Livejournal was the big thing back then. Then Friendster and MySpace came around and people got lazy writing about their lives and now vent through bulletins. Also, Make Out Club, Only Undies Club ..etc were some old school net working sites.
Pretty sure BNTL is the blog with the most hits out of all of em'.
www.bntl.co.uk best in terms of original content and guys who actually get out and do shit.
