Now then, I haven't got the foggiest idea of when I left the internet and came back in again those particular brain cells must have gone out for walkabout. If any of you see 'em anywhere, please send them back.... hmm, it must have been 2-3 years since I left.
But come back I did, ready to try my luck again. Am I daft or what?
First thing to do was look & see what's happening in the wubbleyweb.
A few improvements were immediately apparent.
One I particularly liked was the appearance of some cheaper internet access providers.
Anything was better than paying the phone bills, lol. Omg, I still remember the shock of seeing exactly how much I had contributed to them.......
There were a few offering free access. Yay! That's just what I needed. hahaha, Goodbye internet bills.
I think it was called easysurf, eezysurf, summat like that. They didn't even ask for a joining fee.
Piggin marvellous ! Lemme at it ! hahaha.
There were a few hiccups now and again, but they settled down in a short time. Access was still over the phone, still excrutiatingly slow, but who cared about that?
It was Free ! Wahey !
I'm gonna stay on the net all day long, dadadada, dadadada.
There was just one teensy-weensy problem with that. Every time someone used the phone, I got cut off !
Damn, I need an extension.......
One extension later, this dude did some surfing
The amount of silly websites on there. Some on cheese, others on biscuits, some technical ones that went miles over my head, something called C, and C+. I think it was anyway, my eyes glazed over after the first few dozen words....
There's some beautiful sites in there, and quite a few less so.
Naughty sites galore kept popping up, and some were not to be discussed in public. I'm no prude, but I do have my limits.....
Brrrr. Move on
E-gold. Where's my passwords?
Gotcha. Oh heck, they still work !
Update everything, email, passwords, etc......
Not much change in here, where are the games?
Search Hyip. Hmm, there's a few more of these about. Ok
Search Hyip Forums. Ok, got a few of them saved, let's surf......
I tried a few of the older games I played last time, none survived, all were scammed....
Okey dokey. How about Hyip monitors?
Ooh, I say. There's a few more of these about, some with quite garish colour schemes, lol
Hmm, some of these monitors are advertising those ridiculously huge interest sites...
Stay away from those sites, if they're advertising them Programs, I don't want to know about them.
How many of these Hyip games are there, anyway? I can't keep track of all of these.....
The quest of looking for some 'decent' monitors was dwindling fast. Then I went back to the forums and noticed these signatures below the payments that people posted. Most led to more monitors just as bad as the ones i'd already seen. Hopeless.
Then I noticed one saying 'Paying Programs? Visit my blog'. What the hell's a blog?
Click.
Omg, these are a bit primitive compared to the flashy monitors I'd seen earlier.
Hmm, there's some more of these blogs in the links.....
Ooh, more then I thought....
Bookmark a few. Come back later.
Right then, How to put money in egold nowadays?
Plenty of options, Let's start with a few hundred for now.
Done.
Let the Games Begin !
Which ones though?
Decisions, decisions.....
Well, to cut a long story short it was much the same as the last period I had in here.
Win some, lose some, blah blah blah.....
Need more money putting in egold, Deposit. Done.
Right. There's a fair bit more money in there now. Bring on the next games, please.
More of the same. This see-saw of gaining and losing lasted for about 2 years. Average y'know?
More Monitors arriving, More Blogs. Some good ones, most were pretty bad.
I found out who were the more friendly blogs eventually, and started chatting to some of them.
They were much better than the monitors were, so I believed in them a little bit more.
Although I was also sent duff information from a few of them, so I started staying away from them.
There's plenty more arriving, It's just finding the better ones.
Cross the bad ones off the list. Find some better ones....
Hmm, some of these Bloggers aren't too bad you know.
Sometimes you have to take their ideas with a pinch of salt, but on the whole, they weren't a bad lot.....
Best to keep it restricted to Hyip discussion for now though.
There were plenty of the Spam emails arriving in my mailbox back then.
I blindly followed a few of them, but they didn't last very long. Learning every day...
Ignore them for now....
Hmm... I must go the shops, I need some bread and dripping, else I won't be eating tonight....
Heck, I need to shave first, can't go out in this state.
Heavens, when did I shave last?
This could be a 3 or 4 razor problem....
Back to the games.... Money's beginning to run low again...... Do I dare put some more in?
What's this?
omg, it's The End for now......
