Yep. Networked Doom games over a local intranet (especially if each person used 3 computers), MUDs, the forums back then were the best, no spam and no stalkers, almost no scams (and they were pretty easy to see that they were a scam). What killed it? IMO - AOL allowed any yahoo onto the web and then Windows had Internet Explorer which made it easy enough for any brainelss yahoo to get onto the internet.
I dream of those days then wake up depressed that they are gone.
