      We used to read it as kids when we went over our internet quota for the week and it was the only thing that still loaded

        How old were you then? What was your internet quota? It’s so interesting to hear how different age groups or demographics interacted with the same content.

          For me in the mid 2000s we had satellite internet and I think the daily quota was like 200mb.

          A teenager, so early to mid 2000s. I can’t remember what the quota was other than a couple of dodgy limewire albums and computer aids. And dad getting pissed when we pretty much bricked his computer

      I read it a lot, but it feels like there hasn’t been new content in years, so I stopped visiting at some point.
