#62Would love to compare this to a HTTP/2 version!

#63Reminded me of this:
http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/
...and how many of the ads on this page are for "pixel ads" (no longer functioning of course).

#64I was surprised to not find any X10 ads in there, but I guess they just never did small GIFs. Some of their examples from back in the day http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~kuan/x10.html
Those ads were annoying enough that Kompressor wrote a song about them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF8NK6eruUs

#65This takes me back to the days of forum signatures, planetrenders.com, pixel fonts with 1px strokes, making emoticons ( not emojis) on deviantArt, BBCode and making long-winded posts on VBulletin/PhpBB boards with the top three posts "reserved for later use". Man I wish I could go back.
You'd probably enjoy this collage of GeoCities vibes:

I used to "hand-craft" HTML. Literally, writing it and no templates so each page is unique. Gallery page was manually updated. If I kinda deeply think about it - I post may be one post every 2 months. Why the hell do I need a blogging CMS or static site generator, etc? Just craft a HTML page. You can just write it by hand. #header_h1 ...is it that much more work to write header_h1 ? Especially, every once in 2 months…
Some people still do this. http://john.ankarstrom.se/html/

Userbars!
I completely forgot about them! Just looked at a bunch of them, they (and forum signatures in general) were kind of awesome.

You know what's interesting? You are not alone. Something Awful forums still have most of these things and people are even paying for that in the year 2021 :D

#69Fair warning: Page 1 transfers about 8.3MB with 1,000+ HTTP requests. And will likely bring back memories of the 90s.
Imagine loading this page in the 90s though! One new HTTP connection at a time, a full TCP handshake. Maybe if you were lucky you were using Netscape which would load up to 4 resources at once!
We were hacking back then too.

(Not really a hack, but a lesser known optimization)

#70Seeing Netflix in Page 3 is disorienting. Reminds you that it's actually a pretty old company.
