![]() Still strange to see them around where I wouldn't expect, but then again the Internet was a mistake and probably is a huge contributor to mental illness in general. Not to blame the victims of course, they aren't the root cause of all these issues. And, of course, people like them are a huge contributing factor to why everything is going to hell lately. Speaking for myself I can say I am the way I am because I don't like the way the modern world is going, whereas for the mentally ill /sodomite crowd I can't pin down why they're prevalent in this niche given that it's exactly the modern state of society that enables and encourages their illnesses. I always found it strange about the trannies and various degenerates having kind of shared interests with me. ![]() There is one site that might be sort of what you're thinking of, Īnd I gotta say I swear I always find the kind of sites you're talking about, but I think I find them through wiby's random link function. I like organizing things by hand.ĭidn't think about making a favicon, I'd probably just use an icon of a floppy diskette or something. >Did you write the HTML for the blog pages by hand? Or did you use a tool to generate it?Īll by hand baby, I wouldn't have it any other way, at least not for that site. ![]() Thanks man I try to keep it simple there, I have changed the overall look plenty of times but the weather is getting warmer and I've been watching a lot of Magnum PI reruns so I changed the look to suit my mood haha. Not necessarily a bad thing, they just ruin it with their shitty personality and self presentation. Personally I think it's because these types of people tend to be super autistic, so they find enjoyment in peculiar tasks like writing a webpage by hand or using old clunky software/games. i'd really like to know why but that's for another topic >And having run into that culture plenty of times, I can tell you it's half furries and trannies. You hit the nail on the head, boomers are older than ever now and it's much more convenient for them to just spout their psychobabble on the facebook app where their boomer friends will see it. At the end of the day the small community stays true to itself much better than the big community. The average joe who made a killer website that's frequently updated is more likely to stick out and set an example than the trannyfag who made an empty page with patreon links. It's not a bad scenario, quantity is low and that makes quality stick out. The problem ones won't stay long because they need attention, and they can get it at much better places (read: github), so you're left with the quiet ones who for the most part are tolerable. That leaves autists like us and trannyfags. Practically speaking, no private individual in this day and age is gonna write HTML pages by hand, let alone with the sole purpose of documenting their thoughts. There is a revival, however it's very niche and small, And That's A Good Thing!™ ![]() If anyone is interested, a couple of big sites from then are still hosted more-or-less as they were:Īnyway, sorry for the spergy blog post about something most of you won't give a shit about, though to be fair spergy blog posts about things most people didn't give a shit about were also a big part of the 90's internet. Every so often I check to see if any of the other regulars have come back but it's only ever happened once, though I do still keep in contact with one guy I met back then. Having my childhood conversations still online is kind of nice, even if it is a bit (well, extremely) cringy to read them now. I liked Delphi Forums best and surprisingly the site - and some of the boards - still exist, though they're long dead. It was kind of the perfect hobby for the internet and I spent a lot of my teenage years reading rumours, downloading shitty MIDI files of wrestling themes (or, if you were really lucky, a WAV file taken directly from a TV show with the commentary edited out), writing and reading reviews of old shows (A lot of people tried doing this, mostly just copying the style and opinions of a guy named Scott Keith despite the fact that everyone claimed they hated him), participating in E-Feds run by highschoolers and of course posting on wrestling message boards. My primary memories of the old internet are wrestling based, like a lot of people I got hugely into it in the late 90's (in fact I only recently stopped watching altogether).
