What old internet trends do you miss?

[PointOfNoReturnPoint]

I miss old stick figure videos. While paper thin in animation they still seemed to have alot of substance.

 

[WTBOnlineFather]

Ah yeah stick figures. I remember spending hours watching Xiaoxiao and thinking it's the coolest shit ever. Kids in the previous generations hand kung fu action movies but I had stick figure flash animations.

I miss shitty browser games made by the likes of Gameforge and the insane communities that would form around them in the late 2000s. Interacting with those people was truly something. Even the games were kinda charming, although they would typically have some crazy abusable PvP strats that made it so a clueless kid like me had no chance.

YouTube Poop era, neta (rare Japanese memes), oekaki drawings on Java applets, old times where either Paint Tool Sai or Photoshop was popular amongst illustrators, old YT, crispy low-quality 240~144p videos posted from 2006~2010, prime Niconico Douga era of memes spawn, old Inmu and Gachimuchi memes on Niconico, Futaba Channel during its youth, 4cuck when it used to be very decent, Flash games and animation, in my opinion.

When "memes" were known as "image macros" and people would actually put in effort to make clever edits, like this:

Forum signatures filled with oversized anime girl pictures, Korn lyrics, and AIM screen names.

Ironically enough, when forums had no likes/kudos and the only stats you could flex were post count and registration date. I remember one of my favorite ones "upgrading" engines and adding kudos, the post quality fucking plummeted overnight with newbies trying their hardest to spam le funni imajes hoping enough people would click the green arrow, because not only did the new engine add a fucking ranking based on the amount of kudos users received overall, there was also a daily top 3 for most kudos earned.

I'm more of a "20 userbars including cola fan, pepsi fan, metal fan, rpg fan, naruto fan" person.

The harmless real-life silly stuff like planking.

 

[Blamo2000]

I really miss early YouTube poops and Gmod videos. It was a more innocent age.

No, not really. 

ETA: The Atheism Plus/Freethought Blogs shitstorm. That was pure comedy gold!

 

[Biggie Smalls' Taint]

I miss when people on the Internet weren't such huge faggots.

I miss watching anime on Youtube in chopped up 10 minute segments. Forums were great, miss those. Flash games (even though those morphed into mobile games)

A weird one: I kinda miss Atheists VS Christian debates. It was the politisperging of the time. Every forum had users that belonged to each side and would regularly get into scraps. It's probably my nostalgia talking, but it was more interesting than the current arguments we get from left/right wingers. There was a lot of pro Bush/Iraq war VS Anti-Bush/Iraq War sperging. That wasn't too fun

Text guides for video games. Video guides are okay, but sometimes you just want to read through the information at your own pace without some soy voice narrating it or without shitty editing/music.

Take me back to 2000. Y2K really was the end of times. Also fucking normalfags get the fuck off my Internet.

I miss calling people niggers and faggots everywhere. Banned quick as fuck these days.

I'm making this a poster or something, this just completely encapsulates KiwiFarms in one post.

This honestly is the biggest deal. As long as people stay in their own septic tank of shit that they deal with online fine, but it spreads over into other places it just doesn't belong in. Let's talk about something random like James bond. LETS MAKE JAMES BOND A BIPOC/LGBT/BBQ/WTF/TCPIP whatever the fuck you have nowadays. It's just not relevant outside of your own Lil bullshit world.

I miss the days when internet people had interests besides weird sexual fetishes.

 

[PipTheAlchemist]

I miss the trend of people not revealing their full names and other irl information on the internet. Back when the internet and the real world were two separate places.

Up until social media, it was losers/weirdos/and just general oddities that the internet harbored, now everyone has to be a celebrity.
