Why would you ninja me on the very first post?! =(GothmogII said:http://www.homestarrunner.com/main4.html
Homestar, Strongbad and the rest of Free Country USA never got a proper send off. They've been standing in the snow in off season costumes for a year or so now with no updates, even just to say the site is on hiatus.
Still, I like visiting it on occasion for the pure nostalgia.
I left in '05 just after we formed the anti-fundamentalism guild that never did anything...Blargh McBlargh said:Ooh, almost forgot Vagabond's Quest [http://netdragons.com/games/vq1] a Java-based MUD/battle arena type RPG thingy. To be honest, by the end of its life it was more like a glorified chatbox, as barely anyone really played the game other than kinda messing around.
Oh man, that place turned to such shit after '06...newwiseman said:gaiaonline.com
I just out grew the target audience, as did everyone else I knew there.
Yet I still stuck around for almost 5 more years. -_-
I think the Space Jam site had a thing on Reddit 'recently' (where recently means anytime in the past year, so not really all that recent). I remember growing up people were complaining about the 'flash' (sometimes defined as Macromedia Flash before it was owned by Adobe) and how it effected the substance. Thing is though, to this day I only really remember the flashy sites, even if only for how website should never ever look. I do mourn the loss of Geocities though. So many early websites lost.Owyn_Merrilin said:I came across that site ages ago, either browsing wikipedia or doing a really deep search on Google for cool stuff on lower ranked sites. Anyway, that's actually one of the cooler remnants of web 1.0. It reminds me of just how much stuff died with geocities; I know there's an archive torrent floating around, but it's not the same; there was so much good information buried under the crap that it was a real disservice to history for Yahoo to get rid of it.j0frenzy said:I believe this might give you the nostalgic flashback you are looking for.SaneAmongInsane said:this begs the question... what is the oldest website on the net that hasn't been updated for sometime?
I'd love to see some of the websites from the mid-90s... remember how they all looked like shit?

Bit of a change in subject, but here's an example of what web 1.0 looked like when the designer wasn't going for flashy; it puts into perspective some of the complaints you'll find in old usenet posts about websites that focused so much on flash intros and the like that the text -- which at the time was regarded as the main attraction -- was harder to find.
This. Oh so much this. Spent many hours enjoying the crazy toons on this site. In fact, I might go and chack it out again now...Blargh McBlargh said:JoeCartoon.com
