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.

We gave one of them to my cat loving sister in law and the removed gave it away to a friend. Like, if you didn't want it I would have taken it. I'm still salty if you can't tell

No, but my mum did buy me one of those when I asked her to get me the CatFace one lmao. Even though I gave her the specific link. Ended up having to buy it myself.

This is CatFace, and like I say the clock face is his giant cat head. Then his little dangling body is the pendulum.

Also here's a test, apparently Jebora lets you upload images directly.
