#42This put a smile on my face. Thank you Geocities for first sparking my interest in coding.

#43Can you make the dropdown menu crash my netscape as it tries to load an applet?
Oh man. I nearly just spit water on my computer.

#44I'm 17; was the internet ever actually this bad? That spinning "HOT" gif next to "Buttons" is giving me cancer.
Yes. This is incredibly accurate. The spinning "HOT" gif might actually be executed a little too well for the 90s.
The professional web was bad back then, but usually in slightly different ways. For instance, there were a few years where it was incredibly common to have a splash page that did nothing but show a logo (and take 45 seconds to load). Splash pages became a bit of a trend in part because there was an influential (but terrible) web design book that recommended making your user see a completely useless page before letting them get to actual content.
It was like any new technology. People played with it and used it in stupid ways while they figured out how to use it. Some people learned faster than others.

The 90s were truly the golden age of the internet.
this.
There was so much more excitement all around. The technology was arcane compared to what's possible today, but most of the bad stuff was missing. People were looking for ways to use, not abuse the internet.
There were barely any lawyers, marketers or managers who felt the need to interfere. Things were driven by sysadmins and their curiosity, just governed by gentlemen's agreements and common sense.
You could go on irc (with mIRC) and talk to strangers who where thrilled about talking to people around the globe. Like chatroulette or whatever but without the dicks and trolling.

#46The "Guestbook" got a chuckle out of me. Haven't seen one of those in years.
Then I realized that we just call them "the comments section" now and put them on every article.

#47At least it's responsive.
Good catch! Now people can experience this horridness on more devices :)

#49God this is priceless. I appreciate that it wasn't playing a snippet of 8 bit MIDI music in a short loop which is looped mid-phrase during a key signature change.

The original website for Space Jam (the movie with Michael Jordan) is still up: http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm Not quite as bad as the OP's link, but still--that was a high-profile professionally designed site in 1996.
On the plus side, it now loads much faster than the rest of the web.
