Certainly. Forums, IRC and personal websites made the 90s Internet more fun to explore than anything else we have today.
I had a group of 14 year old friends on a public IRC channel, before cat-fishing, bots and nonces became the norm. Met my first (real life) girlfriend there. I learned about the magic world of OSDev browsing webrings. So many personal websites of people talking about their micro OS. Countless forums for all the interests a teenage boy could ever desire.
The internet felt HUGE. No one could possibly see a thousandths of it in their lifetime. And then it started to shrink and shrink...
That wasn't at all the internet I had in the 90s. I know that part of it existed, but there were really great parts, too.
