This is fun, its too bad web 2.0 sucks so much.

That brings me memories... I used to have a Ranma 1/2 shrine in Tokyo/garden in 1996, that later was converted in 1997 into a Evangelion one that ripped Koutetsu no Girlfriend art.

Simpler times...

How do you make a website page these days like this? was it hard to make these back in the day? Man the masses were actually smart back then. Why does the internet feel so small now? I remember feeling like it was so much bigger and more of a adventure, and since everything was by word of mouth rather then getting updates on Japanese shit every hour, everything was more unknown.

>>13297168
It wasn't hard at all. You just learned a bit of HTML, marked up your page the way you wanted it, then FTP'd the result up to wherever geocities (or whoever) told you to. If you were lazy and had too much money on your hands, you bought a copy of Dreamweaver or Frontpage instead.

>>13297198
Thats still more than anyone can do nowadays.

I really want to make a website like this but not sure how. Do you have to pay to make a website these days?

>>13297213
Dreamweaver still good to make a website?

How do I stop java from being retarded and blocking eveything.
Fuck you I dont want to add hundreds of expceptions to the list

>>13297168
everythings about the biggest and most popular sites instead of digging through the masses to find a little site with probably <100 views a week thats actually worth something. not that thats exactly bad, but sites dont really come up a lot when mostly everyone just goes to twitter or something

So many Rayearth fans.

No. Just run Apache on your home computer and tell people your IP address, then leave it on all the time.

Or you could just throw it up on dropbox if you aren't using any sort of serverside code like PHP.

Every retro webpage needs to have:
1) A black background
2) Animated GIFs everywhere
3) At least one "Under construction" page
4) A guest book
5) A visitor counter
6) Frameset.
7) Dreamweaver WYSIWYG meta creator tag.

Oh mean, this faggot. Does he still draw shitty comics about stupid shit? Is his "for instance, penises" ad still there? I haven't had adblock off (long enough to check) in years.

Was everyone just straight up retarded back in the 90s?

>>13305872
Yes. Yes we were. I can make no excuses.

>>13305872
It's sincere.

The internet was freer and there was a lack of normies.

>>13305882
This. It was fucking stupid sure, but it was free of the cancers of surveillance, of corporations, of SJW bullshit, and it was great.

>>13306029
But videogame forums I remember were basically /v/ (without SJW threads though) .
Everyone shitposting defending their console, pc claiming to be the best race, sega vs nintendo shitposting wars ans sony fans saying they'd rather have long story heavy cutscenes than gameplay cartridge vs cd discussions.

>>13306042
Nothing bad about that.

Civility is for normies and faggots.

Be a man and defend your favorite piece of hobby!

Maya a shit.
Go fuck that military pilot chad and never come back piece of shit.

christ, i miss "web 1.0." i miss the simple layouts. i miss the cluttered and tacky designs. i miss stumbling onto some amazing site after just surfing for hours.

now that everyone is on the internet and things are always updated and busy and blogged and reblogged, etc. it's so hard finding little "quiet spaces" like these old sites. old internet was so quiet, like you were just exploring by yourself. the only thing i can think of now that has that atmosphere are dead forums.

>>13297168
back then it was really fun. It is probably me being older and less able to appreciate things now (I somehow feel like I just can't get excited like I did when I was younger).

I used to find all sorts of Ranma 1/2 sites, You're under arrest fansites that captured little rarities and made midi files of the theme songs.

Everything had a personal touch to it and more than anything the otaku sites had archives of things on them, I would sometimes stumble on a ftp filled with anime or manga and it was great, It is completely different now when all the manga and anime is so easily available.

Damn searching for old ftps does reveal a whole bunch of old site.
I just found a bunch of servers with old anime I haven't seen in ages.

Because it is smaller.

fucking normies

>>13311010
So true.

This makes me feel a bit sad. The future is never inevitable, though.

I believe this should answer your question:

It's partially 4chan's fault too. You don't have to go anywhere else to talk about anime. You don't have to go anywhere else to find out about new games. Torents, rapidshares, all were linked to you without having to go anywhere to search. Didn't need to look around for answers to a question, you could just wait for replies. Didn't have to browse around for porn or gore pics or dumb flash games when bored. Everything you want and need has always been right here.

Although I can't say 4chan doesn't help you discover lots of sites too.

Somehow the blog format became good enough for everything, so even personal websites have no kind of index, gallery, or curated information. It's so generic and linear.

Once every part of the internet becomes permeated with spies and censors, nerds will go back to using webrings and links over a world wide web to avoid having to use search engines and being put on various lists. You'll travel from mainstream looking normalfag-friendly sites to dark pages you can only find again if you bothered to bookmark them.

The best way to find old sites is to use google's range options and cache:
