Even better; no mumblegummer. Those were the days.

You arrived here in 2006.

I've been here since 2001.

Explain for the class how it is that you remember events before your time here.

Plus you can't spell worth a damn but we don't expect much of you.

.SWF files can still works in older browsers like IE 11 and earlier. I am unsure about Firefox or Chrome. I remember The Hamster Dance Song and AYBABTU, not any of the others. Does anyone remember when they were popular?

For historical reference, the first popular "All Your Base Are Belong to Us" parody, and most likely the first one at all, was uploaded to Newgrounds.com Feb 16, 2001 by "Bad_CRC" (WARNING, the site has NSFW content).

This was when Freerepublic was accesed on dial up modems using jury wiring to phone jacks. Yes, My dad, "the Widget", jury rigged stuff like that.

This was always one of my favorites. Though I remember the background music and narration being a little different back in the early 00s.

 * * * ASH ALERT* * *

OwenKellogg aka The "Newashman" aka ASH aka ReduxAsh aka at least five other screen names is a hoaxer who has been banned from posting to this forum. Not once, but many times. He will be banned again soon.

HE WILL, WHEN CHALLENGED, PRETEND INNOCENCE. His use of multiple aliases is, itself a hoax. He is an electronic crasher who is here AGAINST THE EXPRESS WISHES OF THE OWNER OF THIS FORUM.

Attempting to engage him in debate plays into his hands. He is here to create dissent and to disrupt the Free Republic. That is his pattern and the reason his posting privileges have been banned.

Please DO NOT respond in any way to him.

Netscape was where it was at back in the day. I don’t think they even had blocked sites in the beginning. You could access any sites out there.

One of my coworkers had the volume maxed out when she opened the Hamsterdance. If I had jumped any higher, I would have been stuck in the ceiling tiles.

I always liked this one: We Like The Moon

Never, ever gave a thought to visiting a Quiznos sub shop after watching their first commercial which completely creeped me out. Whoever came up with that commercial should have been fired.

I remember seeing CDs hung out as deterrents for crows up and down highway 101 when the first wineries were being put in. They apparently worked.
