When did internet start to spread in your country and people

I got my first PC in 1998, but only got internet until 2001, 56kbps and it was free at the time

>>68540003
I am too young to know that desu with you senpai.

i miss the old internet so much
we should recreate it desu

>>68540040
I got my first PC in 1996. My first PC game was Primal Rage or Shadowcaster(can't remember).

I played CS in highscool every fucking day.

>>68540060
Idd, the communities were smaller but more active and more fun.

>>68540153
It's a shame social media, Reddit, and even 4chan I guess, have swallowed up the market for small forums
Posting in some shitty habbo hotel forum used to be the best days of my life

>>68540003
I was born and my dad already had pc

>>68540202
I remember a Polish CS forum, was great, a lof of laughs, stories from LANs etc.

>>68540306
Love shit like that, did it let you upload Avatars and Signatures too? That was my favourite, designing them got me my job today
I feel for people who didn't get to witness the internet in all it's glory 2005-2009, it was magical

>>68540760
You are welome to feel with me.

>>68540778
It's sad. Internet around 1998-2006/2007 was great. Than all the FB, YT, reddits etc. killed it.
And it was so cosy, so fucking cosy.

I remember going to mypetskelleton back in the 1999 just to hear the music and see the animations.

>>68540833
>You are welome to feel with me.
I too played Primal Rage. Game was great.

I remember I bought it at CompUSA, which doesn't exist anymore.

>>68540833
Oh dude
Here internet was pretty nice even till like 2010. Later it became widely available so it killed the comfyness

>>68540816
meristation was the best shit ever . I miss those fucking days

>mfw you won't play Warcraft 2 or Albion again for the first time
It's a awful feeling. I bought my games not knowing what is it.

And the boxes, oh man, I still got some of them. They were awsome, with huge booklets and guides inside, full of art you now have to pay for.

>>68540867
Ah, well it's nice you got to experience it.

>>68540830
How do you know? Never interchanged pics?
>>68540833
Feels nice to share this feel, seems like im the only one of my friends that used to have a "gf" folder on highschool, it made me feel not so bad when got rejectd by an irl qt

>>68540934
I use to spend hours reading the books that came with Diablo and Diablo 2.

Same. Although the Warcraft 2, Arcanum or Incubation booklet took more of my time. I used to take them to the loo and read them while taking a dump because it felt so cosy.

>>68540936
I had a internet gf stalk me, call me in the night and make threats(death, arson etc.) because I didn't want to meet her irl.

She stopped after some time and than started again after like 3 years but I told her to fuck off.

>>68540977

>>68541157
No but she was 5 year older than me and psycho. I was like a 15 year old kid, trying to ge fap material and she was 20 years old and crazy.

>>68541158

Internet gf from back then were so much more innocent.
It was more of a romance than "show your tits and puss bitch" thing.
Those girls were more open to a meeting and a date than showing you her tits asap.

Falling in love was so much easier.

>>68540724
yes i am an oldfag
i was a teen back then

Got my first PC in 2001.
It had Quake 3, GTA2, Sims, and Superbike 2000 preinstalled. Played the crap out of all of them.

Then I got my hands on Diablo 2 and Oni, and it was just orgasming. I'll never be able to enjoy games that much anymore :(

>>68541547
Same. 1985 here.

the internet became popular with the launch of windows 95. most people used 56k modem or 64/128k ISDN network (128k~2M CATV also existed, but coverage was pretty narrow) until 1.5M DSL service started in the late 90's. 100M FTTH began to spread in the early to mid 00's and gigabit ones in the late 00's.

>>68540003
>When did internet start to spread in your country and people started to have internet connections other than modem(56kbps) ones?
mid nineties most everyone i knew already had a 33.6kbps modem connection up and running. it was an exciting time when the 56kbps modem came out.

>>68540638
i had tripod. it was very polite to offer a full 10MB of free storage

>>68543790

Yep. I remember making my own. One day I searched on Google and found a "Splatter fan" which surprised me. I like the actual splatter patterns in images and used it. A little later I found that it's a horror sub-genre. Hehe, I was so stupid.
