The INTERNET before the year 2000

DUDES, HELP! My memory is b0rked and I don't remember barely a thing before the year 2000. I need you kind people to help refresh my memory with various internet events, happenings, links, and websites from before the year 2000. I don't have enough monies for a time machine and there is nothing else I can do.

PLEASE IT'S IMPORTANT

kthx.

something awful, penny arcade, 8-bit theatre, maddox....those are some things that come to mind

WEB 1.0MG

It's passed 2000!? Woah. So, what is it? 2003? 2004?

Forgive me, about 24 hours ago I awakened from cryogenic hibernation.

That was before porn was invented. Well, internet porn anyways.

fun facts:
the first form of ASCII art was porn
the first scanned image ever was porn, but only SWF stuff was scanned

I found GG Allin lyrics then I think, and played with some guy's anagram generator.

i thought all clocks rolled over to 1900 all this time i was thinking it was 1906 again.

Navigator 3.0 was the shit

thumbnail porn galleries only existed for photos.

internet before 2000 shouldn't be called internet

Holy shit I remember using Netscape it was like the best ever browser ever.

I remember IGN being free and good and penny-arcade was actually funny.

In no particular order: Shitty browsers, 56 Kbps, GeoCities, CJayC's GameFAQs, Dejanews, AltaVista, no porn vids in HTTP, PornZilla or GodZilla or something like that for TGPs (in the very late 1990s), crappy ads shaped like Windows 2000 windows so you click on them, Casino online, 1~3 MB Hotmail complete with a load of spam every day, mostly "university diplomas" and "baldness solution", no P2P.

>>15 - "no P2P."

What!? that can't be right.

>>16
It's true. If you wanted music and stuff you had to use mIRC.

>>15

You forgot getright and winamp. Everyone use those back in the day.

Naptster was around in 2000

and there were P2P networks before that.  not big ones, though.

Getright and Gozilla used to be free of bloat.  And Winamp.

I had all the leet shareware for Windows 3.1, and swore I'd never switch to something as slow, bloated, and buggy as Windows 95.

>>20
I remember that. I still have the old version fo GetRight so I'm glad I never upgraded. GoZilla went to shit though. And WinCramp 5.xxx was crap from the start. I'm still using 2.71.

>>22
Hay can you help me hack this girls myspace account she is a real bitch and a skank and I asked her out and she said no. I think we should hack it so she cant even log in and use it and make it all animal porn and stuff like that.

Ok guys this the bumping of old threads are becoming real dumb and stuff. I think we are at /lounge/ can not do it so much becos its is real stuopid and dumn. If moar people are being dumnb then i think the site admins will stop annying people getting in here as it are realy dumb and i do'nt like it, ok? So guys you just neede to stop, and look at waht you are doine becauz its not funy and its real dumb and im call the admins to stop stewpid people doing it all the times. It is just dumb. Why you are'nt stoping it now is so anoying and stuped that ill have to contact the site or else it will keepe on hapining and its not good for the comunity on the intrernets becaze its real anoying and dumn and it makes them stewpide and shit, and they wo'nt be happy and its real dumb ok? So my advise is stop spaming shit and making old dumn posts new again at the top of page in \lounge\ or ill be geting you in shit and shit.
Thank you for taking my seriously its a real consirn of mine that the intanrets are making dumber and i are going to stoping it rite now! So pleze cume and halp me and togetha we will fix the intrnet and making it good.

How the fuck did you get rejected by her shes like a fucking horse.

>>23
lmao FAIL! YOU GOT REJECTED BY HER??? HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA

hahha omfg thats freakin funny you got rejected by another fat girl who isnt self conscious and thinks she's the sexiest thing that ever got pushed out of a hole, you sir , are AN EPIC FAIL!!!!

bump and lol you got rejected

>>23 here, and I'm sick of all the rudeness here she is a real bitch and its not fair, I only want people to get back at her by hacking her myspace because I don't know how, and I'm not a fail I can still ask girls out but she said no and its not fair because I am pretty cool so she needs to pay.

>>29 what the fuck are you bitching about? I think she did you a favor by saying no. If you make such a deal about HER, you should become  an hero, you really have nothing to live for.

Bill Clinton

look his name up in the phone book and he'll be more than happy to refresh it for you

ok how about instead of moping about saying you dont know how to hack how about you fucking learn how man get off your fat ass slap that fat hippo you called a girlfreind and get over it and lern2 hax

Yeah? you stupid fuckin cunt, you fairy, maybe I should fuckin hack you myself. I would like too order a raid on that fag >>32 because he causes lots of badness here at 4chan and he is stalking me... every time I try to post he is always there waiting for me. We need to unite anonymous, and take this dickhead down, or else I am just going to have to give up and leave 4chan forever.

>>33
Why do you guys keep impersonating me? Listen, that's not funny, I told you I was going to contact the administrators of this forum. You will all get B& (banned) if you don't stop right now. That's that kind of thing that makes me sick of this forum.

>>33
>>34
This is the harrassment I am talking about. You have no right to call me names even on the internet and I will never tolorate it on my forum. If you dont believe me you can look at the thread where it says "banned members" and see a list of people I have already banned so you know I AM NOT JOKING!!
Dont you dear come in here and start arguing with me and then just expect it to be ok. You are in violation of the site rules, so you will have to be banned. I have sent a email to the admins, and they are really upset and working on fixing this sad situation right now.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAHAHAHA SHES SO UGLI
