    I used Netzero with some hack that removed the banner. My grandparents are still on 56k to this day and whenever I'm over there I seriously don't know how I lived with a download speed of 5kb/s

    I agree... I don't know how I could stand such a slow speed when looking at porn.

    I actually enjoyed free Juno/NetZero instead of having to always log into AOL. I don't remember which was the first site I ever went to; I was too busy in AOL chats asking for A/S/Ls and role-playing... It was most likely an anime or video game site though, or something for school.

    Probably gamefaqs, I remember looking up strategies for beating the last level in Sonic Spinball as a kid because I just couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be hitting.
    Spoiler: show
    You remember this.

    Probably the X-Files official site. www.thex-files.com I think it was. I used to read that shit religiously.

    I used AOL back in the day and I don't remember what website was the first one I visited, but I remember wasting hours of my life playing Slingo.

    I think it was hotmail before MS purchased it, then gamefaqs.

    Come on now, Seanbaby's site isn't THAT old. I went there all the time shortly after he started freelancing for EGM 8-9 years ago. His articles on the NES games on his site gave me some of the best laughs ever, and were much better than the censored/toned down ones that got printed in the mag.


    I can't remember the first site I visited, but I'm certain that it was an AOL page of some sort in the mid 90s. I also remember the big search engines at the time - Lycos, HotBot, etc. I don't think Google was even around at the time. If it was, it was in its most infant stage.

    AOL.com here. first site that came up after installation. Can't remember first website I actually typed into a search bar. It's honestly either [link removed] or thongbunz.net, or Helena's Chateau(which was a geocities webpage decided to DOA2.

    Can't remember which one I went to first, but these were my regulars before I discovered free porn:
    http://www.jokefrog.com/
    http://www.stickdeath.com/
    Joke and parody sites were the "in" thing back when I was in middle school. Still remember that old ass Brittany Spears parody video and the Doritos Girl: Before and After photoshop. Ah, memories...

    My first internet provider was dynasty.net. I still remember the damn password. Then, my dad changed it, so I keylogged it lol. Then he removed the internet altogether. The thing about dynasty, they hosted subscriber websites, and the website URL was their username (eg http://www.dyansty.net/userlogin). So I bruteforced (on a 56k) and accumulated several passwords from a friends house, and voila, internet again. Not the end of the story however. Dynasty somehow found out, and killed my connections. So then I defaced their webpage. They fucking left world write open and I just FTP'd a new index.html.

    I must have been 14 years old when that happened, and I honestly don't think I have half the computer savvy and wits today that I had then.

    BBS Boards technically, but the first website was this basic bare bones site that had major search engines and link listing. 2nd was probably backdooring PersianKitty or Smuthut lol

    -BEFORE- FFXI came out, it was a FFIX strategy guide site I used to beat FFIX and collect all those fucking chocobo graphs. Or something like that. Before that, I think maybe I might have gone onto a website for a Banjo-Kazooie contest to win an exclusive N64 with Banjo-Tootie.

    GameSages, Space Jam, and Stickdeath all ring a bell...but I think my first was the old Independence Day movie site. On Prodigy dial-up.

    I'm an old fart, so I was using dial-up BBSes and at school I could get on the NSFNET from the mainframe. I remember how amazed I was when GOPHER became available, then even better with Veronica.

    I wish I had never canceled my original AOL account, my e-mail was [email protected]. No goofy name or random numbers needed back then, was may 2000 people on it at the time. But then I learned how to hook up to the university network for free, so said screw paying AOL.
