As search engines died off and became better optimized, the internet became less of a crapshoot for information. Instead of having to go to DarrenBuu1984's DBZ Page on Geocities for info, there was now a reliable, consistent and findable source for information. It was less personslity driven and it wouldn't vanish because of some obscure internet feud. You also didn't need to parse through a webring or 100s of useless results. The internet was becoming reliable and more useable and more people got drawn in. And then our phones became computers. From a few pages back but I think a good analogy to this would be long distance driving in America both pre and post national highway system. Before we had the interstate there were tons of small towns with local flavor that survived on the fact that there'd be regular travelers passing through. Once we got the interstate those communities withered and died on the vine.

SniperWoreConverse posted:Anyone post about the goon who made a thread saying it was time to bring back the bull moose party? I wanna say this was like six years ago, hope and change were not panning out, a lot of people were getting displeased, but it wasn't insane mirror world yet, and some goon posted a thread in gbs. I'm still catching up on this thread and it seems like this was passed over. The guy you're thinking about is Brian Boyko I'd go into more detail but the goldmined thread is really everything you need.
