The Internet is an interesting place. You can meet so many people and do so many things on it. For some, it is a place to talk with real life friends. For others, it is a place to meet new people (who you probably do not know online).
Assuming most of us have ventured to other places on the Internet (aside from just VMK and MyVMK) I think it would be cool to basically tell your Internet life. Start when you first started on the Internet until now.
For me, I originally started when I was really young just playing web games on websites like Kiddonet and similar websites. My first so called "community" I joined was the AOL Kids chat room. I am a huge fan of unscramble (where you have to unscramble a word given) and there was an AOL Kids chatroom that had unscramble 24/7. I used to play it all the time and eventually got really good. I met quite a few people there who were just as good, if not better than me.
I then moved on to a game called ToonTown (which I am sure most people here know of). I played that for a while even though there was very limited chatting making socialization difficult.
After ToonTown I moved on to a Baseball game. I played a game called Ultimate Baseball Online It was probably the most realistic online version of Baseball ever created. In UBO, you created a player and manually controlled that player. You were randomly put with a bunch of other players (when you created a player you chose what position you wanted to play) and would play a real baseball game.
After playing UBO, I moved on to a game everyone here obviously knows about, which is VMK. It was such a great game and I am glad to be able to replay it here
.
After VMK, I moved on to a Football/Soccer game called Power Soccer. Basically, you created a Soccer team and played against other user's teams (just like the Baseball game, you actually played the game).
I then moved on to a website that I spent quite a while on, called justin.tv If you don't know what that website is, it is a website where people can broadcast anything they want. I was a big fan of two broadcasters there, who I watched a lot (and met lots of people). I also had a group of friends who I was really close with who liked the Jonas Brothers.
After that I moved on to a website that I have been on for years now, called OMGPOP. I met so many amazing people there and am sad that it is basically closed now (you used to be able to access the website via a certain link, which still works, but the chat rooms are down). I still talk to some of my friends from OMGPOP and they are awesome.
That is/was my life on the internet. There were many other websites I was a member of but they were not as influential as the ones I listed.
So, what is/was your life on the internet? Where did you start, where are you now (if you are other places aside from MyVMK), and where were you in between?
This was a long post but I like talking about my internet journey, so...yeah.
