I can't even remember. It was dial-up, and I probably found my way to those sites for kids that were coming out around movies and kids TV stations.

The earliest things I can remember using the internet for were looking up cheats for video games, and Neopets, lol

Ha, using the internet to get pictures of Pokemon too. :D

Someone tried to get me to check out meatspin. Insisting it was a wonderful recipe site. I politely declined as I am a vegetarian.

Playing flash games on cartoon network and nickelodeon. Not long after, my uncle exposed me to newgrounds. Good times.

Looking for cheats, or downloading trackmania car mods I can't remember what came first.

Probably 1998, Apple donated a bunch of iMacs to my elementary school and that was the first time I had free access to the Internet before and after school. I remember learning about search engines in class (pre-Google - Altavista, Dogpile, and AskJeeves were the big ones), and I remember learning html and making a website as a group project in 5th grade. I also remember the stuff I shouldn't have been looking at, mainly FunnyJunk, lol. I got dial up at home in 1999 or so, and got into role playing forums and Gaia Online.
