In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let’s harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite “oldie” is “The Website Is Down,” from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

What’s your fave?

    Crap, I recognize almost everything in this thread and some of it I consider relatively recent.

    I loved forums and participated frequently on a roleplaying forum. Got started roleplaying on Neopets, moved on to gaiaonline as I “matured,” and ended up on a regular forum midway through highschool.

    I once spent 12 hours on Newgrounds watching the most extreme content it had because I couldn’t bring myself to work on a project that was due the next day in middleschool.
