Relics of the Old Web
(feddit.uk)
Gather around for tales of the Beforetimes when everything seemed brighter and more optimistic, even if the websites were basic and often stupid and sometimes downright tasteless.
So come along all you jaded old greybeards and plucky young Internet archaeologists, share what you've found out there in the patched deserts of the Internet outside of the great walled cities of the Big Web.
I shall tell you a tale of the before times. When you wanted everyone to see what you were interested in or find something interesting, you had to upload everything on your web page. You would create your own web page, and that required an angelfire account or a geocities account, unless you had money and had someone else create a page for you. Everyone knew basic html because there was always that one kid that learned from their dad and we would swap lines of code to create better pages.
