Goofy things you did on the internet "back in the day"

Thanks, I think it's even funnier knowing it made people really angry on deviantart of all places.

I think it being an anti joke was probably part of the problem.

I think I actually saw a guide to the Sonic Adventure randomly on clearance at a KBToys. While I don't remember the exact year, this would have likely been 2007 at the earliest so that was pretty surreal. I bet that one was pretty fun! Sonic Adventure has so much life, color, and energy and I imagine the guide reflects that. And awesome another person in the "I learned vocabulary from strategy guides" crew! (for the record, I learned quite a bit from gaming magazines as well, which were written at higher reading levels).

Not sure if anyone else would get into the newest thing on the internet and literally be over it WITHIN a week, if not a few days. I probably still have accounts hanging out somewhere that I don't even remember that I have. Some examples:

1. I started a profile with the Ham Ham Paradise forum and had a decent bit of trouble setting up an account and I have used it exactly ONCE since I got it. If anything their Tumblr is updated way more than the site OR forum.
2. I got a Deviantart at point and used it for like a couple weeks and then just fell off. I mostly used it for Pokemon fanart of various ships and once I got through those, I just wasn't interested much anymore.
3. I joined some libertarian forum/blog, that lasted like a couple weeks. I continued perusing the site and still do occasionally, but never bothered beyond 2-3 replies.
4. Also too, too many educational sites since I worked in the education field/industry for a while. So much "wannabe tech," and 95% of it unused to boot.
5. I don't even know if those Facebook book groups that I liked back in like 2008-2009 even still exist anymore, but if they do, I'm probably still in them. 

Who knows, might still have some college profiles hanging around while we are at it.

I was just watching StampyLongHead and ZackScott, and playing flash games on sketchy websites.

Years later, when I was in my class, I got bored and went on a flash archive website which wasn't blocked and had plenty of games.

I discovered a game I forgot about for years called "La Casa de Dora" which I have a distinct memory of playing, but forgot about for the longest time.

I swear that those "primitive" online games had more character than the generic gazillion mobile games we see today. Especially the ones just made for giggles by random people. 

Meanwhile, our school lab computers (shared K-12) AND laptops (which were also shared K-12 and rarely even allowed out) could barely handle text-based websites and Word haha! I don't even know if the laptops had wifi or internet connection, come to think of it. 
All that to say it was a memorable time. I was able to sneak book forums though so it's all good. 
Flash really WAS the old internet, a time I greatly miss now. Anyone just made their own game, and you got so many wild memories out of it vs. the millionth generic puzzle mobile game.
