On the ol www.com I got it in 1996 I had seen it at a friend's but once it was hooked up I went to a Deicide (band) site that even for 96 was god awful and loaded slow as hell. Then I scoped out a chat site you had to hit the load on called The Park. People were dickheads online then but not as bad as the past 15 years lol. I loved mirc as well for trading songs. This was before Napster. |

I am 36 and am going to guess it was most likely on angelfire, geocities, tripod, or expage. For some reason, I still think about "The Palace" avatar chat as well.

WWF.com, of course. The page loaded a splash image advertising the then-upcoming Over The Edge 98 PPV.

I don't recall exactly, but something to do with wrestlers real names sticks out.

On a side note it's wild to me knowing some adults dont know a world without the internet. I'm a geezer into my 40s though.

It was probably WWF or WCW's website. I took a summer computer class in 1997, which was my first time on the internet. I remember specifically because it was during the run-up to SummerSlam and the preview of the show included a Sid/Vader match that never happened lol

Netscape's main site. They had links to help find general information like history, weather, sports, etc.
I used it to search for Simpsons stuff like soundbytes in .wav format.

When I was growing up, we got the internet in 1994. I got my first AOL account in 1997, and the big three websites for me were:
WWF.com
GameRevolution.com
CheatCC.com

Gah, I'm glad they got that domain name, otherwise I could see that ending badly. |

You know, that was probably mine too. Netscape was my first browser. I know dad set the home page to The Daily Bikini. Which, amongst a daily picture of a girl in a bikini had links to shit. |

I'm pretty sure it was the keyword "site" WWF had on AOL prior to them actually making a website.

If I can think back, it was probably the WWF on America Online. I vividly remember the trivia game.

I do remember wwf.com wanting your email to login. It was that sweet period of “never give your email to anyone” before give it everyone and never give it to anyone.
I wasn’t gonna give the family email away. So I used the one in WWF Magazine who it’s turns out was Russo.

As a kid I mostly used the Internet for WWF results, Gameshark codes, and Hey Arnold fanfics.

Technically it was Yahoo’s homepage, but that was the default browser. First think I searched was CAW’s for WWF Warzone. I remember one had a sexy sounding background music that freaked me out and my sister laughed at me.

It was a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan page on AOL in about 199
EDIT: For some reason dad left 11 year old me in charge of calling AOL and they just kept giving us free months
