But, each site was kind of its own community.

The common interest (the site or its subject) was an icebreaker really. people usually...USUALLY... towed a l...Sun, 06 Aug 2023 10:43:27 +0000https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=285500https://forum.spacehey.com/reply?id=285500I was born in 1988. Trust me, there have always been douchebags posting things online for validation.  Kinda reminds me of this conversation from the movie Soylent Green (Shot in 1973, set in 2022) Sol    There was a world, once, you punk. Det. Thorn  :  Yes, so you keep telling me. Sol  :  I was there. I can prove it. Det. Thorn  :  I know, I know. When you were young, people were better.

Back in the day, I would just go through game websites like y8, y3 (gamesbox), fupa, addictinggames, kongregate, you name it. I mostly grew up with flash games and edgy content.
