On: A Love Letter to Geocities Sites

[Eupraxias]

Good medicine! I hope there are scores of us who see this and feel the immediate inspiration to recreate our old freak sites.

In created one a few years ago dedicated to a video game I played as a child:

I had to use CSS to implement a <blink> equivalent.

That ad for the game, complete with a bored teenager. Perfection. I miss the 80's.

That camera with the stack of flashbulbs tho! Used to see that sort of thing at weddings and other family events all the time in the 80s.

[TedDoesntTalk → bartread]

Yes they were fun. Especially when your older brother wakes you up in the middle of the night by flashing one on your face.

I don’t remember them by the mid 80s. I remember them in the 70s and early 80s.

[bartread → TedDoesntTalk]

Yeah, that's true, they were definitely more of an early 80s thing. I certainly don't remember seeing anything like them later than primary school years.
