You're the man now, dog!

I don't know how many of you were around to experience the Internet culture of 2006, but what was once one of the biggest sites on the Internet shut down a while ago... but now it's back! And my old password that I hadn't used in almost 14 years still works.

I've been on the internet for quite some time ...
But never heard of that site!

Granted, I was 11 in 2006, so I probably wasn't crazy familiar with internet culture just yet.

The farthest I can remember back to is Myspace, AIM chats, old school deviantArt, old Runescape, and AMVs

They're called "sites" but in modern terms we'd more call them "pages." You upload an image or animation, and you upload a sound clip, and you add some text that gets that gradient zooming effect applied to it, and that's literally all there is to it.

As simple as it is, people did some massively creative stuff with it back in the day. Its simplicity and short-form nature are the reasons it works: to be good, you have to make something clever that can deliver its whole punchline in a super short amount of time, which lead a bunch of creative people to do witty things.

Of course, it's also one of the predecessors to modern memes. This was one of the earliest things you could have called an image macro generator.

some of the pages did give me a large-meme feeling. h'm. that's cool.

Oh hey, I vaguely remember this.

I like Jigsawnimo. It's like tetris.

Posted in the wrong thread. I haven't heard of the website mentioned in the original post before coming to this thread.
