I had a bulldozer one!
ah, the nostalgia!
I’m gonna crosspost this to !retronet@lemmy.sdf.org which is a community for ‘vintage internet’ discussions, and this is perfect
I tried to get into neocities like six months ago but I just don’t have the want to customize my own site with html from scratch anymore like when I was younger. I like that it exists still but there’s something to be said of modernization when you have limited time each day with other life responsibilities. That being said I hope it takes off!
Perhaps a kid will enjoy this today!
Old person here to grump about people who refer to the Web as “the Internet.”
Some of us were online long before websites.
I have been using Neocities for years now. Because sometimes a simple static Website with a few images and some javascript just does the job.
This sent me down a rabbit hole!
That’s fantastic. So much great content was lost when the original sites went down
It wasn’t lost per se, Geocities was archived and you can download a torrent: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/GeoCities
That page links to a web-accessible archive here: https://geocities.restorativland.org/
In fact there’s some interesting 90s queer history here: https://geocities.restorativland.org/WestHollywood/Castro/ (beware that it contains some NSFW images if you scroll for a while)
It’s nice to know my Resident Evil 2 fan page lives on somwhere.
