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.

When reading a long text, disconnect from the internet as soon as it has loaded so you don't pay for the time you spend reading.

I remember doing that to read and write my answers in forums. Then someone had already posted the same comment or a better version.
