My pick would be, dealing with the 'wild west' atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

Content.

There is MUCH more stuff of almost any kind on the web now.

    Other than jokes, the internet used to be way better for jokes. Or at least, I assume it is. I don't spend as much time these days looking up jokes like I did back then.

    Christian and Scott's interactive top ten list was a great one, anyone remember that? I might have even had a few submissions that made it in to the top ten over the years.

    And rinkworks, loved the computer stupidities.

    Wow both sites still | exist.
