What's your favorite Web 1.0 memory? (beehaw.org)

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.

My memory probably is more of early Web 2; I was born in the late 90s, so I suppose I missed the really wild west days.

Flash games were great though; it seemed like every company that even slightly catered to people under 30 had a website with some game on it.

Yeah, some of them were baller and now lost to time. Like Nickelodeon had an Avatar: The Last Airbender 3D penguin sledding game, man I would love to be able to play that again
