I'm going to make a Christmas/monstergirl themed stream in 
21th of December at 4 EST
If you have any suggestion about Christmas shows/movies with qt monstergirls leave them in this thread!
Baking, brewing, and cooking are berry important hearth-building and health-building skills. They are a surefire way to make yourself /comfy/, Anon! What are you baking, brewing, or cooking at the moment? How is it coming out? What will you be trying next time? Is there anything you'd like to try improving? Is there something you'd like to learn? Maybe you have something you'd like to teach us? I tried some old things and new things today! Pics related are: >the bread I made earlier today; a shrimple white cobb loaf. This was the first time I was just able to make it from memory. It felt great to be able to just reach for the ingredients and go through the motions. As luck wood have it, the prove went well and the slashes formed up beautifully. I was worried that the crumb inside wood be a little wet but it turned out berry nice with a good chewy crust. The loaf is wrapped in beeswax cloth now so I can eat it over the week. I'm considering getting a sourdough starter going but I don't know if I'm good enough to handle it yet. >my first attempt at glazing carrots Apparently glazing (which I have found out is different from caramelising) is a basic technique that even professionals find difficult to get perfect eberry time. I think my first attempt here had just a touch too little water and a touch too little sugar, though I reckon I got the butter correct. See how the finished carrots don't have an even glaze? They still tasted berry good with some parsley and finishing salt. Next I'm going to try blanching with asparagus. >sous vide pork tenderloin >fell for the sous vide meme Yes, and I love it! Weirdly, the garlic I put on these pork tenderloins was stained bluish-green by the other herbs during the water bath, but they cooked down to a tasty colour during the two minute finishing sear. I had the pork together with the carrots for dinner. They tasted great and I felt a great upswell of wellbeing after I finished them. Your turn, Anon!
Let's have a new thread without a tonne of broken images.  Have there been any new forms of /retro/ media (could be movies, games, anime, websites, etc.) that wanted to look old and actually succeeded?

There's an artist called BlueTheBone who makes "retro"-styled animations, cheesecake, and porn.  Like any modern hack, he overdoses on visual clutter and uses filters that don't actually resemble the time period he's trying to emulate - but despite that, I think his style is consistently decent.  If he relied less on computers and filters, then I think he'd be a much better artist, but that goes without saying for most contemporary artists.

The really weird things happen when he tries to make modern character designs and media look old, like pic 2.  It isn't exactly wrong, but there is something perplexing about viewing characters and series that were developed specifically with modern aesthetics in mind.
We are looking for decorations for the board! If you would like to contribute a banner, custom CSS, spoiler image, or other decoration to the board, please do so here.

https://zzzchan.xyz/christian/index.html

We don't have much to offer unfortunately, as I made a thread asking us what we should do about less than four days before today, and we were only officially invited to post here with our own thread about yesterday. Regardless, in the spirit of Christmas and the Holy Night, I wanted to start by spreading goodwill and good cheer to everyone by sharing some verses that I hold close to my heart and invite others to do the same, even if they aren't a Christian.

Past sharing scriptures, this is meant to be a comfy thread, so really anything can be discussed as long as it's somewhat relevant to Christianity and follows the rules here (don't forget about Santa's Thunderdome, please do us all a favor and keep this thread clean at the very least!). This thread can also be for prayer requests, support, questions about faith, confessions, you name it!

Now that's all out of the way, here's some verses I'd like to share from my King James Bible and what they mean for me.
Matthew 17:20 - "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
Proverbs 4:23 - "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
Proverbs 20:29 - "The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the grey head."
Psalm 41:3 - "The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness."

These verses mean a lot to me, as someone who struggles with anxiety, self-doubt, and depression. Knowing He loves me, even as I struggle with my temptations give me hope and another reason to look forward to waking up every day. Even if you have very little faith in Him, He will still answer to you because He loves you. I went through some hardships in life that really made me question my faith, but every day I still wake up, living the impossible.

Do you have anything to share or talk about here? Go ahead! But remember,
Jesus loves and saves all. God bless you and have a Merry Christmas!
it's the season of mutual aid!
This is a dedicated thread for drunkards and troublemakers who need to cool their head, discussion of meta drama, and other ills that come along with the holiday season. 
The board owner recommends hiding this thread for the duration of /christmas/.
Should you wish to ignore the above warning, then please do not complain if things you do not want to see appear here. Rules 1, 4, and 5 still apply here. Remember that it's the holiday season so don't have an aneurism.
Number 3, or is it 4? Who's keeping count, anyways?

Last thread hit bump limit, so now here's an all new Trashchan edition of the thread. I like this place. I think it will make a good home for us.

What's on your mind, tonight?
Divulge your failures, your triumphs, and your struggles from the day. No event too small to mention!

Today, I had a lot of fun cleaning the floors in the home. I ran up and down the hallway with a soapy towel, got on my hands and knees and scooby-doo scrubbed the kitchen and bathroom floors, and was completely exhausted and satisfied by the end of it.

Hey Admin, I'm trying to set my custom CSS on /comfy/ but it says
'''
Bad Request
Custom CSS strict mode is enabled and does not allow the following: "@", "url("

I believe it's because I link the background image in it, despites I uploaded it in the "Assets" settings of the board.

It works well when I test my CSS in the "on the fly" settings though so I believe it may be a permission problem that prevent me to put anURL in my CSS. Please halp !

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS ANONS, AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

You are cordially invited to watch the Uncommon Time Winter stream with anons from all over the internet. It's that magical time of year where bitter hatred brings us together to laugh at a terrible RPG maker gamer created (and I use that term loosely) by a tumblerite with daddy issues as deep as the grand canyon. Unless I'm mistaken this winter stream marks the 8th year of this traditional imageboard custom, and frankly it gets better every year with new content, and new fanart of Teagan's abs.

The current schedule has yet to be finalized, but it will start on the 18th and end as late as the 24th spending somewhere from 8-12 hours of play time a day because I have no life. It's possible that I may go beyond that time period, but I'll skip Christmas day so everyone can spend time with their families. Watch this thread for any further updates. I hope to see you there.

Thanks in advance, Anons. Cheers.  :)

>original OP archive follows:

If you would like to assist in advertising the event on the 18th, please read at least "Part 2" of this OP!

Part 1:
I sent the following email out to all relevant Board Owners who are on the whitelist or graylist. Feel free to copy bits and pieces of it.
>Good Evening,
>I won't go into details, but long story short I should have gotten back to everyone sooner. The event is still on for this weekend and everyone is still invited if they would like to come hang out. Given the short notice, if anyone wants to make an advertisement thread (or if I just haven't seen it yet) consider it greenlit! The details are in the Christmas pudding, so here's what's happening in shorthand:
>There will be a Christmas radio on anon.cafe/christmas featuring music (Christmas and non-Christmas) from prolikewoah/animu, smuglo.li (probably, working out the details with that DJ), and anon.cafe/l 
>Music stream will happen on the 18th of December from 9AM Saturday American West Coast to roughly 9PM or later (5PM Saturday to 5AM Sunday GMT/UTC, or 2AM Sunday to 2PM Tokyo time)
>There will be a separate games thread for anons who want to play games, with servers and hosts edited into the OP (the radio thread will link back to this thread as well) [since the goal is for anons to socialize and enjoy themselves- OJ, EDF, and Veloren are probably on the books right now]*.
>Feel free to make an advertising thread promoting your board. If you want to have a fun activity attached, that is also welcome!
>I will try to check my email in the evenings. Tomorrow I'm wrapping up the playlist and emergency playlist, and then if I finish it in a timely manner I will try to advertise where possible. Otherwise I will send out invitations on Friday. I am also asking anons to help with advertising, so if your board has not whitelisted or blacklisted the event, I apologize for anons advertising on your boards in advance. Please email me if you would like your board removed from the graylist that will be posted to anon.cafe/christmas here shortly.
>Best Regards,
>-ネネ・シール
*forgot to include the [] part in the email.

Part 2:
If you would like to help with advertising to boards, please do so! In fact I will go as far as to say if anon doesn't help I can't guarantee I will be able to give them a heads up! I will send out everything I can over the next few days, but I need to wrap up the playlist tomorrow and all help will be appreciated! There is no time like the present and there are still a few days, so advertise it to any boards you like and want to see present! If your board is not on the list, consider it a "graylist" board. Graylist boards have not communicated back via email, and I've lost track of the relevant thread if I or someone else did make one. If they communicate a desire to not participate, please inform me so I can add them to the blacklist to prevent further solicitation. If I have listed your board in the wrong section or used the wrong URL, please inform me and I will fix it as soon as possible! Boards are in no particular order.

If the board you want to advertise to is not listed (and is not part of the webring), consider them a graylist board until they tell you otherwise.
Advertising to groups and hangouts of anons is welcome.

Blacklist:
Only three groups advertised to have requested blacklisting, so I don't feel it necessary to post their names. Chances are anon will not have problems unless he is advertising inside of IRCs, webring boards not on the white/graylists, or is asking about the Lutrinae subfamily of animals. If you don't get the references you don't need to know them. Obviously don't invite 4chan either.

Combien de temps avant que nos racailles se rendent compte qu'il existe des revolvers à six coups en vente libre en France ?
J'ai découvert cette histoire récemment, et je n'ai pas pu retenir mes larmes : un américain trouve un bébé écureuil et l'adopte. L'écureuil grandi, a des interactions avec les humains et même un chat, et globalement a l'air assez épanoui. Il devient une célébrité grâce à Internet. Puis, un beau jour, l'État toque à la porte de son propriétaire et l'exécute. Un agent s'est fait mordre pendant l'opération, ce qui montre qu'ils y sont allés comme des bourrins et que le petit animal a eu peur et s'est défendu.

L'affaire a été commentée par la Droite américaine qui met l'accent sur la dichotomie entre le laxisme de l'État en matière d'immigration illégale, et son zèle à persécuter un animal de compagnie qui ne présentait aucun danger. Est-cela, un pays libre ?

Hey everyone.

What do you guys do before going to bed? Do you guys sleep well? 

Personally I just shut down my pc and just go to sleep.

For me it takes time to actually start sleeping (usually an hour). I'll go to bed but after some time I'm just thinking my own thoughts and I can't fall asleep.
Post what you're working on, won't you?

What was the last thing you watched, and what did you think of it?
What games are you playing lately? Trying to beat Battletoads 1cc but I can't get past the 4th stage where it's all ice.
The first thing I do when I get home is to change my clothes for my "home outfit".
This is important for me because it allows me to mark a frontier between the outside world and my comfy den. This is an old habit from a time I was living in a big city and not wanting to bring the outside dirt and sadness inherent in that kind of environment into my home.
Now I live in the country but I have kept this ritual.

What's your favorite "home outfit" /comfy/ ?
I generally put some old jogging pants, old t-shirts or sweaters depending of the season. I also have a warm bathrobe I like wearing after a good shower and staying naked underneath. Also I never wear underpants, they're not comfy for staying at home.
I'm always barefoot, sometimes with socks when I feel a little bit cold.

Tout à l'heure je suis parti marcher dans la campagne. Nuit noire, pas trop froide mais avec un petit vent de nord-est qui fait friser les oreilles et un petit crachin insistant. Je rêvassais et je croyais parfois être sur un bateau au milieu d'un océan, perdu quelque part dans quelques latitudes septentrionales. Ce genre de moments où le monde entier semble s'être effacé et tout devient comme un rêve, presque irréel. J'en ai presque pleuré.

A place for all things meta regarding our small dark room. Suggestions, banners, board exposure plans, they go here. 
Be not afraid to comment.
So up until now, we've had a lot (lol) of off-topic posting, a lot a one-and-done "how do I make game tho" posts in various threads, especially the meta and progress threads. This is now the new dumping ground for those posts. Do try to put some effort into your posts though, you'll get more responses and won't have to face the wrath of jacked Carmack and his dragon dildo sword+2 that way.

In this thread i will try to post stuff i recall vividly from the days i used airports in vacation days, duty-free shops and high-end malls, then try to beef it with some product context. 
The days when wide reflective corridors smelled like expensive perfume and booze, when cigarette ads where overlooking everyone sitting down reading fancy fashion & travel magazines filled with nothing but ads.

So, basically a thread for discovering and studying advertising trends and sometimes a bit of /fa/shion due to the curiosity of the brands behind some products, or also using it as a tool to promote an otherwise not-attractive thing. In my case i will focus mostly on fragrance products but there will be notable exceptions.

I'm just disappointed that it's often difficult to find quality versions of this stuff. Watching anything potato quality youtube or even DVD doesn't do justice to the footage, and you lose the experience of time travel if you can't see clear details.

The worst part about getting sick is how it fucks up your circadian rythm. After being bedridden for a day and a half I need to somehow get back in bed and get enough sleep to make it through work tomorrow. And with my luck going to work on five hours of sleep will just make me get sick again.
This is a thread for talking about music. Not necessarily sharing it. I never feel like I have an opportunity to talk about music.

I was listening to Vashti Bunyan in my car the other day, and it didn't sound as good as it usually does through my headphones, and I think it was the acoustics. In David Byrne's book he talks about that music used to be made to be listened to on front porches or in concert halls, then it was made to be listened to on sound systems. He then speculates that it will soon catch up to the present and be made to listen to in the unique acoustic environment of a headphone. I think that already happened by accident. Off the top of my head Vashti Bunyan and Nick Cave come to mind as musicians who flew under the radar until the headphone age, and while certainly the internet has played a major role in that, I think, moreso, it's that their ethereal vocals and strong melodies read with such a beautiful clarity through the acoustics of headphones, when played in a room it sounds muddy.
This is something I meant to write since some time, but now the impending doom of anon.cafe finally made me actually do this.

Originally this site was born as a tech demo after the demise of zchan, to modify jschan so it can run on multiple servers, for load balancing and maybe better ddos resistance. But the code never got merged upstream, so this site still runs a fork of jschan, originally on 3 servers, now on only two (and both of them at buyvm, so it's not much redundancy). On the other hand, zzzchan (probably the biggest imageboard running jschan) went with the original jschan and only using HTTP reverse proxies, so maybe this is overkill, after all. But anyway, whatever started as a tech demo pretty much stayed.
Which brings me to the current state of this site, it's pretty dead. There's /nep/, which is a copy of the old 8chan's /nep/, but at this point it pretty much functions only as an archive, it barely has any traffic. There's /quest/, it had some activity in the past, but now it has like 1 posts per week, one half-dead quest and a couple of dead ones. And /finance/, it also had some traffic initially, but now it's also pretty dead. I also have two BOs who never log in, so I have to delete the spam posted to their boards. (It's not that bad, filters catch most of the spam, and since the site is so dead, I can just open the global recent posts page, and delete any spam. I guess a dead site has some advantage too.)
In the past I didn't have any instructions on how to get a new board, because, to be honest, I didn't want to attract a lot of attention. I have better shit to do than dealing with courts and getting raided just because some anon said something on my site, or dealing with butthurt faggots ddosing my site. This site is not under cuckflare, and I'd very much like to keep it that way. On the other hand my gatekeeping was probably a bit too aggressive, even though I didn't do much (I think I only rejected one board). I guess just assuming that anons would randomly come here was a mistake. I'm also very bad at being proactive, if it's not already obvious.

So with that out of the way, I'd like to open an official board request thread. This is a free service, I reserve the right to reject any application or to shut down the service any time; don't expect 99.999999% uptime, blah blah blah. But unless you're one of those boards that are known to attract a lot of drama/shitstorm/lolcows/school shootings/etc, it's probably okay. I'd like to keep this site nice and comfy rather than having high PPH, there are better admins out there when it comes to dealing with that shit.
Required info:
>URI e.g. /uri/
>name of the board
>a short description/rationale
What is this board and why do you think I won't reject it, not the description that goes onto the board listing.
>planned rules
Include that global rules apply.
>what BO experience you have
>proof of you're the BO if you want a bunker/migrate an existing board
>user name and email
Alternatively you can send me a mail with login details if you do not want to publicly disclose it after your request is accepted. I'll generate you a password if you don't specify one.

I'd like to keep requests here, not in private emails if possible, like it happened sometimes in the past. If you're selected I'll send you an email, provided you have a mail server that doesn't block cock.li emails.
You'll receive your board unlisted and locked, it's your job to enable them when you're done with the setup. See >>200 for more info.
All styles welcome!

The alien thread has gotten me nostalgic for some good old fashioned conspiracy theories. Nowadays it's all just commodotized creepypastas and political shitflinging, which is fucking laaaaame.

What are some of your favorite conspiracy theories of the more obscure or classic varieties? Thought provoking, entertaining, or just weird.

The more schizo, convoluted, detailed, and overcomplicated the better.
Figured it would be good for others, I've been scratching my brain for hours (unhealthy?) trying to remember where the he'll I saw this scene: A man wearing a hat steps outside to smoke a cigarette, when a phantasmagorical hand appears from thin air and seems to bother his psyche...
The weirdest thing about this is that it felt like a silent film, but the elements like the man and his hat felt very noir-ish... And this might be the years of substance abuse catching up to me but I even remember the scene being purple tinted and the floating hand yellow tinted... Or was it the other way round! Am I losing it!
i wonder whether the wish is born out of otaku fiction, or the otaku fiction is made to entice our hidden wishes.

This is a thread to give some background on the illegal porn spam with links. I've seen some false guesses and claims going around on various boards so I figured it's time I made a dedicated thread to explain it.

I have been a janny, mod or admin on a few imageboards for the past 10 years, and casually post on many, including anon.cafe for the last 4 (although less so recently). Those who use a few different sites at once, especially slower/understaffed boards, will soon begin to notice patterns. Posts which look out of place. Identical posts which look out of place on two different sites. Drop a quote from it into a search engine and it's on twenty different imageboards!
It turns out there are a few spammers on imageboards, who go down a list of boards reposting the same post. A few years ago I made a bot to regularly check for new threads on imageboards and highlight any duplicates, documenting imageboard spam to find patterns and learn how to combat it.
There are a few different main categories of this spam. One is imageboard spam (or sometimes forums or D#scord chats), many of you will have seen recent posts from two news imageboards, just posting a link to their site and leaving. Political spam is also big (almost always either generic /pol/ tripe, Christian evangelism or actual schizophrenic psychosis), and it's worth noting that politics spam was especially big around 2020 so there will probably be a heap later this year. This is easy to spot on hobby boards, although it often blends in unnoticed on politics boards and random (/b/) boards, where they're often taken seriously, and sometimes those spammers choose to just repost only on the dozen /pol/ boards online. There are some other smaller classes of spam, but we're here to talk about the biggest spam category by far:

The CP spam is commercial spam. That's why they have links in them.
They hit any imageboard they can find. Even test sites with no users.
Different CP site owners have been doing this for at least 10 years, and probably ever since the internet went public.

This isn't news to people who have been around for a while, but for fresh users on political sites it's easy to jump to the conclusion that its one person (some cryptic 'pedoposter' character), or their designated scapegoat or feds trying to take their site down. But this was happening before /pol/ was even a board on 4chan, and it was happening on even harmless niche hobby imageboards (which is where I started jannying ten years ago, to help delete the hourly CP spam until the admin programmed a hacky countermeasure). And they don't just target imageboards. This is commercial spam. They target any blog comment section or unsecured forum they can discover. You can verify this yourself by checking where the same ad link appears in a search engine. There are commercial/freeware tools made by organized crime companies for discovering and spamming unsecured forums, which brag about being able to break most captchas (and even 10 years ago you could pay $1 per 1000 Google reCAPTCHA solves by real humans in poorer countries, all plugged into your bot via an API).

But there's an important point. The current ones aren't bot posting. These are humans, fresh custom-made captchas don't stop them. Simple post filters don't stop them ('post blocked, please try again' won't stop someone who is financially motivated). Anything that wouldn't stop you, won't stop them. And I say 'them' for good reason, you can verify both through basic linguistic forensics (typing styles, filename choices, filter evasion techniques, etc.) and by fingerprinting their user-agents that the same link is being posted by multiple spammers. Specifically, the current one with a child model on a purple background has the same link being posted by three distinct people, all from East Siberia and far North East Asia. They each have a list of target sites (some use imageboard lists like (historically) cc0's list or AllChans, others use custom-made spam lists with all kinds of websites on them, this can sometimes be confirmed by checking their HTTP referrers) and they go down the list, one by one, often clearly in alphabetical order, posting their garbage. They usually post on the first board they see, usually the first alphabetically or the most active/bumped board (which is why anons here correctly pointed out /comfy/ and /k/ were disproportionately targeted on anon.cafe), although they may also just have a certain arbitrary board saved (like lainchan's /zzz/, apparently), maybe because it got listed in a search first. I've seen cases where an imageboard has just locked their /a/ board due to constant spam and most of it disappeared (/a/ is first in alphabetical order, so on their homepage it was the first a spammer would click, so this wouldn't work on lynxchan/jschan's boardlist where they're ordered by activity).

It's also important to keep in mind that CP sites come and go, and along with it, different spammers. There have been particularly nasty ones in the past which posted full nudes, link in the image only so the post couldn't be text filtered, random filename, and either no text or text copied from other posts. Phash techniques could be a useful approach there, and the Junkuchan admin has mentioned in the Cloudflare thread that phash filtering has worked well for them. 

Keep in mind, while it's possible in rare cases there is some CP posting which is different to what most people and I am describing, you can very clearly tell when it's different, the main difference being that malicious posters aren't shilling a pedo scam website. I have seen malicious CP posting only once, where a /pol/ user raided a site with child nude modelling photos posted from purchased VPS servers (this was done during a mass raid after the victim imageboard was linked in an active 4chan /pol/ thread. This was back in 2021 or 2022). That stuff tends to be either posted without any text (neither in the body nor the image) or with a taunt.

Here is the monitoring system: https://xj9k.neocities.org/
It only monitors certain sites, and only OPs on some sites, so it's far from conclusive but it's demonstrative.
Spam posts are grouped together under one detection (semi-automatically, so there are some small mistakes), it's worth clicking [Expand] and seeing how they differ over time and attempt to evade filters, or how the same spammer makes similar but different spam posts.
Clicking the Tags button in the top corner (or clicking on a tag) will show you examples of the many categories of spam.
>ITT: Vidya of the 90's and 2000's


Keep it limited to the scope of this board, so basically Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Generation consoles only for now. 


For those who don't know what consoles are part of which generation, here's a quick rundown of the time frame we're talking about...


>Fourth Generation: SNES, Sega Genesis/Sega CD
>Fifth Generation: PS1, N64, Sega Saturn
>Sixth Generation: Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, OG Xbox


Discussion of games from the Seventh Generation consoles (PS3/Wii/Xbox 360) is allowed as well, but I'd like the thread to mainly focus on the 4th-6th console genererations since the 7th Gen era carried over into the 2010's and a lot of the games from that era onward obviously have far more in common with modern gaming than stuff from the 16-bit consoles or the PS1 and PS2 eras.


You can also discuss PC games and handhelds from 1990-2009 in this thread too, as well as arcade games from that time.


Any old-school gaming topic is fair game, whether it be the games themselves or old video gaming magazines, even wild rumors from that kid on the playground whose uncle worked at Nintendo...

I want to go back. When browsing the Web felt like going on an adventure.

What substitutes for "Wild West" these days? All I can think of are Tor, Zeronet, and the vast array of imageboards. Discord can feel pretty wild too sometimes, that is if you can find the right servers.

Post what you know, please.
Je n'arrive pas à comprendre les normets : Pourquoi travaillent-ils ? Pourquoi font-ils des enfants ?
My grandfather introduced me to "All in the Family" the other day, and I started binge watching it out of a sense of...how edgy it was.  Like this is something that would not come out today.
Some time ago, I was reading some old Usenet posts and thought, "Holy cow, how did this not get banned/deleted?"  Post/users like that would just immediately get scrubbed now.
I recently saw "Freddie Got Fingered" and was kind of amazed that that was in theaters.

Was the 90s more tolerant than today?  Was everything really this edgy?  Or is this some sort of weird survival bias?  The only thing today that I can think of that comes anywhere close is Southpark, but I'm not sure that counts because Southpark came out in the 90s.
This will be a personal challenge for me. I will draw every day for 100 days straight and post my progress here. I have failed myself time and time again by losing motivation or getting distracted and I am sick of it. I've reorganized my schedule and devoted two hours each day to drawing. If I miss even a single day, I want you to bully me (all three of you) mercilessly. Nothing short of death will stop be from finishing this.
Here I go.
What's your favorite album or song to chill out and listen to in its entirety?

So, what are some of your favorite memories of the old internet?


Can be websites, memes, events or any other aspect of the days of Web 1.0 and 1.5


For a quick reference, here's what I would define as Web 1.0 and Web 1.5


>Web 1.0: Usenet, Geocities and Angelfire, AOL (1991-2001)
>Web 1.5: Early YouTube, ED, 4chan in its "wild west" days, MySpace, YTMND, Newgrounds and the peak years of dA and Fanfiction.net (2001-2008)


You also had cross-generation stuff like GameFAQs and IMDB which are still around today, although sadly IMDB's infamous message boards are gone

C'est peut-être ridicule, mais j'aimerai vraiment vivre sans avoir besoin d'un smartphone.
Mais aujourd'hui, tout est tellement connectés que ça devient impossible de revenir à un simple téléphone à clapet, ou quoi que ce soit.
Que dès qu'il y'a un petit peu d'ennuie, hop ça ouvre TikTok ou Twitter.

 A lot of people tend to look down on television as disposable slop for nigger cattle, which a lot of it is. That said, I do enjoy seeing a story being told over a series of interconnected episodes as opposed to a single standalone feature. It allows a lot more time for the characters and plotline to develop, and makes a great vehicle for sci-fi/fantasy worldbuilding. 

The last show I saw was the Prisoner from 1968. It's about a retired glowie who gets kidnapped by a shadowy organization and made to live in a bizarre little town that runs on its own set of rules while they interrogate him about his past and play psychological tricks on him to get him to give away the information they want.

What are some other TV shows worth watching that make the most of what the medium has to offer?
Anyone else here /retro/maxxing? I've realized there is no point in denying myself happiness and gigacoziness and I may as well go all in on my retro obsessions even if it's a bit weird. 

I could list a bunch of things I'm doing but I'll start with just a couple here

>film photography
I have never bought a digital camera and I have stopped being a NEET lately. I have a small comfy job so I have some money and I buy rolls of film on occasion and I carry a late '90s point and shoot camera with me almost everywhere I go. It's fun and super comfy. I also started developing black and white film myself, at home.

>computer
I have set up my windows machine to look like windows 98 (not completely accurate but I've changed over the icons and use a classic theme, etc. 

And on my linux machine I have set it up to look like some versions of UNIX from the late 80s to early 90s.

And for my browser I use Pale Moon and I have it set to look like Netscape.

>music
I go to the record store sometimes and browse around and I have a collection of tapes, CDs, and records which I listen to. I have a lot of fun fixing cassette decks too.

I could go on but what have you guys been doing? You ARE living it, aren't you anons??
