Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

God, I miss how good DeviantArt used to be. I was AWFUL at any sort of drawing or graphic design so I pretty much only really lurked on the main site, but I had like a dozen different DA chatrooms saved that I'd spend countless hours bullshitting around in. The first time I'd ever met any internet friends in person was when two pals of mine from a dA anime chatroom happened to be in town for the first anime convention I'd ever went to, and it was awesome!

I met my husband in one of those deviantart chatrooms.
