discussion Does this remind anyone else of the old internet?

.....and had a power supply that overheated, and smelled horrid as the transformer windings melted

Ahh just the idea of that smell brings back some memories...

Just thought about it

I can't remember the last time I felt part of a community all trying to achieve a goal like this. As crazy as it is, I haven't been on a forum where everyone is talking positively in a long while. Most of my online interaction now sadly consists of conflict on Reddit. When and what online community was the last that you felt like this?

Think the last time I actively tried to be apart of a community was about the late 2000's but fell out of it. Most online interaction for the most part for me has been toxic and I don't feel the need to expend energy.

You're probably right, but I'm, enjoying this moment for what it is.

I still remember the first time I received the title when participating in some old forums. People are more easy-going.

If you mean a long and annoying grind few people enjoy, but everyone keeps going for the greater good, I'm reminded of World of Warcraft, when whole servers had to cooperate to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. What a long slog that was

 

[zark]

Dont forget to yell at clouds, too.

I used to be more in the habit of being active on forums, but the super corporate data harvesting shit basically killed my joy for that. Facebook is kind of the dividing line of an age.

I remember using dialup to play MUDs back around 95. I'm ancient haha.

I load game on to a trs80 with a cassette tape.

 

[SandSorter]

No, I don't remember this kind of bullshit existing in the old net.

Atleast the SETI at home program was passive, this requires interaction and lots of it.

 

[User_89939]

You mean the old internet where I used to actually talk to people? Yeah, yeah it does!

 

[stockfish]

yea, feeling nostalgic

Honestly I've had generally positive experiences on Reddit, certainly more so than on Facebook which just got so much worse post-2016. IMO the internet as a whole has become a less "fun" place to be on with how much it's consolidated and become primarily a place to do business or be advertised to...

The old Internet as in WOW I'm talking to someone in a different country!!!
