I was there. I was in the trenches. On 4chan. On digg, back when it was good. On reddit when it was for obscure weird coders. On utoob, pre-goog. We forged culture. Everything from rickrolls to habbo hotel, man. I was there. We were just kids, man. Just fuckin' kids.
BBS, USENET, and webrings were our Greek and Roman antiquity to your W2 Renaissance ^____^
