I miss the days of NewGrounds, Miniclip, and Kongregate.

I miss Flash games on browsers. Limewire. YouTube before influencers.

I miss the joy of StumbleUpon back when the web was exciting and unique.

Whenever I think of the good old days of the internet (like 2000-2009) I think of using stumbleupon and finding the best and most random stuff.

I miss the SomethingAwful forums from 2004

Ah, fuck I miss the goons, too. I still log in every couple of years or so. It's sort of like walking down a street you used to live on. It's all still familiar, but nothing is really the same.

I have a CD somewhere that I burned a few miniclip games onto. Also the combo number 5, which did NOT age well. (And was kinda unacceptable when it was new)
