the internet didn't exist when I was a kid

Ditto.

You're 70 years old?

I suppose OP means that households having computers were pretty rare, so the internet didn't really 'exist' for them.

We didn't get a computer till I was 10 years old or so and then my parents were strict with it. I was allowed 1 hour of internet time a day (and not even every day).

I know what OP meant.

Then your question was unnecessary.

Almost nobody had access to the internet until some time in the early-mid 90s and you know it.

You're shitting me. Down the bowl and through the plumbing.

Access to the internet in 1990 when I first got it (as a computer science graduate student) cost our department $16,000 a month for a T1.

You must believe that when I was a child, the internet existed, but children did not have access to it. (I'm 50, not 70)

Yahoo Chat Rooms and the DragonballZ website. As a pre-teen/teenager, I spent a lot of time on the Television Without Pity and Fox Shows forums.

Does anyone else here have any fond pre-teen/teen memories of gURL.com and gURLmAIL?

This image is hitting me with such extreme nostalgia it almost hurts.

Nickoleodeon.com

Fictionalley, Portkey, Mugglenet, basically the big Harry Potter ones. Also Livejournal.

Gaia Online was hilarious to hang around on when I was a kid. There were a few other social/fan sites that don't exist anymore and can't remember the names of.

I wasted so much of my time on Gaia when I was younger. Good times.

Anime Web Turnpike and every shrine on it.

Fuck do I miss the turnpike! OMG. We need a new one.

DBZ Uncensored. (If you're unfamiliar, it's not what you think. It was a website that noted everything cut from the original version for the dub.) Also, the site "The Manga of Takeuchi Naoko."

Oh! And Rumic World had a hopping forum. The above two were mostly informational, but uh, I hung out on them a lot. :)

Strange question, but did you ever RP on aol chat as Usagi and Michiru? Your username is familiar. XD

Sorry, I never did any RP!

http://dbzu.3gkai.com/ it still exists!! I remember this one too

I'm... about to show my age, but I used to connect to BBSs all the time as a kid. A lot of them had some simple games that I really loved.

Once I got AOL, I spent most of my time on RhyDin chatrooms, or Federation. I got into SFOL later on but transferred over to USF because they were a little more flexible.

*high five* I spent a lot of time on alt.fan.sailor-moon and mailing lists like one for Slayers RP. We briefly had some other ISP besides AOL but I don't remember much about them because I was so young. But I remember using Netscape and reading The Internet for Dummies to figure stuff out. I miss all the file trading that was around so easy back then.

And Lemonade Stand, Pinball Construction Set , Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, Number Munchers, Word Munchers, Odell Lake, World Games, Breakout, and various other games (a lot of which you can get here -https://archive.org/details/softwarelibrary_apple). If I had wanted to talk to someone while I was on the computer, well, the cord connecting our phone handset to the base was very long, but not quite long enough to reach over to the computer.
