For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Hahaha I used to have a shirt from "Jinx" back when they were cool that said "I eat Nøøbs".

And "Play in your world. Get pwnd in mine."

Wouldn't be caught dead in those now. But haha it was amusing in ~2005.

It was a simpler time where a shirt that simply said "gamer" wouldn't get you socially sneered at.

Haha that reminds me of a shirt I had around '08/'09 that just said "Awesomesauce." I kind of miss the silly stuff like that and the shirts you mentioned. It really does seem like it was a simpler time :) Nowadays life is pwning me left and right!
