Just face it, 07 was a shitty year for the internet.
Whoah, you've been thinking this out well. Nice, I agree man (:
Well I mean, this is the time when I actually thought the internet was legitimately funny, and that I could take part in the funny shenanigans. I think that the summer of 07 was the greatest time of my life.
It was the first time that I was actually able to socialize with people on the forums as if it were some sort of extended public email system. I remember I'd write out posts that were 1000 words long in response to somebody, and I'd get an equally long response.
As 4chan would have it stated: the internet had cancer. It did, but the users who stuck it out through those tough times still had fun. I don't think 07 should be forgotten, but I do think that there was a large stratification of good and bad.
