  1. My Geocities Band! And given how hard we’ve been practicing, we would’ve been ready to release an album sometime in the 5700s!

  2. It kills me that the Internet Archive has been getting attacked. Please donate to them if you have the extra cash. They aren’t a big corporation, they don’t make some huge profit, it’s basically just a public service carried out by passionate archivists.

  3. The best age of the internet is passed and Google is completely crap these days. All that ever comes up is YouTube or shops.

  4. *reminisces about hanging out in the Ambrosia Software forums back in college*

    Ambrosia used to make and publish shareware utilities and games for Macintosh computers. They closed up shop and rehomed the company parrot, Hector, sometime around Apple’s introduction of the Mac OS app store.

  5. That old adage — Once on the internet, always on the internet — is sadly being proven wrong. It takes meaningful effort to preserve things.
