The public internet has been around about three times longer than what you're calling "old".
Geocities, Angelfire, and dialup modems are the "old" internet.

BBS's would like a word

No kidding. Wardialing with my C64 and a 300 baud modem was the shit in the mid 80s.

I think bbs is considered pre-internet. Or maybe alternate and separate to the internet since you would dial directly to them. To my understanding internet didnt really have public access until the late 80's/early 90s.
Im 38 so i wasnt really there, just my understanding

I used ftp, Archie, and gopher in college. I even had a paper book called “The Internet Yellow Pages” before search engines were a thing.

I miss IRC
-
IRC is still very much around.

Not in the way it used to be though. I guess what I really miss is finding matches for counterstrike and stuff using IRC, it felt properly community based instead of designed to extract maximum money.
