I miss Encarta. The much-missed bridge between book encyclopedias and Google

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

MySpace and Tom everyone's first friend.

 

[peekachu]

iSketch - it was basically an online version of Pictionary and had a really great community! You could make your own custom wordlists and there were lots of amazing artists. It helped me get through my GCSE’s and A Levels, I spent hours de-stressing on there

 

[Warpaint]

I remember in the early 00's there was JoeCartoon.com that had loads of random gory animation shorts. They looked quite good for the time

 

[Gym&Tonic]

Worldpop
Dotmusic
MSN Messenger
Old school Digital Spy before it went shit.

 

[Thelife&times]

The Heatworld forum. 10% celebrity discussion, 90% trolling.

 

[Blurp]

What Not To Knit and What Not To Crochet websites. I remember a group of us crying with laughter until it hurt over them.

Neopets still around?

Also used to go on Gaiaonline. My bastard brother got my account banned though and it was never the same again. He asked for passwords in the forum when I left myself signed in.

Stardoll too!

I loved gaiaonline! I spent actual real money dressing up my avatar

AOL forums
I used to be on the C4 forums and Hollyoaks too!

Yes I used the MTV chat sites and I also found a good friend through the pen pal section on the MTV music teletext pages. Also C4 had one on their teletext music section "Planet Sound", I think it was called "Zine" and people left their email address and what bands they were into. It does seem so dodgy now

I remember almost giving my home address to a girl who claimed to be in the US and wanted to orgamise an exchange for me to visit her, I shudder to think now, I did find some nice people albeit no one I am in touch with anymore

eBaumsworld
Miniclip - there was a game on there called “Boneless Girl” I don’t even know how to describe it but got banned from all the computers at school

& I remember a website that was so strange I can’t for the life of me think of the name but had really weird videos. One was the “badger, badger, badger, badger, badger MUSHROOM MUSHROOM” song.

I miss the early 2000’s

Weebl and Bob for the badgers

iSketch - it was basically an online version of Pictionary and had a really great community! You could make your own custom wordlists and there were lots of amazing artists. It helped me get through my GCSE’s and A Levels, I spent hours de-stressing on there

Damn I miss it. Used to report people for writing

 

[squiffle]

I was on problempages.co.uk for YEARS. Made some lovely friends on there - even met some in person. God there were some dramas! I used to spend hours on there every day pretty much.

 

[ForeverMakingJibesWicked]

There used to be one called “snackspot.org” where they’d report on the “first sightings” of limited and festive edition sweets and chocolate I truly loved it

Also another one called “NTK” - Need to know. Was written in the same ASCII style as Popbitch but I’m sure Charlie Brooker was behind it.

 

[iLoveMeSomeCanoles]

Are you thinking of Rebecca Nahid? She was a bitch about everyone and everything.

And there was Peter Pinsent who was obsessed with Geri Halliwell

Yes, Rebecca Nahid! I didn't like her either.
