...When sites used to have passwords hidden in their rules or something, and you would have to type it in your biography to ensure you've read the rules? :'D Haha! For some reason I just thought of that, and was wondering - what other dumb things did we do when creating sites back then?
I also remember also joining and following one of my very good RP friends who always had a like 400+ word post minimum - it was insane! I feel like it was actually closer to 500-600 but I can't remember exactly. That was back when I was really into wolf rps though. xD So....yeah. What other things do you remember?

this thread isnt about what i thought itd be about
I was at a site with a 400 word min just last year, so that's still a Thing. It's like the Worst Thing. I've seen like 800 word min reqs a few years ago, and thankfully these days the requirements tend to be either pretty low or nonexistent.
I hated looking up passwords btw. Such a waste of time. Didn't even guarantee you'd read the rules since lemme tell you I DIDN'T.

yeah i'm not sure if i ever read the rules, i'd just open the page, skip to the end to read "12. to prove you read these spiffy rules ;) please insert LOLADMINISTHEBESTEST or [INSIDE SITE JOKE #12] into your bio!"

crtl+f all the way.
but i hated it when there were like trick passwords i swear.
there was this site i was on and it was like 'password is this'
two rules later: 'the real password is this'
and then the last one was like 'highlight under this really TINY SPACE and that's the real password'

i still see sites hiding pws in their rules, actually. it just comes across as archaic.
Sites used to always ask your age and where your came from on their application, I remember.
some real life sites are wordy, but some not. it depends. I know a few animanga sites that have scary wordy cultures. like +1k posts all over the place.
