Slenderman, The Rake and The SCP Foundation all started in this period.

The beginnings and -arguably- heyday of creepypastas. For me that period was my early-mid teens, 2008-2011 ish. For some it was the early 2000’s era, Linkin park lyrics in that little flavourtext area on your MSN or AIM chat window may bring back some memories, for others it was when Homestuck was in one of its “actually good” phases. An age where we were (even if peripherally) involved in “something”, some kind of fandom or niche in internet culture. I suppose for many of us who grew up in the internet era, we find one period particularly nostalgic or familiar. "It's captured a segment of the internet's imagination for 10 years, maybe I can help ramble about why?"
