Wow. Here's a gem of an old website that somehow still exists out there.

#FunFact about #Neopets:

Neopets.com is vulnerable to the #Y2K38 bug because it uses ancient #PHP and #MySQL.

Finally time to release that PHP website hit counter I wrote for my retro site after freewebsitehitcounters went down. A graphical hit counter with infinite customization: GTTFCount codeberg.org/Chasnah/gttfcount

We explored colors, an amazing Diddy Kong Racing fan site, Family Guy fan content, Homestar's new cartoon, and more!

Celebrate my tomorrow at 6PM Central with a 90s Retro Website livestream!!

youtube.com/live/ZsfwMLCAhuo

These are my favorite streams tbh, we just load up a bunch of real, old, and frankly real-old websites that are funny, famous, weird, or just fascinating!

Speaking of naming problems:

Help me name my segment on my channel

We literally just load up ~90s era websites and basically laugh at them but it's very wholesome and appreciative of the medium.

Retro Web Spelunking is my best idea so far

Love the not-new feeling of this site.
Didn't even bother with HTTPS either.
cluboftheknobs.com/home.html

Also note that home.html in link, they even have a landing page! (when going directly to root of domain). (I skipped that bc I know so many aren't even gonna click on the dang thing to enter and see more)

This was a fun watch.

I can't help but think that projects like Retro Gaiden and 199x.chat are almost like spiritual successors to the sort of culture & communities that arose within BBSes: decentralized, self-hosted, free from big tech influence.

Just found this epic channel! This was quite entertaining :doge_cool: Part of me really hates that I missed the golden age of BBS.

Fun find: marginalia-search.com/
it's a search engine designed to find niche things rather than what's most popular
* has filters for blogs, forums, smallweb, and it doesnt hide stuff just for being old
* really good for finding community made stuff and hobbyist stuff
* prioritises non commercial content
It's really a different use case entirely to things like google, but has so much more interesting content not just generic seo made articles

Good morning, fellow geekies with impeccable taste! Happy Thursday!

I love their HTTP-only website with its space-themed background, animated horizontal rule, visitor counter, and all the classic 90s Geocities Home Page vibes (It is missing "Built with Notepad" and "Download Netscape" buttons) thecybertronicspree.com/

People in #WebDev and #FrontEnd #Design for at least a few years will remember Icon Fonts. But are you old enough to remember #CSS sprite sheets?

an 88x31 pixel art button as often made on old webpages, by Bluey Louis. It features the words Zelda Zone and Tap-Tap The Princess, a lavender spikeball girl with a cute smile, bow, and a single anime fang

I keep having this seed of an idea of a web where people could have websites but in an ecosystem where commerce was not allowed or able to be removed/moderated.

I miss the early days of the where hobbiests had sites about things they were passionate about and despise the slow absorption of anything unique into walled gardens.

Maybe a federated of sites?

I don't know what it would look like but I yearn to see it.
