I miss the early 2000s

[Shoeberto]

The early 2000s, when the filth and squalor of the world crowded into dark backalley message boards and IRC chats to discuss their horrible fetishes and that's all we had for social networks.

The early 2000s, when it was easy to support the war on terror because ain't nobody like terror so let's have a war.

The early 2000s, when you could drink Pepsi Blue while playing Metroid Prime on the GameCube, holding your nose high at your poor friends who got the XBox with Halo (as if MS would ever survive in the console market).

The early 2000s, when trout like this popped up regularly and you didn't have to worry about your grandma totally ruining the joke by finding it on Pinterest or Facebook or Twitter or Tumblr or Instagram or Google+ or YouTube.

When not everything had a hashtag.

When the web was still my playground.

I miss my playground.

Metroid Prime on Gamecube...man, that was pretty awesome. I kind of miss the "old" internet as well, but I am happy with the way things turned out!

That and pirating is easier. Not that I ever do such a thing...

It's alright, Cuch; a lot of people like their men sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. I know I do.

This just means that you can pull down your pants in job interviews to show that you have experience due to the grey hair!

I miss 1998-2002 because that was truly the golden age of PC gaming.

[Pike]

honestly I think you can blame tumblr for the hashtag abuse

Twitter started it and then Tumblr took it and ran with it into god knows where territory

#and now #all tumblr posts #are made #like this #and I don't get it #I mean really

[escobert]

I cba to keep up with these newfangled internet fads.

Tumblr is this generation's LiveJournal, except about 1% of all posts are actually original thoughts and the rest is just taking really troutty GIFs people captured from movies and re-blogging them with hideous nested quotes.

But still, at least it's not Facebook.

[escobert]

Facebook at least severs to keep people connected. such as finding childhood friends or family. The rest of these however just seem to be to get more followers and be popular.

We grew up and it smurfing sucks.

oh man ahahaha pepsi blue was the greatest thing ever!

I miss the early 2000's because I would stay up until 4am talking to Beowulf or Dan and James and lord knows who else and be too tired to go to school the next morning so I'd hide in my room until my mom left for work and then repeat the night before.

I also miss chugging mountain dew and cactus cooler on the weekends with my friends and playing San Andreas/watching the good old Adult Swim shows until ungodly hours of the morning and walking back across the street to climb in through my window.
