What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

I was taught to cite websites by using the date the page was updated. Now I'm lucky if web pages even have a date on them.

Oh, that one's easy! Just use the internet archivenevermind.

Either that, or the page says that it's been updated in the last month, but the content is about how to connect to the World Wide Web '(WWW)' with a free AOL floppy disc

You could always use the Page Information to get the Created and Last updated from the web server.

Oh, wait. All the pages are dynamically generated,.so both of those are dated now. 😥
