    I would love to recover my old GeoCities page somehow. I even remember the neighbourhood it was in. It was all about how cool hockey, Godzilla, and Warcraft 2 is

      In hear you! Man did i fucked around. Made a website with no real info, because what could i tell the world als a 12-15 year old.

      Use notepad to write html. All different folders with home as the most important

      It had a counter how often the site was visited (it was mostly me)

      And the account name was .tk (?) because it was free

      It’s a dot org site, by the way. The dot com was malware at one point, so just be careful.

      Edit: the dot com seems to no longer be registered, so I guess you don’t have to be that careful anymore lol

    It saddens me that this is either meant to remind people of the way things were, or it teaches them a world they never knew.

    1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet. 2025 me realizes it’s just a digital version of a carnival scam. Hot singles in your area is just the ring toss game. Give them your money, and then you lose.

    The 90s were just factually a better time. Biggest controversy about our president at that time was that our president got blowjobs.

      Consensual blow jobs.

    TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.
