Was it a curated Newgrounds/Albinoblacksheep/ebaums type site that 4Kids Entertainment operated?4kids.com flash game section and youtube, back when shit like peanutbutter jelly time and the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny was popular. I still remember my login for 4kids.com too...

Ah, cool. Even though we had it in the house, I never really had the opportunity to play around with CompuServe.Around 1998/99 my Dad got a new computer and a CompuServe subscription along with it. I can remember my sister and I setting up our usernames and email. A big Pokemon fan at the time, I chose "ninetales038" or something along those lines. A few days or maybe weeks later I got an email from someone with a pokemon related name, I think it was Poliwhirl-something. This was a total stranger and I can't remember what they said, but we emailed back and forth (presumably about pokemon) for a few weeks.
I remember the cool mom who ran my elementary school library's computer lab giving us a lesson with yahooligans, but I couldn't remember whether it was just a curated search engine or a fully sandboxed portal--I guess the tiddies answers that.I was an avid yahooligans user, but finding pokemon fansites through that search engine still had me landing on anime titties via webrings and links. Earliest memory, probably searching "triceratops" on regular Yahoo.
My earliest memory of the internet was when we first got access in 1995 with a 28.8kbps modem. I was 7 years old and mucking around with my older brother on the internet. We somehow found a really basic animation that went for about 5 seconds where a guy opens up a can of smoked fish and then smokes the fish.What's your earliest memory of the internet?
Here's mine. I was like, 11 or so and my parents were really against internet access, but I had to do research for some school project, I don't remember what, and we couldn't find books for it, no idea why. So, they let me use the internet to do the research. I had a little bit of an idea how to use the internet because I'd seen teachers use it, but it was really confusing at first. When I got the hang of it I remember being really amazed by how much easier it was to learn things, I could just click links within wikipedia and get even more information on a specific topic, or google something to find even more than that. I didn't have to ask a librarian to help me, or try to find a certain book, or ask the library to order a book then wait weeks for it to come in. All the information was just right there. It was really nice.
