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?
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
I got sent to some nutjob's site where he tells you all about the superior space technology NASA refuses to use called slingshotting the rockets into space. I say nutjob because most of his site is dedicated to conspiracy theories and holy shit it's still active he's even got a youtube now
More fun and innocent - Speculative biology! Hell yeah weird alien turtle dinosaurs! Actually pretty cool and I think still active? The illustrations are really neat
Also hilariously, I also found a site all about finding interesting web 1.0 pages which even links to what you've linked. It's also full of tips and tricks on how to recreate that web 1.0 jank on your own blog!
The nostalgia this brings me when I look at these pages and they are just straight to the point.
Sometimes I miss the old internet and web pages.
A Buckethead fan site for all your Buckethead news, theories, and fan art.
A haiku from the author:
when he plays it's like
the sounds of those dead chickens
coming through his hands
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.

Wow! Back to the 90/00's
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

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