1.0 was fun because that was the era of webrings and you could find weird cranks. It's where I learned about anime for the first time.

A website I had once in like 1997 was just a repository of pictures from Star Trek. Not even good pictures, they were like 178x123 compressed jpegs of Patrick Stewart and people would email me relentlessly to add more pictures.

See, objectively that sucked. However that is cool as hell.

Like, time cube guy would never survive in today's meme world. John Titor's AMA would flop.

We have an oversaturation of weird cranks online now. Now everyone is a crank, including all the libs on Hexbear like you and me

USENET and bulletin boards were better than 2.0 and they can fight me.
