Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?
I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.
Starfield backgrounds were obligatory! I remember spending hours in Paint Shop Pro’s pattern mode trying to make sure my white and grey pixels repeated nicely: not so busy as to look like noise, but dense and random enough to hide the repetition.
