Do you remember certain sites/apps that were popular and just seemed to vanish. Does anyone remember or used or even still uses the following:

MySpace

Bebo

MSN messenger

Skype

Ask Jeeves

Tumblr

If there are others you think of, add them to the list.

I never used it, but Friend's Reunited. Probably 20 years ago, someone set up a fake profile in my name and put my occupation down as a rent boy. I must have pissed someone off. Never did find out who set it up, but it actually amused me.

Ahhh limewire. Giving your computer more viruses than you can shake a stick at to find out it wasn't the song you wanted because someone can't label songs properly

I like that you didn't get wound up about it.

It made me smile too (sorry

Yep...someone wasn't happy with you or maybe they thought you could take a joke even of it was a bad one.

Myspace is still around and had a massive rehaul in 2011 although the value of software licensing (copyright) is worth more than the site itself. The chances there has been a website you have used that uses Myspace patient.

Spacehay is a copycat website of the old Myspace invented by 15 yo and currently has over 1 million active users.

I met my partner on Bebo and we chatted on MSN for ages! I used to love the little square webcam and the games you'd get on there.

"Faceparty!"

I got banned from there. They held a party at 3 mills studios in London, Doors opens at 9.30pm but they kept everyone out until gone midnight. I'd paid for my tickets with a credit card and did a chargeback and they banned me for life

Someone said prodigits! I'm shocked. Thought i was only one.

Its dead now, but at its hayday it was brill. Long before facebook and tinder. But great for getting laid.

Not sure why someone mentioned tumblr. It still exists and going well. Just got rid of the porn was the issue that killed down tumblr. But still healthy - I had an anon blog which at it's peak had over 100k followers!
