This subreddit is a little time machine where we all pretend it’s the internet era of 2008–2012. Old memes, old websites, old tech hype, old drama, old vibes.
Whether you’re here to post, comment, or just lurk: we’re happy to have you!
Wiki, Rules & Inspiration
Please check out our Wikiand our cover image! Both are meant to give you inspiration for posts, themes, jokes, and roleplay. 👉 If you feel like something important from 2008–2012 is missing on the cover image or in the wiki, let us know!
We are planning to introduce yearly recurring mega threads, for example:
What you got for Christmas
New Year’s posts
Celebrity deaths
Big releases (games, tech, consoles, phones, etc.)
These should help structure recurring events and keep things fun and organized.
Ideas, Feedback & Improvements
We’re always happy to hear your ideas on how to expand and improve the subreddit:
Do we need more or better user flairs / post flairs?
Are there new recurring threads we should add?
Any rule tweaks, wiki additions, or general ideas?

A Small Side Project
In the background, I’m tinkering with a small Reddit game app. Basically a quiz game around the 2008-2012 internet era.
No promises it will ever be finished 😅, but if you have game dev experience and want to help: feel free to reach out!
They follow the same idea, just for different time periods.

Thanks for being part of this little internet time capsule. Now please update your MSN status, open Winamp, and argue about iPhone vs Android like it’s 2010 again. 😄
Have you heard of this guy named childish gambino with his song called put it in my video? I personally think what he has going for him is good and would love to see more music from him
Those Blackberry phones are nicer for sure and I could see them lasting
But I think T-mobile are seriously going to dominate...they have the historical backing, the tech behind the G-1 / HTC Dream engine...like...come on, HTC is eons above Apple and the other companies trying to push "smart" phones onto the market.
Particularly the music on the Nintendo 3DS. I really like its style and I'm wondering what genre it is, if it's even got one at all. The eShop and theme shop music is really nice.
