Parts of my old AngelFire website is still archived. A horrible mess of Comic Sans, black backgrounds with lime green and dark red or purple text, animated gifs, auto-playing sounds, frames and pretty much any and all features of HTML, especially things you never really saw being used like blinking and color changing text that wasn't just an image.

Too bad none of the Klik'n'Play games I made and had uploaded there are able to be downloaded... I kinda want to be reminded exactly what the Pikachu virtual pet I made was like in all it's cringe glory. Though Nintendo would probably be sending an army of lawyers up my ass rn if it was.

My site was on a local dialup provider when I was roughly 12. It had all lava as the background with flame gifs everywhere. Brief bio, cheats for MechWarrior, Doom, etc on different pages. I did fuck with frames.

A journalist emailed me about profiling young web developers and I was so fucking nerdy and anxious I never responded.

Oh shit how could I forget different midis for each page. Nirvana and Black Sabbath mostly.

Oh God I am sure my websites are gone. I hope so

If your site didn't have marquis text then it wasn't worth visiting.
