It was a mind blowing time to witness. The innocence that was there is long gone and even though its got more polish now there is way less character. Says a lot about the world when given such a tool what they choose to do...

People used to put a lot more effort into websites.

Funny and sad to see how the big sights ring fenced a significant portion of the internet, and then forced it down standard way of presenting information.

:blessed:
Image porn that had to load line by line and then once completed 5 minutes later it was time to beat that meat into submission :shaq:

.avi vids came in before gifs and changed the whole ass game for porn :noah:
Then broadband came in which could handle multiple vids and the amateur/hardcore stuff started really hitting :salute:

All those password websites setup to get into paid porn sites :smugdraper:

There was no such thing as free porn back in the day, everything was “sign up for this trial!” Bullshyt :beli:

Free porn was always around. P2P or getting accounts online. I don't think they cracked down on the latter until the late 00s.

P2P didn’t show up till right at y2k, I was on the net as early as 93 so free sites really didn’t pop up until my mid teens and by then the combo of late night hbo and the dvd market (girls gone wild :whoo:) were large enough that waiting on vids to load on the net late at night was counter productive since my sister wanted to be on the fkn phone all night long with her bf :beli:

Yep, yep. Sounded like it was having a brain freeze. After the connection, would be all good until the next phone call dropped it. :snoop:

Finally getting that upgrade to DSL and immediately hearing that "Welcome! You've got Mail!"

teens today will never understand the pain of downloading porn via dial up on napster, waiting over an hour to download, only to find out it was Bill Clinton saying,"I did not have sexually relations with that women" :mjcry:
