I don't miss searching limewire for 128kb music and thinking 480p on youtube is hd

I miss the times when the internet wasn't filled with fucking normies, libtards, left-wings cucks and the political correctness

careful not to cut yourself on that edge user

I miss webpages being a few kb of html and not literal megabytes of cross-site javascript library calls.

It's not like it's any different now than it was 15 years ago. Want to download that application or install a game? Better get ready to wait 7 hours. Back then it was small but so was bandwidth. Now everything is 115GB so it didnt really fucking improve at all.

oh you mean white culture?
Yeah, it's gone bro.
It's now a monetized world. Catering to low hanging fruit is how to win big today.

>I miss how sites weren't littered with ads
I guess you forgot about popup ads.

this
shut up soikuk, you are failing in every aspect of your life because you never take responsibility of your action, and the marxist bullshit you believe is the perfect philosophy for you, because, basically removes all the possible responsibility from your otherwise stupid actions.

480p isnt that bad

I'm not a lefty and I hate marxists tho

A wonderful time indeed!

but my internet isn't third world

The earth is free even now for great souls. There are yet many empty seats for the lonesome and the twosome, wafted by the aroma of still seas. A free life is even now free for great souls.

I miss discovering SNES games on some obscure emulation websites. Now Nintendo is scare-suing them all.

it's not but that's only because we haven't experienced 1080 yet. nowadays 720 feels shitty in comparison. it was a simpler time

Social media was a mistake.

>hates normalfags
>calls them normies
HMMM

nice, found an old LOTR fan-forum that's still kicking, some guy selling weird shaped bottles and Jow Forums humour website

Smartphones were a mistake.

i said its NOT right now. 720p is fine too. get over yourself.

ew no 720 is bad get your eyes checked

op is a normie idiot

I remember trying to watch the whole DBZ series through embedded links from MEGAVIDEO on old anime streaming sites.
I remember ChatAndGo chat boxes on the side of those anime websites and we'd actually talk about anime.
I remember downloading anime from Google Video so I can upload them to my mp4 player.

So all the things you hold sacred are dead?

Great.

fuck off you disgusting zoomer

boy a macbook gramps, get with the times

>call the left wing normies while bitching about degeneracy

Which is why im done with dealing Jow Forums stuff. I just come here for /nostalgiatech/ since i'm out of this industry.

>Fakku used to be free
fuck user, why'd you have to remind me?
Tsumino just dropped all fakku doujins as well

Jow Forums is the only place left where i can call someone a NIGGER without getting banned

i miss the banter and freedom

MMORPGs became bad when they dropped the RPG.

i for one do not miss wow rp servers

I miss the smaller community but not the slower and worse hardware.

And now they’ve dropped the MMO part too

The earth hasn't been free for some time, and I'm afraid the internet is no different.

This thread is making me get feels
I dont know if living through the golden age was a blessing or a curse
Now lefty sjw cucks and corporations are destroying everything that made the internet great, it legit gives me depression thinking about it

>lefty sjw cucks and corporations
agreed but they did so alongside right wing knuckle dragging sister fucking shit kickers like yourself

brainless, extremist and uneducated retards are what ruined the internet

i didnt even give a shit about politics until recently, i voted yes for gay marriage here in australia and was genuinely happy for them when it passed
I had i known then what i know now no fucking way would they have got the ok from me, i tried to help those faggots out and this is how they repay me? Lbqtgfdercx what ever fucking letters are on it at this point screaching about everything now and in some cases bullying people into unemployment because their fictional characters wernt gay enough?
Yeah nah i take this personally because i voted to give them what they wanted and now they do this?
I didnt care until the left forced people to pick a side

this isn't your blog faggot, nobody cares

All your base are belong to Facebook. But not all is lost, OP. I think we are near peak centralization of the Internet. It's gonna get weird again, soon. It won't last, though, so don't miss it.

Yet.

...

Are you sure you actually miss the wild west days of the internet or do you actually just miss all the free time you used to have? The realization that you have to go to sleep by a certain time so you can get up and go to work is what really ruins everything for me.

You don't know shit about the old internet if you weren't on it before 2000. I still have the login for my account on an ancient Counter-Strike forum. Sadly it died of political AIDS the last few years.

for me it's a combination of both.
obviously i miss the "carefree" days of just playing ROTT over null modem
but also because there will never be things like a couple kids in their basement getting a shit ton of venture capitalist funding for their ISP then selling out to some phone company who sells out to a bigger one. dot com bubble was really fun opportunity.

Even in 2009 reddit barely existed at all (and didn't become perceived as shameless OC stealing wannabe faggots until maybe 2011-12), Facebook and Twitter were still new things, discord didn't exist, smartphones were new. Most key is that the site was compared to today, as close to Jow Forums (rather /news/) free as it ever was and nobody took you to seriously as probably some proselytizing faggot about to start preaching Jow Forums shit unsolicited at first mention of the word bigger, and so on.
Things change and a tidal wave of seriously garbage users swamped the site. It's easy to hide away on a spin-off and not face the music but out here in the blizzard this is daily life, year round. In these contexts I don't blame mods for going Rambo on /a/, because as shown on several other boards already (namely /v/ and /tv/) if they just assume things will be the same as always and everything will be fine, no, it doesn't fucking work like that and you may as well give up those boards as lost (or soulless as the new /v/-ism goes). The only way mods have to for-sure teach newfags is by force, especially when they just mock the anyone telling them off for being fags. They don't have shame because if they're new and only know big boards for (you) dopamine hits from freestyle shitposting, they aren't used to maybe needing to think twice before posting.

"""whites""" in America gave up their respective cultures for McDonalds, Walmart, and cable sit"coms" decades and decades ago, don't be deluded, polnigger.

I had a website that was hosted on Network Solutions for many years and then on Google Drive for a few years before I lost the rights to the domain name and Google Drive stopped supporting web hosting.

It would be nice to have a website again, but I don't even know what I would put on it.

Its not ours anymore

(not him) My eyesight is perfect, I watch a lot of stuff at 480p and it's enough for most.
Anime especially, but many tv series are enjoyable too.
I don't need to see every small wrinkle on the face to just watch two people talking.

I just miss the time when using your real name was a widely considered a stupid idea.

>2007
That would be the year the majority of anime fansubbers switched from hardsubbed Xvid .avis to softsubbed h264 .mkvs. Shortly before that some clever nips had cracked DTV encryption and began saving transport streams directly.
This improved picture quality by a mile, reduced the delay between anime airing and fansub availability, and generally lowered bars and increased the number of shows getting subbed.
And thus began an era of plenty.

I don't think it went to shit that particular year. It just laid the groundwork for it.

What ever happened to my basic right to not be bothered by people bitching and moaning about bullshit constantly?

I miss running into actual human girls on mmos/chatrooms/forums and talking to them, finding out they had webcams and cybering together all night.

Now I imagine having a daughter, and her sharing a bathroom with some disgusting mentally ill freak with five o clock shadow because “muh equal rights”, and I know my dad was right. Gas the fags.
