Hey everyone.
The other day I was reminiscing about the internet in the 1990s. Eventually I got to thinking about the good ol' days of online communities and I remembered how popular MSN groups used to be. It was there that my internet addiction really took off. I was heavily involved in chatrooms and spent most of my free time roleplaying, debating, general discussion, and so on. It was awesome.
I remember there were many different roleplaying communities on MSN groups at the time. Some of them were absolutely huge. There was always something going on and we used to have some serious fun hanging out together online. I look back on those days very fondly.
I recall there were several Final Fantasy dedicated communities on MSN groups. I personally helped run one of the largest of them. FF7 Citadel was one of our rivals, however I never really got to know any of the people there. I recall one incident way back in 1998 or 1999 when one of our admins copied the page layout style that FF7 Citadel was using at the time. The FF7 Citadel admin got really mad and sent us an e-mail threatening to sue us. Good times.
I searched online to see if this place still existed and lo and behold, it does. Seeing this place, even though personally I had minimal interaction with it, really brought the memories flooding back. I searched for a few other communities I once knew but unfortunately they all seem to have faded away over time. It was nice to see this place is still active after all these years.
Is there anybody here who was around for those days? Any fond memories? I'd love to hear them.
This thread can be for general 1990s internet/MSN groups discussion I guess.
