That was a wild ride.... Top two: Heavens Gate and a furbo autopsy.

I remember when Heaven’s Gate was first on the news. I went online and looked at their site. You have to give them credit for maintaining it for all these years.

This is so cool. Why am I legitimately this excited for old ass webpages?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

They're a piece of living history. It's like being able to walk into a ren fair or look on a piece of art in it's creation

The internet has changed so much, I automatically assumed this was a furry website when I landed there http://diabellalovescats.com/

Tbh I am still not 100% convinced that it is not.

A site "Last revised: August 16, 1995" that's still intact and accessible. Looks like something straight out of geocities http://www.fluffy.com/fluffy/Fluffyhome.html

Wonder what Cathy or her sons are doing nowadays

The first hit was a txt page with a list of TEXT emoji and explanations... I should had seen that page 20 years ago and sent it to my dad.

This looks like a 15 year old girl's personal Backstreet Boys shrine website from 1997 and it's amazing

I wonder if all the Geocities sites are still up. I tried searching for the one I made when I was about 16. I called it Eric’s World. Cringe I know but still would be neat to see it at 45.
