What would it take to successfully give the internet the same feel as it had in 2007? - Slim - Sep 25, 2019
Just a random thought that popped up in my head while at work. What would have to happen? Could this be done if everyone changed the way they conducted themselves online? Is there any way to make the internet "exciting" as it was initially again?
Anybody got any thoughts to add to this random thought? :)

Can you explain what you mean by "exciting" in 2007?

Get rid of all the streaming giants, bring back runescape like it really used to be when it had player base, and also the drinking hot feeling of moving to a hot as fuck country from a cold as fuck one. Also the feeling of no responsibility but game and school. That's 2007 for me.
That would do it for me lol.

I can't really explain it other than when I first used the internet it seemed like this big place (a sea), and now it just seems like a series of nodes or bubbles that I hop to/from.

Drop every internet connection speed to 56k dial up, and see how quickly the trolls die out realising it's not so easy to be a dick when things take longer to get to!

Hahaha you summed up the nostalgic portion of my thoughts regarding this post. I think in terms of reality though, I wonder if limiting everybody's leisure internet time would make it special. Not realistic in the slightest, but just a notion
I agree, I think all giants would have to split up into smaller parts.

We would need less people using it and less sensitivity.

It'd definitely root out the chancers and half assers!

Clubpenguin, Habbo, and Runescape all being popular again. And the overused songs everyone made in every YouTube video with them typing instructions out in notepad instead of commentary.
