Fantastic idea.
I kind of miss this era of the internet, it was truly the wild west of web design. No rules, just whatever works, works and damn the rest.
Check out neocities.org
That was a really interesting descent down a rabbit hole, I'll not soon forget that! It reminds me of stumbling across sites like Ted the Caver, and some other oddities in the very early 2000s at 3 or 4am. Thanks for sharing!
So I thought I’d try you lot!
One of my favorite songs: "You Lot"
Was hoping to see orbital. I think that's a sample from some Christopher Eccleston flick. Also love their track Doctor?
Knew what it was without clicking, iirc it was an ITV series called "Messiah" or something like that.
Ecclestone is supposed to be the son of God, returned...or some shite like that.
I do have trouble sleeping, but this only made it worse.
That was wild - cheers

I think I went through all the screens and still awake lol. Good one!
What an amazing find, this is so surreal...
That really is bizarre!
Wow this is amazing, immediately subscribed to this community. The RetroNet motif really calls to me.
Just found RetroNet.net, it's a shame it looks unmaintained. Sounds like a really cool idea.
wow I didn't even realize there was a website named RetroNET when I created this community (great minds think alike, eh?)
hopefully the creator of that page finds their way here since we've already got a lot of great content being submitted by users!
