It was incredibly easy to get banned there as many with the ability to ban were as petty and spiteful as the average SA poster. I had seen accounts get banned for something as little as not using punctuation and paragraphs(I'm not exaggerating).
I had my icon changed several times by other users to mock me on a regular basis
Why do I remember this as good internet
because behaviour like this usually kept stupidity low, or paid for server costs by exploiting idiots with money to blow, instead of selling out to huge corporations.
Didn't you have to pay real money to change icons? So that was invested mocking instead of the low-committed, low-effort mockings of today.
