UBB was peak comfy.

I loved those signatures. Thought they were so advanced for the time

Chads had signatures with hyperlinks stating "J Lo nude pics here!!!!!1", and then when you clicked on it you were notified that you were the 837th victim of his zombie army.

The internet used to have so much soul

maaan I used to spend my time playing runescape, crossfire, and making forum graphics for a probably dead gaming forum. I want to go back.

oh yeah lets just shut the discussion down, forcing people to start new threads because the last post was an arbitrary amount of time ago.
FUCK FORUMS AND FUCK YOU IF YOU SUPPORT THIS.

I think forums were okay as a kid but once I discovered Yas Forums I never looked back, there's always that one forum celebrity that gets away with being an ass. The one drive by poster, the mod that loves to abuse his power and the fags who use their post count as validation.

I still use winamp
I have it on all day

The fuck? I still use Winamp to this very day. What kinds of bloated music players do people even use nowadays?

The people on this forum are very rude. Every time I ask a question, someone calls me a faq.

The admin of a forum I used to go to in the oughties had "shut the fuck up" as his sig.
Still my favourite.

so what other kinds of forum posters were there?
>admin: head fag known for shitty rules and being inconsistent on rulings
>moderator(s): faglets
>forum celebrity: gets away with shit new people are banned for, contributes next to nothing to threads at best and at worst derails them
>wannabe celebrity: attempts to direct the spotlight towards them but typically just starts flamewars

>those people who put quotes from other people talking about them in a positive way in their sigs
you weren't one of those people, were you user?

DONG DONG BANNU
nobody said anything nice about me

>tfw I was once popular enough on a forum to have had four different people quoting my positively in their signatures simultaneously

fuck I meant ding dong goddamn.

Any chads remember xfire?

Insert witty quote here

the OG steam overlay and time tracking
one of my friends had like 1000 hours in some stupid Korean MMO and I remember thinking that was a lot at the time

>Picador does not engage other Warriors in direct combat. Instead, he uses well placed barbs to goad his adversary into charging while skillfully avoiding the appearance of being the provocateur. He thus guides his enraged target towards certain injury or defeat at the hands of a stronger Warrior. Once the fight has been set in motion Picador will retire to a discrete distance, always ready prod his lance into sensitive areas should the action begin to flag. HINT: Alert Warriors can readily spot Picador because, though he seldom takes a stand on controversial issues, he always seems to be near the fray.
Literally me. Nothin personnel

Faggots that still do this in steam profiles are embarrassing, no one cares about your IRC logs nigga.

But in all serious, this is the most prevalent archetype

imagine unironically drawing this shit

Yeah now it seems like everyone has at least a 1000 hours on CS/TF2/DOTA etc. Miss my old comfy prettied up IRC clients.

I switched from winamp to foobar like a decade ago, and I'm still using it. Zero bloat, works like a swiss clock.

looks like teamspeak

Those sigs were pure soul

It was in a way, but a lot of that was because people were much more open back then. Irony-posting was out, "heartfelt"-posting (aka Invader Zim emo faggots livejournaling) was in.

Forums were either super comfy, or totalitarian shitholes filled with circlejerks amongst the resident e-celebrities.
I kind of miss the comfier ones.

I miss the "just make the other guy's chat client ring loud as fuck" feature
also, smileys that make sound out of nowhere like the bat ones

So 4th April 2020? Is this one of those "i'll repost it in 5 years" thingies?

Before everything got material, simple colored and minimalistic, spherical, clear and gem-like interfaces were all the rage back in the day. Hell, Windows 7 was all about that, but it was already a thing with Windows XP Luna and Windows Media Player.
