Mine were going to websites to find out about Pokemon cheats. There were at least A THOUSAND pokemon fansites out there, and any one that had a sidebar was considered the cream of the crop.
Looking at NASA website.
My friend and I in middle school used to skip lunch to browse the internet at our school's computer lab
Actually, I remember using the internet even sooner in 5th grade. The first web browser I used, Netscape! I don't remember what I browsed though.
Late bloomer - Win98 system, online activities consisted of chatting on a RP/Gaming community by the company 3DO, IRC downloadz, building craptastic websites.
>>101
Astronyomy picture of the day was great back in the days.
got internet back in 98, 99 maybe, i cannot remember. was what, 9 or 10.
use to use google to search for things, nothing specific, never used any forums or anything. Just anything I was interested in the time I would look up. lota science shit.
The first time I used a chat room was in 2006.
I don't use any of that stuff now. All i do is browse chans as anon.

Amen. That's the point of the internet.
First I remember was hanging out in the "Boys Only" chatroom on Prodigy, and raging at the fact that girls went there (I didn't understand why yet, lolol). After that came pokemon RP on AOL 3.0 (15 hours free!!!! omomgomomgomgomg), then EverQuest, then IRC.
My earliest site was a crappy video game link site. Then I had a Pokemon website (it even had a sidebar! Also had a MIDI that played in the background, that you could select.)
Fucked around in the late nineties as a kid, started growing some balls with the use of IRC and stuff, eventually found Something Awful and eventually followed the draft of the Internet until meeting a funny guy named moot and his website 4chan.
My father was in the chat room where the Soviet Union coup attempt was unveiled to the rest of the world. Pretty hardcore stuff if you ask me.
Pokemon cheats, and Neopets.
Using Netscape to search for Monkey Island walkthroughs with Altavista. Waiting for an hour to download a tiny video from the intro of Worms. Finding random chatrooms and just talking shit.
Another youngin' here, learned my way through the internet first from Digimon fan sites (whatever shit i needed for pokemon i'd just use a strategy guide because it never occurred to me that online walkthroughs existed) and DBZ spoilers or whatever sites on a 56k modem in 2001.
