good old days. |
| I didn't really use any forums as such, but I used to often keep checks on Wrestling Information Archive & Solie's Title Histories (both Wrestling websites), and buying stuff from Play.com - which was a little like Amazon. We used Yahoo! as the main browser, as Google wasn't a thing yet though. Before that though I can remember searching up cheats for videogames, and looking at very pixelated pr0n on my mobile phone if I had free WAP data. |

| Playing this Garfield game 🐯 https://igrezadecu.com/garfield/igrice/garfield-igrice.html 🐯 when i was about 3, box computer, windows98, there was a whole Garfield site full of games, another fav was Lasagna From Heaven Damn now you've made me go down memory lane 🤩 My Scene - https://www.numuki.com/game/my-scene-room-makeover/ and Oggy Moshi - https://www.play-games.com/game/26831/oggy-moshi.html some other favs i played not long after |

| I think the first thing I ever did on the internet was playing browser games. Some games like age of war and some random parking sims, that's about It. |
 |
| Playing games on sites like Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney, etc. |
| Mostly just played Flash games and looked at pictures of Batman. |
Take care of yourself |
| Yes, I remember flash games and searching music online. I don’t know how I still remember this but one of the first searches I remember ever making was looking up the song ‘Lonely’ by Akon. I remember being quite proud of myself afterwards xD I was probably about 4, maybe? When I was 5, I was really obsessed with making emails for some reason. Funnily enough, I still use an email account I made back then, in 2008. I still like looking at the old emails I got/sent at that time - it’s kinda like a time capsule. I also remember reading about a lot of stuff on Wikipedia as well. |
 |
| really not sure tbh i think the very first examples i can think of are similar to what a lot of people have already said, i used to watch videos of babies falling over from the late 2000's or early 2010's on youtube and played flash games and it sort of transitioned from then to now |
mmm yummy visuakl kei munch crunch munch chomp   |
| it was 2001 i was 6 at that time, my dad was about to go to the USA to work for a few months there so my dad decided to show me how to write an email. then my dad shows me how to use the internet and how to play counterstrike online. so my first website was yahoo because of me learning email at an early age. i was writing emails to my dad everyday when i was 6 |
| I remember playing these "Diego" and Dora themed games as a kid. Like when I was really young, say around 4-5 I played these games and some toy story game which actually scared the shit out of me. Like you had to flash a light to find something (I think) and at the time I never knew how to play so I would always get jumpsacred by that bald spider thing called babyface. 5 year old me got the biggest spook of his life then lmao. But as I got a bit older I used youtube a lot. Though I mostly watched things using cds on my tv. |
 |
| Oh boy. All those ancient chat rooms, MSN Messenger, IRC, etc. Good old times. |
 |
Yeah, i remember dial up modems, 56k speeds and basic layout http websites on windows xp. those were the days. |
| ah yes, those times i'm searching for donald duck cartoons on youtube and playing web and facebook games |
| Хайде, хайде, хайде, това е първата зона, брато, първа зона, първа зона, добре, добре, добре, това става тук горе, отива тук горе, само спокойно, само спокойно... Ха, отдясно е, навсякъде отдясно отдясно къде е дясното ти о да добре добре добре тихо мълчаливо не успях да се съсредоточа върху това ЕХ ТЪПАК КОГАТО СИ БАВНО БАВНО ... ой е путката на моето момиче прасе куче, аз Чувствам се добре, о, мамо, *шамар*, какво е това госпожице татко- |
| " Watch One piece episode 326 subbed" That was the google search that started this addiction. |

| computer monitor so big and heavy if dropped out of the window it would go through the concrete straight to the earths core the frustrating dial up and relatives randomly pulling cords to make calls and not understanding that it fucked the connection playing solitaire and eating cheese on crackers emojis, nudging people and trying to come up with the most ridiculous screen name using alt codes on MSN playing total annihilation with my feet up on the desk first home printer didn't feel like it was actually designed to do its job and regularly shit the bed and spat out ruined paper - eventually decided enough was enough and threw it on my neighbours skip talking with random dutch people on ventrilo whilst playing diablo online, constant background noise and shit quality mics disc/floppy disk for everything running villagers into the corner of the map on age of empires and rebuilding the destroyed empire to tilt everyone, complete shithousery getting tilted on heroes of might and magic because AI pulls up turn 4 with an entire army and u got one troll who gets taken to the prison showers telling someone on habbo hotel to fuck off without realising it was a helper bot going into random anonymous chat rooms where even back then everyone was trying to fish nudes from one another, always finding random niche chatrooms where you go in and find 15 men discussing the optimum way to wax your chest good times, lots of early gaming memories tbh |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| i mostly remember GameTalk forums from back in the day probably around 2002 |
♡☆♡☆♡ |
| It was a Starcraft forum, it is dead now. then it was this https://forum.wc3.ru/ and this https://legacy-of-kain.ru/ Some time later also this: http://overclockers.ru/ Then this http://www.animecrazy.net/forums/ I used avatars of Illidan, Gordon Freeman, Sasuke, Itachi, Kain, Raziel, High Elf Priest, Wisp, Prince of Persia, Alukard and Assasin from Ragnarok Online. I have a story from a local forum for our local network which I will not name for privacy. On one local network and local forum we had DC++ and ftp servers to exchange files to avoid traffic charges. Once some older people got to our forum started demand some 'respect' to their age or what not. Hirn told them to fuck off and they should have fucked off. However they complained to admins and admins took their side. We quit the forum in protest. Night set up a splinter forum on his PC and we used it for a week or so. Then admins agreed to take our side and segregate adults into separate subsection of the forum. Stuff returned to how it was kind of. I was a mod on Night's forum. |

LordSozin said: Jumping from clan to clan was how I mostly played the game at the time. Exactly, it was a great way to see how people were like in the clan before joining. All great things come to an end I suppose. |
| Prodigy and AOL back in the day. I had an AOL on a 3.5 disk. Spent time playing a maze/RPG game on Prodigy. Struck the belly of an armored warthog with a copper sword and the sword broke. |
| Yep. Looking up a walkthrough to how to beat Majora's Mask. I got stuck and never could figure my way out. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I think so... It was around 2005. I remember my mom showing me how to use it. At that time, I mostly just used it to find pictures of video games, and other things I liked. I didn't get very active until about 2007 though, where I started joining some forums. |
 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Early 2000s; I used dial-up internet to play browser flash games on one of our computers. Funnily, that website also had a chat function, but all the girls I tried talking to stopped responding to my messages once they eventually realized I was still a kid. </3 Still, great times overall! |
| First thing I did when I got internet as a kid was looking up "games for girls" |
 |
| The good ol' days of browsing whatever you found. Mostly watched lego videos on youtube and played roblox when it first came out 2006-2007. Sure has changed a lot Also played alot of Adventure Quest and other fun web games |
| Oldest I can remember is going to game faqs to get guides and cheats for games back in like 1998. |
| ^_^ |
Prinzesschen said: Same. Especially those dress-up games. Those were sick lolFirst thing I did when I got internet as a kid was looking up "games for girls" |
 |
| I think my first experience was using it in a school class. After that, I could use it at home, but it was not enough because of the limited connection time. When I lived alone, I was very happy to be able to use the Internet as much as I wanted when I could use it in the apartment I lived in. |
        |
| When I die and go to the next world where anything is possible, one of the first things I'll do is recover my memory of what was (or were) the 1st internet websites I ever visited, because I don't like not clearly remembering that. I know it may be trivial, but I think it's one of those valuable memories you'd want to have. |
| I was a complete newbie with the internet back then and knew very few websites lol. I do remember using these though: AOL AIM MSN Messenger Minesweeper 3D Pinball Space Cadet Solitaire Limewire Wikipedia MySpace Skype Yahoo Cartoon Network website (for playing Flash games) YouTube (back in the days when Smosh was one of the highest subscribers) Windows XP was also one of the earliest computers I've used. As a 7 year old back then, the only sites I cared about were the ones that had games in them, but I was only allowed to play educational CD games at that time. I thought "well, better than nothing," and so I played Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, JumpStart, Reader Rabbit, Reading Blaster, Math Blaster, ClueFinders, & Super Solvers. Those turned out to be surprisingly quite fun for me. I was still able to play Flash games from the Cartoon Network site and a few other sites, but I wasn't permitted to play for longer than a certain amount of time. Sometime in the early to mid 2000s, I had a lot more freedom to play games, and so I played RuneScape and MapleStory with some friends. As for online forum experience, I never knew how to use forums back then and wasn't interested in them either. My very first forum experience was with Yahoo Answers, but the site got taken down eventually. My post count was around 4,200. Good ol' memory lane. I just love looking back at these memories lol |
| Searching animal names on google and browsing their pictures |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| Definitely, I was searching for anime episodes online and I was rick rolled. Good times. |

| I was 12 when I got internet and I was so excited to get to use youtube. I'd just search for "funny babies" or "funny animals" and then laugh. The only other internet stuff I did was MSN and icq. Chatting with my friends after school was always fun. Like "Hey, you gonna be online later?" - "Sure, after I'm done with my chores!" ... I also remember one particularly confusing time I went to Yu-Gi-Oh online with my friend and we kept losing, and an older opponent we played against asked if we were masochists. Us, being 12, didn't know what that was and asked him, but he said nevermind and to wait until we're a bit older to learn that word. |
If life ain't just a joke Then why are we laughing? If life ain't just a joke Then why am I dead? |
| I can remember it a bit, I remember using AOL 6.0 and a little later Opera web browsers and I would use it to browse random gaming news sites, and when I got into computer programming around that time I would browse and post on DarkBasic, BlitzBasic and Game Maker related forums. Also the SWS2B forum (Simon Wai's Sonic 2 Beta forum) which was focused on researching prototypes of the Sega Mega Drive Sonic games. This was in the early 2000s on a Pentium 3 Windows 98 PC, which I actually still have today and use it for some older/retro games. |
 |
| .... my first steps were....internet games, porn, sexchatting adults and finding information or pictures to school stuff... i can remember some of the places yeah |
