childhood online computer games? (club penguin, webkinz, etc)

I used to just play a lot of flash games on newgrounds, miniclip and gamefudge. I think the first online game i got really into was secret builders and toontown back in 2008/2009, then it was roblox, moshi monsters, adventure quest, etc. Always would play with my sisters

Looking through these made me remember so many games I used to play!! Bearville was another really good one!
 
I used to play Webkinz and Club Penguin a lot when I was younger. I probably had over a 100 Webkinz (Plush and ones from the virtual store) >.<

I had 3 good friends on Webkinz, but they stopped playing and since I was younger, I didn't have any other way to contact them, so just good memories now. I had 2 friends on Club penguin, one stopped playing and I'm still friends with the other one :)

i was such an ungodly deep in animal jam kid. i had a blog and merch and everything. by merch, i mean the FIRST merch, this was before it became mainstream. so i guess i'm a furry hipster now
i was pretty into club penguin too, i had a bunch of toys, books, and the cards.
before either of those, however, i collected webkinz and played the game online. i also played this weird obscure bootleg webkinz for marine animals for a week back in the day??

I played on SeaPals for a bit when I was younger, I had the Pink Anemone Fish, it wasn't that fun of a site though lol
 
Build-A-Bearville was my early childhood. Apparently they shut it down, pretty sad tbh.
 
I was def a Neopets kid, I still play it actually as embarrassing as that is. I was super into Webkinz for a few years. I vaguely remember Bearville, Millsberry, Club Penguin, and Poptropica.
 
Webkinz and Club Penguin were the first online games I got into as a kid. I was more into Webkinz at first and collected over 70+ different plushes. I had 2 accounts on the website and I actually enjoyed playing with the plushes irl with my sister. We made up different scenarios and did plays with them at our library lol.
With Club Penguin, I gradually got more and more obsessed with it as I lost interest in Webkinz. I eventually started asking for memberships and card jitsu collectable cards instead of new Webkinz. I bought a rockhopper plush with birthday money too lolol. Club Penguin became my life and I made a lot of friends on there, but when they stopped coming online I started drifting to other sites.
I joined Moshi Monsters when I was around 12 and I continued using my account there until I was like, 15 lmao. I know that seems kinda old for a website like that but I really only went on there for the forums. I met a lot of cool people on there and would even video chat with them. I recently reconnected with someone from those forums on discord, so I'm pretty happy about that!!!
I loved Moviestarplanet as well but I never made any really good friends on it so it's not as nostalgic for me.
There are a lot of other websites I joined that I can't remember the names of, but online worlds were basically my childhood since I was homeschooled and didn't really have much else to do with my life back then lol.
 
I used to play those games on the 4kids website of shows I used to watch, Moshi Monsters, Stardoll and miniclip games. Addicting games was really popular. All I remember is being the best in my class at this one game lol. The World Hardest Game was the bomb back then too. I used to own a lot of CD-ROM games too; there was a Powerpuff Girls one and one with chess/checkers and other board games. And who could forget Pinball?
 
We didn't have a home computer or laptop when I was a kid, so I mainly played the games at my school. I remember playing Poptropica, and getting onto some educational gaming websites like FunBrain and CoolMath. I remember playing Timez Attack back in fourth grade, and it was sick. It was just so fun. I also got obsessed with Club Penguin for quite a while during my middle school years; so it wasn't that long ago when I decided to stop playing it. I used the app version for it, though.

Oo I played a lot of games as a kid. I used to play kid games on discs before any actual internet stuff. My first actual online game was neopets back in 2004 probably. Around 2006 I started playing habbo hotel, I was into both sites for several years In 2007 I started playing Runescape and still play it on and off to this day. I also played IMVU, wizard101, toontown, club penguin, gaiaonline and games on Nickelodeon and cartoon network around that time as well. And I also went and downloaded free trials and stuff all the time on yahoo games and played a lot of stuff on there. Diner dash, virtual villagers, cake mania etc. In 2010-2011 I started playing omgpop practically daily for over a year until that site shutdown because of draw something. Also smallworlds too in 2011. Oo and town of Salem, toontown rewritten and a few others... I also played some flash games as well.
 
non flash sites? 2 main games:
roblox
and poptropica.
i played a little bit of webkinz some pixe hollow and like weeworld for a bit but man roblox back in the day was the ****. I had membership and everything. It's sad to see what it's become. Im glad poptropica is still the same game. I went back awhile ago on a new account and the old islands are still up. I love that game.
 
"Little Space Heroes" which changed to "Space Heroes Universe" THAT game was my ABSOLUTE jam when i was 9-13. then i started playing acnl and stopped playing. by the time i went back it shut down and i was devastated. even today i miss it because the art style was really really cute and fun. i preferred it way more than club penguin

Toon Town was fun i played then when i was around 8-9

"Build-A-Bear World" or something i was also obsessed with that game. thats about it

and rObLoX
 
I think I played Neopets? Even though I wasn't allowed to at the time. And I vaguely remember playing IMVU, and dressed up so tomboy-ish I was made fun of lmao
