Bebo - send me luv

MSN - the notification noise is still engrained in my head

Limewire - I loved destroying the houses computer

MySpace - AHH I was so jealous of the American scene kids

Does anyone remember tinychat? It was like a webcam chat room where they had a chat board and then multiple people on camera up above the chat. I remember having so many arguments with Americans on there.

The Yahoo chat rooms and MSN Messenger. I loved the noises on MSN of the doors opening and closing when you entered/left. Also ‘Yaahooooooo’ - anyone remember that?!

I also use to use a chat client for Yahoo chat called Cheetachat. It was so cool and seemed the epitome of modern tech - emoticons and all!

In Yahoo Chat I used to spend most my time in a chat group called UK1. They had regular real life meet ups and it was so much fun. It was like a big family, including regular fall outs! I met a few people offline too and it was a right laugh. Happy, innocent days.

I remember tiny chat. One time me and my friend trolled this big fat pedalo by getting him to take off his top and jiggle his moobs. We promised to kiss if he did that. Well we didn't

Also was jealous of the American scene kids. If you ever read on lolcow, Kiki kannibal had a whole drama I didn't know about. It's kind of sad

Handbag forum

Purse Forum? It's still around

 

[Choco88]

Handbag forum

I remember this was gutted when they closed it. Loved seeing what everyone had bought and ootds

 

[orangelolly]

I used Livejournal and ICQ back in the day. I met so many people on Livejournal and became good friends with them. As the site fell apart I slowly but surely lost touch with everyone.
Also MSN chat with the cartoon comic screen. Anyone remember that? You used to be able to be a cartoon character? I loved that

what was thta weird game that was on encarta? I remember playing it while pretending to study in the computer room so we didnt have to go outside in break.
anyone else use the MTV 2chat sites? I used lots of really dodgy chat forums and looking back SO many of the people were clearly adults pretending to be teenagers

 

[Pizzledizzle]

Handbag.com for me too. Home of the legendary ‘which way do you wipe?’ Thread

There used to be a website dedicated to the Carry On films, it was called Carry On line. It was both a fun and knowledgeble place. It came to an end, when the producer of the films - Peter Rogers died. The owner.of the site closed the site quite suddenly. I miss the banter, and the other members of the site, though I never got within the inner sanctum! Good times.

 

[WeepingCassandra]

yes I think I definitely managed to infect our family computer downloading stuff off there.. and bit torrent. I don’t know if that’s still going

One time I downloaded something (I think it might have been Linkin Parks Meteora album) and it came with a virus. Next time my dad was using the computer a pop up with a very large black lady getting “attended to” by four burly bald men popped up… my dad was mystified as to how it’d happened. I can remember it clear as day!

My innocent days of the internet were MySpace, neopets (still going but gone to tit), LiveJournal and DeviantArt!

 

[thegirlscout]

Face party, is that still going? Vampirefreaks as well.
Hollyoaks used to have a forum part with message boards. I got told off for mentioning Trey from the OC got shot to ‘Hide and Seek’ by Imogen Heap. I was so upset I created a new account as I didn’t want people to keep being angry at me
Neighbours (when I watched it) had an Australian website which told you what was coming up in the next week and had pictures. As someone who can’t help herself when it comes to spoilers, I was all over that!
