Hey Facepunch, tell me some of the things you used or did before they became popular, edgy and cool among mere mortals.
Let me start off by saying how everyone thought I was weird for trying to get them to use Steam back in 2005. They said it will never become popular and that I'm just wasting my time with it.

Some people here will never know how fun the smartness system was

Smartness was the shit and weeded out a lot of the potential bad posters that we have to deal with today.
I played Minecraft in 2009 before it had over 2000 players.
I used YouTube, Facebook, Steam and Skype before they became the largest socially acceptable tools for their purposes.
I liked Breaking Bad before it became big in the UK.
I played DayZ before it became popular.
i have like 400 hipster points now
i dont think its ever been cool to browse facepunch
i played a lot of monster hunter when MHFU came out on the psp
i guess it goes well to say that i played lots of monster hunter before people like dodger and game grumps played it
i would say dark souls, but i suppose you could say that after the PC release was when it became "mainstream"
i listened to the glitch mob when they were extremely unpopular and unnknown
i saw gangnam style back when it had about 50,000 views
I enjoy finding obscure bands and never sharing them.
the sweet taste of satisfaction when they never get an answer.
also my dad had neutral milk hotel and i listened to them before anyone on /mu/ or ever heard them who was born around the same time as me
I played minecraft before indev and early survival. could only make 3 blocks back then. cobble, dirt and planks, as well as a cute little red flower :v:
I played Warframe before it was cool
I played Amnesia before it was cool
I used Steam before it was cool (the one I have now is my 3rd or 4th account)

I had some Bitcoins back when they were only $5 a coin.
RuneScape member since 2001 and proud of it.
my blockland ID was 10106
I had Google + like the day it came out and used it once
I played Minecraft when it was only creative
I played Club Penguin within the first 3 years of it's release.

in my opinion, half the fun of music is talking to other people about it. i've never seen the point of trying to keep something obscure.
I read up wikipedia a lot before it gained widespread notoriety. Was a nice time in school, everyone amazed at how smart I was about almost everything.
i still play cs 1.6 on occasion
I was one of the first twenty viewers on Youtube to watch Idiots of Garrys Mod 2.
I made my YouTube account in 2006 when I was ten years old.

yeah i don't think G+ counts because it's still not cool
I beta tested a lot of MMOs that are now popular (and very shitty)

Pretty much both of these. Too bad I didn't get into FP until a few years after.

TF2 on release, before all the transactions/F2P.
i set my birth date on fp back in 06 or something and at the time it was humorous because it was implausible, but now it looks somewhat believable (ignoring the join date) and i can't change it any more
poop
Time really does fly though, I still consider myself a relatively new member of the forum until I look at my join date.

The smartness system still lives on, as a lot of people still use capitalization and punctuation. One of the legacies.
I miss the ludicrous amounts of bans. Concentration Punch
I remember when the furry forum existed.
