The place where kids went behind their parent’s backs to spend all of their phone credit on Star Dollars, talk to strangers and “solicit roses from hot guys“.
This website was a cesspit but in the most hilarious way possible. 60% of the people on it shouldn’t have been allowed to use the internet.
Buying Star Dollars with phone credit was a very addictive and expensive hobby but there was nothing better than having a well decorated house on Stardoll.

For a lot of younger people, Club Penguin was their introduction to playing online games. They got to bypass the Googling of ‘free online games’ because someone in their class said “Go to www.clubpenguin.com”. It has since shut down. RIP.
3. Runescape

There were some people who took this game very seriously, but the vast majority of users were there to beg for money by saying “send me 5k pls” anywhere that it was busy. There were also plenty of people using Runescape to try and find love, with a similar tactic. “Be my gf and I’ll send you 5k.”
4. Stick RPG

This was like an extremely slow-paced stick man version of Grand Theft Auto with a tiny map that would kill you if you walked off of it. As an adult it’s pretty boring, but as a child it was a game that you could easily put a few hours into.

Some people regularly checked in with XGen with eager anticipation for the sequel ‘Stick RPG 2′. When it eventually came out and was not quite as memorable.
5. Habbo Hotel

This game was another one that tricked kids into wasting a lot of money decorating their homes and buying stupid virtual clothes. Everyone wanted to be in Habbo Club… it was the ‘height of luxury within Habbo‘. Nothing more luxurious than staring at a tiny avatar shaped like a Lego man on your computer screen until the early hours of the morning.
6. Bin Weevils
This was the online game equivalent of making friends with English kids at the pool on holidays. Unlike the rest of these games, Bin Weevils had a huge concentration of British players.
The one similarity Bin Weevils had to other online games, was that the majority of Bin Weevils players were standing around in public places begging people to be their ‘gf’.
7. Crazy Cabbie
An off-brand version of Crazy Taxi, this game was a staple of computer classes across Ireland, because it was one of the few websites that schools hadn’t blocked students from accessing.
8. Stick Arena

XGen stick man games really had their day back in 2007. If you were feeling too aggressive to play Stick RPG, you could go swing a sledgehammer at the stick man head of some stranger online.
