I was very active on the internet in the mid-to-late 2000s and I think that was the pinnacle. Before smartphones. Forums, IRC, Myspace, MSN, AIM, the early days of wikipedia, etc. Back when people would actually connect over the internet as humans instead of trying to game algorithms and become influencers. There will never be anything quite like it. The "yesterweb" is absolutely pitiful in comparison, though I sympathize with it.
