Old websites you remember

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
I loved Doll Palace, Neopets, rotten.com, yahoo chatrooms, yahoo games, MySpace, faceparty, MSN messenger....
Those were the days. The internet is rubbish now in comparison!

Anyone else was on Popmundo? I just had a blast from the past, this was a thing around 2007, mind you, so not talking about "early internet". It was like a music industry text based game, you would sign up, make a character and build your band up through ranks etc. Spent a good year or two on it until my interest fizzled out lol

I really miss MSN Messenger the most, text apps today suck 😁

Anyone remember crystal rainforest in primary school!??
Oh my god! You would not believe how many hours I spent trying to figure out the name of that only a month or so ago! THANK YOU! 🤣 I have such vivid memories of playing it in the ‘IT suite’ aka school kitchen complete with some computers that was also haunted 😂

ETA: Stardoll and Neopets were the best. I still play Neopets. Never lost my skill at Ice Cream Machine or Hasee Bounce 😉

My parents got our first computer when I was about 8 in the early 2000’s. They had no idea what kind of crazy sites my brother and I would go on as kids.

Can anyone remember Sfogs? It had loads of ghost stories, pictures of “ghosts”, orbs and “mermaid” skeletons.

I was obsessed with Stardoll. But then found loads of creepy profiles that would write sex stories and looking back now was probably old men using it:sick:

My all time favourite was rathergood.com I can’t even explain the types of videos on there? Can anyone else remember?:ROFLMAO:

Does anyone remember the Million Dollar Homepage? This college student set it up to help pay for his college fees, and it was just a single page with thousands of click through adverts, that he sold space for - genius idea when you think about it! (For its time anyway!)

I think it was Lycos and you could send one free text message to someone.
I have no idea what it was called but it might have been assasin or something and you could kill Britney Spears and other celebs. Might have been the same website with the hamsters singing and you put them in the microwave. I sound like a psycho haha

Does anyone remember “coke music” ? It was basically another version of habbo hotel I feel like no one ever remembers it, my brother was massively into habbo at the time and I was a bit too young but I used to beg him to let me go on it music as you could make your own songs haha, but for some reason it was not online or you couldn’t log in at certain times, my brother said it was because of the time difference in America 😂 or maybe this was to leave him alone, anyway it was good but disappeared pretty quickly.
 
I do remember the old Yahoo jingle... Yahooo-ooo! And they parodied it for Bruce Almighty. It does seem ridiculous now that there were so many competing search engines and now we use ‘Google’ as a verb for looking something up online.

Thinking of sound related memories I think it was in MSN Messenger that you could send either a sound reaction or an animated smiley (before we had the word emoji!!)... there was def one that went ‘Oh ma gawd’ in a Southern US accent that got used a lot

Does anyone remember a flash game/animation sure called Gprime?

I used to use this to play pointless games like falling girl, the sand game, iGod and The Torture Game. Was a good way to pass time but I just tried to find it and it looks like it closed down a few years ago.
 
I have so many, I think I spent a bit too much time online in the 00’s🤣
mouse breaker.com - loads of flash games!

Runescape - free online multiplayer, spent so many hours on this despite not really knowing what I was doing. It’s still going today I keep meaning to check it out.

I used to love the games on the cbbc website, especially the Tracy Beaker ones where you could design your own bedroom and stuff.

Denis Lewis Heptathalon on bbc sport was a really addictive game and one of the few games we could play on the school computers. BBC really did have some legendary games on their website back in the day.

At school we used to go on a website called footie.net. You could design your own football kits, boots and I think even a stadium, but you got given criteria you had to meet. It was so fun!

I sketch was great fun, really innovative for its time.

I had a piczo site and I still remember the url for it, so cringe. Everyone just used to write about themselves and what their favourite things were and people would have counters on their sites so it became a bit of a popularity contest over who had the most ‘clicks’ even though all our websites were full of boring tit and glittery gif

There was always drama on bebo and MySpace over top friends😆

I got so much music from lime wire, I think I got quite lucky with virus’ and didn’t have many issues. I still have all the music I downloaded saved on a hard drive somewhere.

deathclock.com was a bit of a craze at one point.

Along with the usuals that have been mentioned like habbo hotel, bebo & eastenders game etc a group of me and my girlfriends would go on HotOrNot 🤣 I had a profile and thinking back now far too many seedy men messaging my school age self 🤢

I would also go on a site where you play games against a few others in a room like scrabble or boggle etc and you could all chat, there were juts chat rooms too where I would get a new boyfriend every week 🤪

‘Hi ASL?’ 😉

Did anyone go on rate my teacher 🤣

Also how funny was it on piczo when people would do 'head 2 head' and post a pic of 2 girls and a comment box where people decide who the better looking one was 😭😂

I’ve just remembered another one. SwapitShop.com. Very similar to eBay but aimed at kids/teens. You sold and bid on things with ‘swap it points’ rather than actual money and your profile had a rating based on how reliable you were as a seller. It was actually legit, I remember getting grand theft auto vice city and San Andreas for ps2 off of there and I ‘sold’ a few of my own things too. Items were sent to their offices to be sent on from there to the winners so it was quite safe in that your address was never shared with other users. Now I need to go and find out what happened to that website.
