#2I don't know how many of you watched this show back in the day or even remember it, but the website has been created around 1998 and it's still online in its original form! Similar case as the old-school Space Jam website, a blast from the past :-)

#3My mom loved this show.

#4What's interesting to me is that, in spite of the site having been online since 1998, the site has been updated long after that - on the same platform. There are new box sets from 2009 for sale, for instance.
My naive assumption is that the site works well enough, and overhauling it or moving it to another platform (even a common one, that wouldn't require as much individual upkeep) just isn't worth it.
I had a professor in college with a website like this, where it was updated each year with new course material, but still used the same Netscape Composer-generated layout from the late 90s: http://meseec.ce.rit.edu/
The course material was still relevant and being updated - more things are changing than just the year. It works well enough, and I assume he has better things to do than revamp his website.

#5Somehow the Dole/Kemp site from 96 is still going:

Someone must have a decent list, some kinda of "Awesome 90s" list on GitHub or something?

#6OMG why is that button blurry?
If I were a kid today I'd wonder why old people ever bothered watching television or browsing the internet at all.
At the same time, I probably wouldn't even notice that famous Beatles recordings were recorded in mono.

#8Another in the "still online since the '90s" list is of course the original "Space Jam" promotional website. When the new movie started being promoted they reused the domain, but obviously somebody at WB cares about internet history because they left a link to the original on the front page and moved it to a subdirectory.

#91. Ah, “web ring” links. Now there is some nostalgia. I mean, I was more about the DBZ than the DrQ, but still, memories.
2. 159.8 KB, if I’m reading the inspector in Safari correctly. Nostalgia of a different sort.

Doing graphic design on a janky 17" CRT at 1024x768 resolution wasn't the best experience. In '98 it was still pretty early days for the web and web design was a bit of a wild west (much like the TV show) where any random person with an email address, website, and copy of Photoshop could sell their design services. Even big companies didn't have dedicated digital marketing or design divisions yet. The quality of what you got varied a lot.
