Is the quality of the grabs getting worse every year? Can barely read most of it. Was it like this on any other boards at the time?

We were a smaller and more close-knit community on CE in particular, but other than that it was mostly the same.

So computers existed back then.

I was on my computer in my dorm room at college. I didn't have class until the early afternoon that day. It was Japanese and my teacher was a Japanese national and had no freakin' idea how to politely address it, not being an American, poor lady.

I remember WoT being created after 9/11, but I don't remember if the Politics board existed before or after that.

People had to sit in an office and use a computer to post on CE back then. I remember I would dedicate like 2 hours after school to just browsing CE before I did homework lol

I think the Politics board was created during one of the larger board expansions. Like 2007 or something? I could be off but I'm pretty sure politics board wasn't a thing back then. That's why WoT was created and people flocked to it.

True I forgot about that it's been so long. I was in 7th grade at the time and my middle school computers blocked pretty much all sites lol.

I remember this day like it happened yesterday. School ended early, me and a friend went straight to his house and got on Newgrounds, and saw all the 9/11 flash movies people put up. Than we went to 7-11, watched cartoon, I went home around 5-6pm, and did my homework lol.

IIRC he was just an early 00s edgelord who eventually grew out of that.
