What were your first websites?

[Chaotix]

When you first started exploring the information super highway, what kind of websites did you visit?

I remember posting on the forum called DDRFreak.com years ago but the forums shut down in 2011.

So which ones did you all visit? Are they still around? Have they changed completely?

I went to unknown geek and funny junk back in 2004-2005. I can't find unknown geek anymore so I guess it's gone. funny junk hasn't changed. The first forum I joined was in 2007. I was 12. I still go on there, but it's so dead. There's about 6 or 7 people who go on at least once a month. but there's like 4 of us out of the group who post almost daily with each other. I'm not going to say the name cause I don't really want trolls there lol.

Oh goodness, I wanna say maybe either neopets or the official hamtaro website.

 

[Joy]

Nicktropolis, Funbrain, and clubpenguin.

There was this one site about cereal but I forget what it was...

I remember going on 3 websites as a 6-7 year-old who first experienced the Internet. One was an online Pokemon battle simulator, may actually be Showdown today, but who knows. The other was Battleon.com, it was what I spent most of my time doing and pretty much how I started being interested in gaming on PC. xD And lastly, Newgrounds. The site was full of funnily gory animations involving Capcom and Nintendo characters, so it appealed to my little naive mind. x)

TBT was one of my first i think. I know I tried to join Neopets forever but every time I tried to join it was like "lol jk this username is taken !!" even if i made my username be something like "gsdafgkydsgkyr3iy5ovqo9crno" so yeah I had a rough childhood #NoNeopets

Ya, I hated that to. Neopets was such a big thing when I was younger, so wish it came back though. xD

I remember playing a lot of Robot Rage on Miniclip. Those graphics.
Albinoblacksheep was another popular site back in the day. I would also go on websites that had to do with toys I owned like Polly Pockets, Barbie, Whatsherface, Diva Starz, etc. I would play the minigames on the Disney Channel site. I played Toon Town for like a week. I played a ton of VMK and Neopets. I had a Millsberry account. I loved dress up games.(Who remembers this?) I had a Runescape account and a Club Penguin account.

[King Dorado]

sports fan message boards. so pretty much all argumentative, flame-war folks all the time.

 

[aetherene]

I think my first website was probably The N, which is now the TeenNick website. I remember playing their Avatar High game, which I was just addicted to. They also had this prom game too, but I don't think they have it anymore.

I did play Neopets a little but then I couldn't do much because my computer's firewall blocked me from accessing a lot of the stuff.

Then I found a fanfiction website called Anime Spiral (which has long been shut down), which is how I got into fanfiction. Good times.

I got into a lot of forums, but some just shut down. Then there was Gaia Online, haha. I was there for a couple years until I finally quit cause someone gave me scammed money. I did log in a couple years ago to see what they had done with the place. It's really different there. I kinda wanna just delete my account tho and erase it from existence. Seeing myself as I was when I was 14 is not fun.

 

[Feyre]

Barbie and Friendster

 

[MozzarellaSticks]

When we first got internet I mostly just looked things up. Or played flash games. Neopets was pretty popular not that long later.

My first forum was ACC.

 

[Alienfish]

probably swedish chat sites that were around way before facebook. but my cousins and friends back then all had it lol

otherwise idk really.. neopets came after

 

[Isabella]

i can't remember the exact first website I've been on, there were a lot. Neopets was one of the first I think, then millsberry, and the WB website. I used to play this Kirby game a lot that I never could find again today. I also fondly remember being on Pokemon crater a lot with friends, and I think there was a forum thingy on it. I found out about club penguin at some point and that was a huge chunk of my middle school days with friends.

 

[Chris]

Several BBS in 2004 - for TY Beanie Babies and The Sims 2.

I browsed/joined The Sims 2 UK (later merged into Electronic Arts UK in 2007), Fogu, Harvest Moon Archives (regular & RP), and Mrs Nesbit's Disney Board all over 2004-2005.

Neopets, nick,com, jetix.tv, miniclip, Clubpenguin, dresssupgames.net (mostly because my sister got me into it), Pottermore online, Runescape, Newgrounds, ugh my days on newgrounds were so awful wow.

 

[Miharu]

I don't exactly remember my first websites, but the ones I remember the most when I was super young was Crunchyroll, Club Penguin, Animeseason.com, mangafox.com, and mainly anime/manga sites ahahaha! (I know I'm forgetting quite a few xD )

I'm pretty sure my first forums where to do with pixeling. Doing a search of my old username these seem to be the forums I used from around 2003/4 - 2005/6
Pixelbee (gone), KawaiiPixels (gone), Ittou Kousaku, Lusciousbee, EdenEnchanted, TheDollPalace.

After that I joined Gaiaonline (2006+) and ACC (2006)

A few other forums I joined around 2008/2009:
ZomgForums, OtakuZone (gone), AnimeSuki, MyAnimeList.. and a few others that I didn't go on much.
