  2005 was roughly the end of the internet dark ages, but it was barely different to the 90s.

    the end of the Internet dark ages

    That seems like a strangely backwards way to word it in my mind. Thats around the time the Internet stopped being “the internet” to me.

      I see what you mean. Yeah, the internet was a better place back then.

      I was coming from more of a stance of the tech behind the internet.

      When someone could ruin my game of ultima online by picking up the phone.

      When niche message boards existed and msn messenger was how i spoke to my friends.
