What was the old Internet like?

there was a higher bar of entry with regards to computer skills to be able to get online, so the average IQ was much higher.

smartphones created a situation 1 million x worse than the eternal september

You're on it, but no phone posters.

Glorious and comfy.
Stile project, steak and cheese, something awful, slit finger, and pre-kiked newgrounds.

Turbonerd dudebro central. In a good way.

no social media, text based web pages, mouse follows, frames

Asking Jeeves for pics of UFOs and Anna Kournikova

MOM PUT THE PHONE DOWN

msn messenger, yahoo chat...at age 12-14 I used to chat on msn a lot, and I met a future girlfriend on there

also, search engines were so shit that you were better off guessing the names of websites you might be interested in....

building websites with GeoCities

buying domain names for pennies

pedo's in chat rooms

later on...early ebay was actually awesome, before the scams, the bidding bots, the crazy fees etc

Better. No niggers. No women.

Waiting for stuff to load like a really long time.

Amazing, true nerd culture, AOL instant messaging chats with chris hansen were based

There were no politics being shoved in your face. You had to go looking for it.
Internet, serious business.

>What was the old Internet like?

it was white it was the real internet there is no internet today only shitskins and gooks posting bbc threads not even white nationlist movements are white the jews destroyed it completely only a complete moron would spend all his time online thinking he is going to "redpill" anything

>Yahoo Chat was the precursor to all of the degeneracy you see now

I used to get laid all the fucking time because of the Yahoo Chat state rooms. I could go from A/S/L? to inside vagina in mere hours at my peak. And there were some seriously hot bitches on there.

Took 5 minutes to jerk off because that was the typical download time of a picture.
You were satisfied with softcore playboy pics
No way in hell you were searching for anything else because it took too long.

You downloaded rageagainstthemachine.exe

Go back to 9gag nigger

>I wonder how long the internet was nigger free.

The Internet peaked in 1999.

Pretty cool.....I once ran a PW cracker on dial up and my mom got like a 1000$ bill cuz I slept over night while it ran and you apparently got charged after making 300 calls in a month. Good times.

You threw a blanket over your cigarette smoke beige non-tower to mask the reeereeereee-eeeEEEeeeEEEeee-kshshshsh modem noises late at night so your parents wouldn’t catch you trying to get Mr. T to eat your balls on IRC.

Was your intention to prove his point?

Those feels when you start fapping to the gif that took you 3 minutes to download and you forgot to turn off call waiting

In a way Zig Forums.org has still been relatively retro, which makes it so good. The old internet was filled with geocities websites and very poorly laid out. A good example that is still online is the space jam website.

spacejam . com

no ads no censors only people with brains because it was hard to get online. i'm talking 70's and 80's. mid 90's was starting to go to shit. the early days were like ham radio/cb. now the government, the corporations, all the shitmongers are online and it's ruined despite fancy things like graphics, videos, sound. i'd get rid of all of it to have freedom again. it's so sick and evil what corporations and powermad fucks do to everything. reminder that everything online is not real so making anything online illegal is making thoughts illegal. nothing online exists

use the "futaba" style for maximum retro

Everyone on it was smart, or at least above average.

You really can't imagine this today, where the availability of all of humanity's knowledge for the past 2000 years has, in fact, made people more stupid.

I miss the old internet and desperately wish for one where you have to be X iq to access resources

It was cool, Internet 1.0 sites are famous for super clean crisp action with no faketanic anything.
Now Combine that with the level of JooM of 2020 and you're set. The September 11 and the last 20 years amount to not a thing.

This. Faceberg was the killing blow. Even social media trash like myspace at least had customizability, and lots of pre-copyclaimed media could be shared, then kikebook made everything sterilized, standardized, minimalist and boring. Then it became skynet.

As time passes degeneracy spreads, and corruption -- like loss of virginity -- cannot be undone. Without a total reset our technology will continue to intensify the problems and fill man with resentment, bitterness, disgust, and render everyone demoralized.

It was actually fun.

It was a glorious time, the wild west some might say.

Go to IRC.

It was free as in freedom and free speech

I miss the time everything went and there were no SJWs.
I'm making my own site, only allowed stuff is pre 2004 tech.

depends a lot on what you mean by "old internet", both the 90's and the early 10's can be considered "the old internet" nowadays

No phone posting niggers and every few weeks you would get a new beer coaster in the mail from AOL.

Anyone mad about posting anime is a newfag. For YEARS J-list was the ONLY advertiser on Zig Forums. You are too new to know that though.

I was a real shithead on the internet when I was 12. You could do things that would get you arrested now with near total impunity. Network security wasn't really a thing back then. There would be loads of networks like schools, libraries, and companies with default admin passwords. All you had to do was set up a script to port scan a range of IPs and try default logins then you'd have admin access to loads of networks. And you could do whatever you wanted with them like have you own botnet, turn them into ftps, or use them for irc or whatever.

There was a sense of unbridled freedom.

kek'd and checked

Fucking this.
Every game imaginable was on flash
Plus newgrounds literally had an adult tab right in the home page...

All of that bullshit followed by the deadest silence you can imagine

there are no non cesspool IRCs anymore. I was on IRC in 1994 i have no desire to go back

>GET OFF THE PHONE

stickdeath.com was fantastic

AOL banned me from their isp for lewd behaviour in their chatrooms and sent all of the chat logs to my old man.
Shit was rough.

Such was life...

But that would've made everyone a phone poster

well there was a really really big dog
and the dog would tell us what was on the internet
and we couldn't look because the internet was only visible for dogs
and the dog would bark in morse code over the course of several hours which we translated into binary and then we all killed ourselves because it was stupid

It was terrible and one needed to wait for everything. Until broadband (I got cable internet in 2000 and felt like a god).

Although, only NEETS were on the Internet back then. Sorta. The jokes and memes were fewer, but way more killer. You still needed to wait though. If your mom didn’t want the phone tied up, you basically couldn’t get on the net until 9 or whenever she went to bed and stopped giving a shit.

You still needed to fucking wait. In fact, work on your motherfucking patience and fap to a 75% loaded porn pic because internet kicked out randomly. You gotta wait, but it’s ok because normal life outside the internet is still normal and hasn’t died yet. And there are certainly no fucking girls on the internet.

it was making noises

Ahhh, I’ve not been there in ages but it always used to be interesting...

Slow

Slow as all hell. Even the online gaming was shit. Still fun to play though. Lots of floppy disks too.

No normies
No boomers
The only time anything got censored is when you upset the only girl on the board and the mod who had a crush on her banned you.

Isnt that froma. speaker. Tje modem noise just lets you knwo whats happening. To communication ot was doing. The human dodnt have to hear it and it wasnt being made mechanically. It was a speaker and speakers should be able to be turned off. I guess they used to have speakers you couldnt turn off in the tower?

indeed user.. indeed.

I used to play multiplayer Doom matches with IRCers over dial-up. My kbm game was not on point at the time so I used to plug in a controller for it, and I had to map all of the keys onto the buttons manually.

Don't forget the fact that shit tons of people on the internet anymore don't understand sarcasm or irony and are as about as creative as a lukewarm bowl of cereal. I just want the internet to be fun again but its controlled by jews that hate everything good in this world

Basically you could say whatever you wanted without getting gang stalked by a bunch of blue checkmark faggots.

Had to do that for Battlefield: Vietnam too.
