What were paranormal/scary Internet communities like in the past, during the pre-creepypasta era? What kind of things did people discuss/post?

You mean, BEFORE creepypastas began to be fanfictions written by and for emo ''teens'' ?
I don't exactly remember some of them.
I mean, I just remember some hackers community doing Demoscenes or corrupted games roms for PCs.

There were less kids and a lot less shitposting, that's for sure.
Before 2006 (beginning of creepypasta era according to wiki) I got my scary stories from flash videos. At least with creepypasta we don't have to worry about screamers.
Really crappy HTML pages, people sharing cool pictures and videos, EVP used to be a pretty big deal. Lots of dicsussion about the nature of ghosts and what they actually are.

This is what they discussed...or should of theorized about...
...
Humans got eternal life technology. They got this a long time ago. They use machines, far away, to flex their muscles. They plan forcing all humans live. They want to be sure they live.

Humans got eternal life technology. This happened thousands of years ago. They use machines to control, flex, their muscles to plan what is happening. They plan because they know if all humans live then the humans who get eternal life technology live. Many humans were dying while the humans who get eternal life were trying to plan how to force all humans live, and many humans ARE dying while the humans ARE trying to plan how to force all humans live.
--------_________---------
Humans accessed eternal life technology...thousands of years earlier than now. They mingled, cooperated, conflicted, and married humans not accessing eternal life technology. They are savage by their reliance of computer controlled muscle flexing technologies of electricity caused at body by computers far of miles. Thus they learn simple methods of forcing eternal life. All humans are forced to live since if all humans live then humans who access eternal life technology are among those humans living. The history/herstory of humans dying is while the savages are forced (flexing caused by machines) to live their best try to force all humans live.

People where actually amateur paranormal researchers in the geocities era of information sharing. There wasn't many spoops because the internet was more for grownups back then who could afford computers instead of douchey teens with tablets and smartphones. Most of the web content is gone but here's one I know is still somewhat active: www.surfingtheapocalypse.com
