Wow this is awful
they could have done it even easier by just emulating an actual 3.0 machine than making it a chore to use

Do you guys remember cartoon fansites? You know the ed edd eddy zone, dorkster, planet namek, Temple of trunks (which hasn't been updated since 2008), TV tome before CNET killed it and became tv.com in 2005, los3eds, jumpedtheshark.com?

Thankfully we now have Yahoo! Search engine.

Geocities and angelfire. Clipart and forever loading gif pages.

>>719296087

What were you guys doing on the Internet in 2002?

I was 6 in 2002. So I only went on nick.com and cartoon network.com. I missed out on a lot great websites. I know there wasn't much on the Internet in 2002 but I still feel like I missed a lot.

>>719297120
I was twice as old as you, 13
IRC, Yahoo Games chat rooms, and AIM chat rooms, of course.

I did do some battle.net Starcraft Brood War, but our internet was laggy so not much.

>>719296411
It says it's a illegal and it makes me scared :'((((

I remember the internet before 1993.

BBS for the fucking win, mates! L.O.R.D is the shit! Usurper fags can suck a dick!

>>719298181
sadly it was juegosjuegos.com, the puzzle game would appear on the first page of adult gmaes but they delted that section at some point around 2008 or 2009 and so the game.

Did you guys use limewire and Kazaa and e donkey 2000 and bearshare and Morpheus?

>>719298882
Kazaa at first. Morpheus after. Brother used edonkey and bearshare a few times. But Kazaa++ and Morpheus were the go to programs.

Now, do you remember the joys of trying to download 40MB and it taking 5 hours?
Oh, the nostalgia!

Yahoo Briefcases

>>719298975

I was a limewire thug

>>719298975
Yeah Kazaa was great. I also used Scour, probably earlier.

Honestly, the internet before 4chan was such a wonderful place. Now with 4chan, the internet has an anus.

Im starting a new thread for the wayback machine.

>>We all know the internet was ungodly back in the day.

>>719293489
Yes.
I got suspended from school in 2001 because of the internet.
Told some kids about a site where there was a fake picture of Sabrina The Teenage Witch fingering herself... so they printed it off and put it around school and blamed me for it.

The internet for me before 2003 was MSN messenger, and looking at nude pictures of WWF female wrestlers.

I used to play a game on PC that had win 98 on it. You basically had to just cirlcle things, which made those things disappear. It kinda had that space-theme to it.

Sorry for the shitty depiction, best I can do right now.
