Yep. In this thread, explain your life's situation in April 2004, ten years ago today.

As for me, I was in high school, 11th grade, still living in rural Michigan with my parents and their dialup. I hadn't had my first job yet.

I was 16 years old, would turn 17 in July.

And I was pissed off at the entire world, a seething ball of anger -_-

2004? I was 11, and just big trouble in school. I beat up others every day and am just about to get expelled.

Actually, I daydream about a better world every day. Shrug...

April 2004... I was 13, I guess it was my last year at the town's public middle school, and I was getting ready to shift over to the high school... my high school situation is somewhat interesting in retrospect

On internet we had either DSL or cable at that point, I believe...

I didn't get broadband until 2005, when I moved out of Redneckistan. There was no cable or DSL for a bunch of spread-out hicks.

I also almost got expelled once, in 2002, for suicide and other threats.

I was 20 years old at the time, in community college... also worked at a teen clothing store at the time, and ran a small Roller Coaster Tycoon website and a small Sonic ROM hack site ^,^ Parents were going through a hard time, and I turned to the Internet and real-life friends and Wicca ^^;;

I don't think I had a site of my own in April 2004. For a while I had a King's Quest site with really bad fanfiction on it, and before that, I had a small Mario hacking site.

Not only did I have a website in 2004, it still exists! =o

"I started coding the site today. Joy doth about, especially considering the site will become nothing anyway."

That actually became true, haha.

I fiddled around with websites but never did anything serious to this date. I use my server to transfer files and show stuff to people.

As I recall, the main reason for that site's existence was because I was paranoid that Angelfire would discover that all the .txt files on my account weren't actually .txt files, and there was no other legitimate purpose there

I had an Invision Board (a really old version, I believe a 1.2 or 1.3), but it got attacked and then was later closed... before that, I had a ProBoard or something for my Sonic hacks and later a phpBB ^.~

phpBB was pretty much hacked every day. If you used that, you could see the board exploding within days.

I briefly had an Acmlmboard- unfortunately, no backups of it survive except for the main page and the memberlist somewhere on the internet archive, with a hideous green theme.

I had an AcmlmBoard briefly in 2003, then my host killed it.

And then there's "The Left Mouse Button", my alternative to Jul in 2010-2011...

I was 7 years old. My life was terrible back then but I seemed to have coped and got passed it.

I was working at an awful place when the work hours were just hectic! I didn't even know what days were coming anymore. I was 29 years old, I bumped into Acmlm's board & discovered ROM Hacking and then Tek Hacks... ^_^

Was GoogieToon's alive back then, or is that something you've been doing recently? (Recently being like 2009ish)
