Hi
I have no idea what's going on in that pic and am not where I can look at the link that goes with it; seconding the pull.

Only has a tangential connection to the trope (the Internet); pull. The full strip
◊ has nothing to do with the trope.

The link just points to the webcomic's main page. Pull.

Any one frame of this comic
◊ should do the trick.
Which one do you like the most?
Personally, I like the third one.

Alrighty then!
Option A:
Option B:
Option C:
Option D:
B-D don't need captions, but I'm not opposed to giving them clever ones.
Personally, I prefer A for the page, and the source comic for B-D for ImageLinks.

13A probably works. the rest have way too small texts to read properly.

Option A (but try to get rid of the JPEG artifacts). The others rely too much text, which is also too small and difficult to read.

A is the best of the lot.
How exactly do any of those illustrate the trope? This isn't "what the internet used to be like"; this is "the internet used to be close-knit due to inaccessibility".
...Is this even a trope?
Not really. It's just defining the term. The actual trope is It's Popular, Now It Sucks!.

I don't think it really needs an image, then.

The images suggested are about the contrast of the post-boom 90s Internet to today's Internet, not about the Internet becoming widely adopted after it was exclusive to mainly college students.

That's not actually a trope either...
To be fair, the page doesn't clearly define what the concept is. It could be that, or it could be the internet's Early-Installment Weirdness before the mass influx of new users forced web developers to get serious. In which case, any of the suggestions work.

If we want to illustrate the Early-Installment Weirdness of the Web, then a screenshot of a '90s style webpage would work, if it can be fit into wikisize.

Unless I'm missing somwthing, the picture has literally nothing to do with the trope. Motion to pull?
