You know what happened on the 6th of august 20 years ago?
Well, lots of things.. the trees grew taller, people were born, people died etc.
However, in more relevant news this dude:
using one of these:
Basically created the hive of porn and villainy we know as the world wide web by...well, by creating it. Obviously a lot of work went into it beforehand (developing the first web server and browser for example), but 6th August 1991 marks the launch of the worlds first web page which is preserved for historical interest here:
http://www.w3.org/History/19921103-hypertext/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
You can read more about this seminal moment in human development on wikipedia here and here but for now lets reminisce about web pages of old, imagine what the world would be like without the wibbly wobbly web and generally loft a glass aloft to the man who made it all possible.
(also, this is my first thread, please be gentle)

Somewhere between 06 and 09, the web got its shit together and started looking like something prettier than a disused litter box.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
Remember, when searching it is important to use the vaguest, least-specific terms possible. The goal is to get the most results.
Ham: 301 million
Wizard: 206 million
the letter a: 25.7 billion

I care not about your wants, good sir!
I care only about thread title accuracy, by which you have failed!
I demand you rectify this at once.
I want to be in a special cool guy club. So we can be snobby and elitist about our old age and many many years of doing nothing benefiting society.
The BBS Gentleman's Club.
I can remember AOL 2.0... I don't know when that was out.

Yeah, BBS porn was out there.
thank you campion
hahahahahahaha
And thats how lostwords found his way to us.
"I'm searching yahoo and webcrawler! This is the future!!!"
Which allowed him to IM people on AOL and boot them offline.
He also impersonated a female and tried to lure some guy in another state to a bar or something.
So all-in-all my Dad was a scumbag on the internet in the 90's and a horrible influence on me?
