Didn't have one of those but I did have a Livejournal, GreatestJournal, Xanga and Diaryland plus others.
I remember e-mail providers having low storage, maybe 1MB max and getting e-mails frequently deleted by said providers after not logging in after a certain time.
Using MSN and yahoo chat rooms were a fun way to meet people. I remember there being rooms on Yahoo (were they called conferences?) just for people to have singing sessions.
Locally, almost everyone with a computer and dialup had MSN messenger installed, so plenty chatting with classmates after school on there.
I vaguely remember being subscribed to yahoo groups for fan and local interests. They were a good way to be kept informed.
Surfing the web was fun. I never knew what I would find next.
Oh and Neopets.
I do, it was my first Lemmy instance as well! Many great communities were hosted on there and the vibe there was pretty cool.
Yay, I'm glad to hear it all, your teacher will enjoy the 3d version for sure! Thanks for letting me knowing how things went down :-)
