Mantis Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) ^ Don't forget WinMX. Cheatplanet was one of the earliest sites I remember going on when we got internet in 2000. Edited October 9, 2016 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 All this talk of 'questionable' music downloads has made me dig out my old black and white screened iPod. Its full of music that I downloaded from Limewire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) first experience of the net was at high school in the late 90s, we had an IT room where you had to pre book time to use a computer, porn was filtered so you couldn't access it but occasionally word would spread that you could get onto certain sites so we'd book a computer then wait 20 minutes to for a grainy picture of a fanny download. when we first got a computer at home it was about mid 2000, we had aol and downloaded a file share thing, mayby it was napster but I distinctly remember finding a porn film to download, "milf hunter - lita chase", it was 124mb and took a whole day to download, i left the computer on overnight and got up early the next day to hide from the file and switch the computer off. good times.

AVFC_Hitz Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 My step dad was a bit of a computer wizz, he set me up in my room with a self build computer and a 128k ISDN line. This would be around 1999. I used to be able to download a song in about 10 minutes! Of course I was using MSN messenger and I used to be addicted to playing Medal of Honour online. I always used to visit this one French filth site called salopin.fr which, as a 12 year old, was amazing. Some filthy stuff there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 intlcup (international coverup, an american punx forum) and .hack (the official EU dothack Atari page) were where I first learnt the foruming game, both now long defunct. I also used a bunch of FF forums, notably Advent Children and Fool's Gold, which was basically like taking part in an on going soap opera, such was the 'drama'. Anyone ever 'play' Gaia online? Jeez. I haven't even so much as thought about that for years. I'll have to try to log in to my old account, some of the junk on there might be worth something to someone (Gaia online was basically a massive anime centric forum, where you could 'dress' your avatar. Every month (eventually) they'd sell these envelopes that would contain exclusive items for your av. Once the month was passed, you could never get them again. Some of the early ones became very desirable, and they should still be sitting in my account, I guess...) After Limewire I used the far superior Soulseek, some real musical lessons learnt thanks to that GameFAQs is probably the website I've used for the longest period of time, I wouldn't be surprised if I first used it in '99 First website I ever visited was at school, in I would estimate 1998 - it was the Simpsons website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 For me it was back in 95 when I bought my first computer a 486 dx with windows 95. I bought a modem and i think my first isp was claranet and I had to share the line with the phone as it was dialup 48k connection speed and it wasn't cheap to use. I think you paid a monthly charge plus your time online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yahoogroups before they were yahoogroups, egroups or something but its long forgotten. The first site that took up a lot of my time was a comedy site and forum called fade to black. Music? Well original napster and soulseek. Used to love that. Of course I had forays in to homepages with geocities in 95 and that persisted with varying results and varying hosting methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
