When did you join the internet?

[Aiden]

When did you make your first account?

I think mine would of been my MSN account in 2007 - 2008. I can't find my start up date but I join it was in that time.

[Brad]

Probably Facebook back in 2005

[Nick]

Probably in 2008

[wixard]

when I was like 6, so 1998

[-:Undertaker:-]

I can't remember but we had it pretty early as my Dad works in computers.

[dbgtz]

Does Habbo in 2001 count? If not, it'll be Habbo or Hotmail in like 2005/2006, followed by good ol' piczo.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm going to give it a guess and to between 2002-2004. I know I was using Habbox and so on in 2004 but I don't know if I had internet access at home before then.

[Absently]

Around 2004

[Kardan]

2001 we first had internet.

[Zak]

I remember our dial-up internet connection. Those were the days ;)

[Chris]

I would say it was around 2005 but it could have been a bit before that.

[Red]

Erm i started using the internet around 2001 but I can remember making my first hotmail at the end of 2003 at town library lmao.

[Phil]

Back when I was around 8-9 and my cousin introduced me to Habbo and I remember we had dial up and it cost a bomb and was so slow. My sister and I were allowed a half hour on Habbo every night and it normally took about ten minutes to load on our connection :P

[Shockwave.2CC]

I first joined the internet from my house late 2007

I first went on the internet between 2004-2005

[scottish]

2000 or before

[Mikey]

I think around 2001.

[Aiden]

Some of you are so old it's unreal lmfao.

[CrazyLemurs]

Probably same as a lot of you like 2005 with like proper old social platforms (no idea what they are today but meh) and maybe a lil before with non-internet things like PS1 games

[Jack!]

2004ish, We had Dial Up, Then we were some of the first to switch to NTL's Cable Broadband.

[Samantha]

I joined at home in 2007 (basically 2008 as it was the very back end of December). However, for first time on the Internet I'd still probably say 2007, but at the library :P.

[Ailurus]

I think I joined in 2002?

[Woutou]

Around, 2008 is when I got my first laptop :P

[FlyingJesus]

This is the most depressing thread to ever exist so I shall not let anyone get away from it happy err like 97/98 I guess ;|
before half of you were even accidental should-have-swallowed's in the nightmares of those once-happy folks who used to be "your parents"
or probably just Mum and Uncle Dave in some cases

[-Nick]

Like 2007 :/ haha


Hmm! Sent from this lovely phone :)

[buttons]

i have an aol account from 2001
so then I guess

[Jurv]

2005 maybe

[Circadia]

I remember dial-up internet back when I was about 4/5 but I don't think I actually used the internet till early 2007 when I made a hotmail account

[The Don]

I think it was around 2002-2003. Definitely at least 2003 as I got Hardware Online Arenas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware:_Online_Arena) when it was quite new which would've been the late 2002.

[zombies]

2004 or 2005

[Shar]

I think it was 2004 or earlier

[Daltron]

back in the dial up days but I can't remember the year

[Sloths]

Joined msn in 2005ish but was on few years before like 2003 with neopets and things

[Kyle]

2002 where all i would do is play miniclip and popcap games for 30mins until my parents wanted to make/take a phone call lol

[Firehorse]

We had dial up since about 1998, if not before that when we had a machine running goodness knows what OS (Windows 3.1 I would assume). Not that it made any difference to me personally, at that age I still thought by turning off the monitor you were turning off the computer...

I remember using the internet for things like the blue peter website in the very early days, and school teaching us how to use emails around the same time in 2002.

Every internet video seemed to use real player and you'd have to wait forever for it to buffer a super low res stream!

Remember this:

And when Windows Live Messenger used to look like this:

Until about 2009 every time the phone rang the internet would disconnect, thankfully I managed to persuade my mum to switch to cable!

[!x!dude!x!2]

like 2004-2005

[Hannah]

Long ago, back when you couldn't use the landline at the same time as the internet and the dial-up tune would sound.

[Ekelektra]

My first account I can link back to is 2006 so I probably started in 2005ish. My first internet memory was going to a fake site and downloading a trojan, I wasn't allowed on the internet for a bit after that.

What they still look like that WMP9 4eva

[!:random!:!]

2004-2005 for cbbc and cbeebies acc :P then 2007 for habbo :D

[Blinger]

1998 for me. No idea what I was doing. Dad was into computers, we had dial up back when 14.4k was a fast upgrade. Apparently it cost quite a few dollars more for the extra speed - oh dad! Had my first Hotmail account in '99, shano8 which doesn't work anymore and I lost/forgot the password after changing it from 123456. YOU GO BLINGER!

[Firehorse]

What they still look like that WMP9 4eva

Well you're right in saying those versions still look like that, but that's like me saying "remember what Toyotas looked like in 1960" and you saying that current ones still look like that, which isn't the case.

WMP 9 is not officially available anymore, nor is MSN. Might I add if you believe the current version of windows media player looks the same as WMP9 then you are most mistaken.

[FlyingJesus]

I still use WMP9 :P

[Firehorse]

I still use WMP9 :P

Time to upgrade your OS ;)

[Yawn]

neopets, my aol email and i used to email with my mates hahahahha
id say about 2002

[lawrawrrr]

No idea on an actual date but I know we got Windows 98 as soon as it came out and my dad was pretty into computers

I think I probably joined Neopets first, and although I don't think I can trace it, about 2002ish?


on phone xx

[Blinger]

Did anyone ever play the Nickelodeon mini games website? I used to love the Johnny Bravo game!

[myles]

i had an msn account back in early 2000's and i used to go on internet a lot before tht
