It always looked like you would catch at least one Trojan per download, but it’s the real deal if you are looking for cracked game.exes or at least it was back in the day.
Thanks for the memory. I like how there is now a series of pre stripped strippers dancing on the right edge of the screen.
I was going to say https://apatheticagnostic.org/ but some unapathetic asshole updated it.
Home stat runner dot net! It’s dot commmmmm!
It’s not flash anymore and you have to start the music yourself but it’s pretty literally the exact thing it was in like 2000.
I have a few niche sites. Many of them are dying slowly because, well us denizens are dying one by one. And there is very few that will replace us. The times have changed. Few care about old steam engines anymore. And 3D printing has supplanted machining metal in home work shops. And 3D CAD has replaced the drafting board.
[https://www.modelenginemaker.com/] is an example were us old machinists design and build model steam engines just because.
I only took up manual machining this year, there are a few of us young ones, but not heaps.
https://epguides.com/ is what I’ve been using for about that long to get a list of episodes that are available for various shows.
Not sure how old this website is, but judging by the design, it looks older than me.
It’s has transcriptions of all my favourite TV series!
Super niche, but water-data.com
It lists current and historical water levels, inflow and outflow data for all of the reservoirs in the upper Colorado River basin. It’s all html tables and graphs.
I’v been watching it for at least 20 years and I don’t think it has ever changed.
20 years with no change? Damn, I thought the Colorado River flowed faster than that. I’ve been lied to!
🤣 yeah no format change. Got me.
The data changes every day. And it’s been getting more and more depressing.
Not sure how long its been around, but you can learn about the dangers of Dihydrogen Monoxide here:
The esthetics are +20 years old. While dihydrogen monoxide has been a staple in my dad humor repertoire, this site is a banger.
BTW, the post was downvoted. My guess is that it was one of the dyhidrogen oxide cartels.
This is what the Internet looked like in 2004. I love this site for both it’s stated purpose, and the nostalgia of the design. Click it if you dare.
I love the energy from this site.
When I started learning webdev this was all too close to home.
It’s where I got my cool sigs! Also, it looks pretty much identical to how I remember it. I only found out it was still running a month or two ago.
What was this made with? I’ve seen a few old sites like this
I have no idea. Given its age, probably either hand coded or using a template / theme. It has a little bit of information about its creation at the bottom of the front page.
I’ve seen a few sites like this
Ding ding, here comes the shit mobile
I would rather die in a fire than be rescued by this hairy piece of shit
http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/LOCOLOCO/locoloco.htm
Most of Douglas Self is a time capsule to when the site was setup but the loco loco section has many of the most wild experimental locomotives you’ve never seen! Many are early iterations as nobody had yet figured out the meta for building a relatively efficient and successful steam locomotive but there’s also diesel and electric designs as well buried in there, as well as late steam ideas that tried to outcompete diesels
Like seriously, what the heck is up with these? (And yes, all had at least one example built!)
thx my neurotypical ass did NOT spend an hour on this.
Folks this is what the web looked like in 1995 (with popup wackamole on about 50% of every site
But this simple website is damn near perfect for it’s purpose
