GeoCities in 1995: Building a Home Page on the Internet
-
It was a better time back then
-
God I miss this time on the web
-
Neocities is now a thing if anyone wants to check it out
-
TimesSquare/Alley was the place to be for gaming news. And webrings were more useful than search engines.
-
May my first website be forever under construction.
-
In hear you! Man did i fucked around. Made a website with no real info, because what could i tell the world als a 12-15 year old.
Use notepad to write html. All different folders with home as the most important
It had a counter how often the site was visited (it was mostly me)
And the account name was .tk (?) because it was free
-
I remember tk domains being free, yep
-
Complete with gif of a construction sign thats animated for some reason.
-
Break out of frames!
-
It saddens me that this is either meant to remind people of the way things were, or it teaches them a world they never knew.
1995 me would have been excited to see what crazy stuff is on the 2025 internet. 2025 me realizes it's just a digital version of a carnival scam. Hot singles in your area is just the ring toss game. Give them your money, and then you lose.
The 90s were just factually a better time. Biggest controversy about our president at that time was that our president got blowjobs.
-
i was a sunset strip girlie!
until i went to tripod, at least.

Consensual blow jobs.

Memooorreiiieeesss of having dozens of angel fire accounts to get around their 25 mb limit running a very cool, very legit download site. My bros had all the latest dojin fighters from comiket.
-
Also was on the sunset strip!!
-
The "some reason" is that it was cool, modern, hip, and cutting edge.

And horrified at how it's done.
-
I would love to recover my old GeoCities page somehow. I even remember the neighbourhood it was in. It was all about how cool hockey, Godzilla, and Warcraft 2 is
-
It's a dot org site, by the way. The dot com was malware at one point, so just be careful.
Edit: the dot com seems to no longer be registered, so I guess you don't have to be that careful anymore lol
