Oh lawdy. Having to go through this just for *** Neopets. Srs bsns.
I haven't fed my neopets in well over 10 years. I wonder if they're still alive. Hmm...
/debates whether or not to login to neopets later.

Edit: I have 2 Mutumbo fruits or whatever they're called. Estimated at 999,999 neopoints, or something like that, if anyone is interested (barring them having gotten lost over the years somehow). XD

But seriously. PM me. >.>

And now Torrents are so superior to all of it lol.

I prefer rapidshare and mirrors like that. Never been a torrent fan :/

Ditto, but I prefer to use Megaupload or Mediafire. I swear Rapidshare is always "full for free users" and crap and hotfile makes you wait like an hour between downloads. c.c

Either or, or a mix is usually good when you don't have a premium. Warez-bb.org and projectw.org :D

I use whatever I can. It just gets me when I decide to get like 20 albums in one day.

The only paintbrush I ever found was a rainbow one. I used to get jealous when people had an entire shop of paintbrushes. /neopetrage

I don't think Neopets can die; just get really, really hungry.

Remember when you could have whatever song / wallpaper / layout you wanted in your shop / guild?

A few years ago they made it so you could only use Neopet codes. I got so *** pissed.

I made an account with the name "Jesushatesyoukid" and it was banned xD

All these religious nuts got on me in the forums.
Neopets is run by Christians. Know that.

I remember the fond days of CompuServe and Prodigy before anyone even knew what AOL was! It's funny to hear people talking about how they "remember 56k". I was the coolest kid on the block with my lightning fast 14.4k on my 386 with SVGA monitor!

Oh, ***. I think I've dated myself.
lol, I had an 80386/25MHz with a turbo button that bumped it to a whopping 33MHz. I had a Hays SmartModem 2400 BPS external modem. I remember my 40mb hard drive had to be partitioned because DOS2.x couldn't read all 40 megs of it :D

I partitioned using XTREE. Anyone remember that? And writing batch files for all of my games...that came on multiple 5 1/4" floppies.

Back in those days, chicks would dig guys with a 5-digit baud rate. That's right.

West of House
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.

Copyright 1994? Looks like the website hasn't been updated since then either lol.


Don't forget to get your netskills on either.

Oh wow, the overly flashy gifs, the colors, the fonts. Everything about that screams 1999. XD

My first mmo (mud actually) was a site called Gamersinn.com. It no longer exists, and I wish I could find it once again, but so far I've had no luck.

Sadly, in 10 years, we'll look back at a time where "I can haz cheezburger" reigned supreme.
