Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?
I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.
I’ve seen those before!
I’m from Brazil, so we didn’t have anything back then… commercial providers only started in 1996, so even if you wanted to use the internet you couldn’t. Only universities had very limited access, and later some companies with ties to the government.
