    It’s always weird to read how people used to talk on the internet. 09’ wasn’t that long ago, but the wording and conversation on this post just feels slightly off. It’s all a little more polite and toned down, less dramatic, but also more playful? I don’t know exactly how to put it into words, but reading older forum conversations makes me feel nostalgic for something I frankly never really experienced.

      I think it was a lot more raw and much less polished (disregarding that fact that this was 4chan). People were simply more excited to be online and sharing whatever it was they were talking about, rather than crafting a personality image
