>what was MySpace like?
Like normiebook but with less invasive advertising and shit. Also it was more of a secret club and was almost exclusively teenagers/young adults and you could have limp bizkit autoplay when someone visited your page.
>internet back in the day
Direct connection Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Quake over 56k. Lan parties where everyone would lug their oversized computers over to set up on those plastic fold out tables. Also that dial-up sound https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvr9AMWEU-c and of course this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tajDxBaPBBM

Myspace was like Facebook but with more customization options. I liked it a lot better than FB, myself. Everyone sent each other tacky ass glitter icons like this one and you could embed minigames on your page. Then the news started running stories about pedophiles browsing Myspace to get underage ass, the adults for freaked out and Facebook became popular. Tila Tequila was voted the hottest woman on Myspace and briefly became famous.

Few people reminisce over the Dollz culture of the 90's, maybe because little girls who used the internet back then were rather rare. But there was nothing more fun than designing pixel outfits for these sluts. It was like playing with virtual barbie dolls. On the old chat program ThePalace32, little girls frequently hung out and played housie with the Dollz they designed.

There used to be virtual beauty pageants for Dollz on ThePalace32 back in the 90's. I miss those. That program offered so much versatility. Little boys used Sonic or Megaman avatars and had virtual fights, little girls formed petty cliques and bitched at each other over who had the prettiest doll, edgy teens used goth avatars and called everyone else dumb plebs and the adults used the dolls made by little girls to have virtual cybersex in public chatrooms. Good times, good times.

95' class but I do have nostalgia for internet, I remember mid '00s for MSN, ps2 games, habbo, yahoo answers, MU (rpg ganes) and what I miss more are forums, god damn you could find a forum for anything, just put a username and a bio and you were free to talk to any other teen in the world and make friends, chatrooms were cool too, all that died with the birth of social networks, being forced to put your own name, add only people you "know" in real life and being obligated to always having something to share that amuses your normie relatives ones and having a social life to show
I love 4chan but you cant meet people or make friends here, reedit is crap with that upvote system and chatrooms are now pedophile's nest, all friends I had are from forums that died years ago, my fb died at the second year of making it
I still remember being 12 and asking my classmate what was that site he was browsing and he told me about facebook were you can play games and talk with people, I thought it was lame and boring and I would never make one for me
