I didn't run in exactly the same internet circles that you did, but I do still crave the sense of discovery of the early web. A few months ago, I put together a list of "old web" on-ramps to sate the hunger.
Neocities is a big hub for weird web sites that aren't trying to make a buck. For me, that's the key. What's the motivation for this web site? Is someone trying to sell me something, or do they love this thing they're talking about so much, their enthusiasm has spilled out onto the internet?
Thank you for this! I have been plowing through your links throughout the day. I found some fantastic stuff and a rush of nostalgia.
Just read all the info on your link and this is mind blowing. I could spend hours just going through all the various links.
That's awesome to hear! I can identify because I did spend hours going through them all! 😅 It was really fun! Took me back to that time. The stuff is still out there… it's just hard to find because search engines don't care about it.
