I wasn't around for then but I do kinda remember the tail end right before the internet began its terminal melting in the mid 2010s
That can't exist anymore but there has to be a future beyond this...
Regardless I need to make myself a website like that lol

Cameron's World is the best "THIS IS WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US" site I like to show people who never got on the internet until like 2006.
The internet I grew up using was the 2010s so this site definitely caught me off guard.
Everytime someone says the old internet I assume they're talking about the 2010s/ late 2000s. I completely forgot that these types of websites were a thing in the 90s/early 2000s
When you have literal gigabit internet but the primary bottleneck is dogshit websites
I've been wondering about if that side of the internet still exists, pretty great

It’s crazy how atomized the internet is—so many cool communities and sites I only ever knew about by accident.
