You are missing the main point, man. I am sure you never experience the internet in the 1990's or early 2000's. You must live in a very parochial place! You don't know anything about arts, films, music.

This website is one example. I like this website because there is something that is "HIS". He owns his individuality.

It is not just about information. It is about aesthetics! The fun of flaneuring! Surfing the internet for spontaneity!

That sort of guessing tends not to pan out very well around here. I used Mosaic under XWindow in 1993.

That is pretty cool. Do you have any websites that make you feel nostalgic for the past? Any interesting websites in 1990's and early 2000's as well?

I'm user #1483 on Slashdot. That still exists, and I hardly ever go there though. Before the Slashdot era, I don't remember having visited some particular site regularly to see updating content.

But, oh, I got one: http://suck.com. That stopped making new content in 2001, but existed for another 14 years. Now the domain seems to have been taken over.

I had a wonderful nostalgia trip when a friend shared this yesterday: http://www.ouverture-facile.com/start/

THIS is what the web USED to be...

This is really good parody.
