Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?

I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.

I found this website when I was like 13 and thought it was pretty cool. I spent most of my time bullshitting on ultimate guitar forums before it got shutdown and sputnikmusic
