Yes and no. There's pros and cons. Like, hell, I miss a lot about old shitty 90's computers but I wouldn't want to snap my fingers and put myself back in that era either

I'm very glad I lived through those days but no way in hell would I want things to go back to that.

Anyone relating to this idea really needs to play Hypnospace Outlaw then. It nails down that period of the internet sooooo well.

I think my enjoyment of that time was more tied down to people being able to say whatever they wanted without everyone getting offended. Chat rooms and message boards were crazy back then

i do miss the communities i posted on in the early to mid 2000s. There was one in particular on an ezboard and later a proboard that really had an influence on me and I think about the people there every now and then. The proboard is still there but it hasn't been posted on since 2008, and I don't think there's any way to really connect with them. Even if I could, it would probably be weird to do so.

It's funny that board 8 is almost as old as that place but somehow the people are mostly still here

The best part was how decidedly distinct online and offline culture were from one another. Corporate/political astroturfing tactics weren't nearly as prolific, people weren't starting IRL fights over fucking Facebook posts, etc.

It was better this way; the Internet and "real life" simply do not mix.
