Those South Park wrestlers took me back, I used to have hundreds of those saved on my old computer. I remember looking up the power levels of the DBZ characters and trying to find out who was the strongest and also finding animated gifs of them doing their special moves. I have fond memories of downloading Winamp skins, going to Stickdeath.com and watching The Steven Seagal Show as well.

lol, Moms used to be pissed. I tried calling you like 8x. That banner wasn't going NOWHERE.

My mom canceled the AOL subscription, I was dying to go into a chat room. Had me in the MSN chats like...'whats good...'

It wasn't my first memory but I remember going to my friends house and getting into a chat room roasting ppl who "knew" B2K and talking about selling bootleg Grandma'sGW dvd's, dude from barbershop, and laughing so hard then after getting kick off, rushing to his dad's account to erase the e-mail

Way back in 1994 when I was in high school. Had to telnet into the server using a 9600 baud modem. I remember when we upgraded to 14.4k it was so great 

. Everything was text back then including bulletin boards, websites, etc.
I remember the first time I got Netscape. All the websites would have a generic grey background with blue and purple links and cheesy small little graphics.

Using HotBot to search for the finishing moves for Mortal Kombat 2 for my SNES.
Checking out the overpriced kicks on VintageUSA and the upcoming ones on NikePark.
