Hello there,
i like this topic.
Anyway, i find todays internet actually boring. Just alone by its UI.
When i started with the internet, it was fun. Things to explore and websites had icons you could click to get randomly forwarded to a different side.
This was pre Google.
Nowadays, you don't know if you are talking to an AI or if the creator just let the AI do the job.
So, i am a huge fan of obscure things on the internet.
The other day, i thought, why not get into the newsnet again. My program that i used doesn't seem to exist anymore. I bought a license for Agent Forte years ago as i really like the software. Not opensource but basic UI, fast and reliable. So it kind of a disappointment really.
Your links were really great. I assume everyone is younger than me but the important thing is, to keep the lights on for these gems on the internet.
I haven't build a web page in ages, though when Netscape was around, i actually learned how things work. Not really advanced in any way but to have some understanding how it should be done. Neocities is great as you don't have to do much work really and it reflects the internet of old.
I have to maintain my own space there. Haven't done much really. Laziness and no purpose mostly.
