BETA tag is pretty slick. The U+1F6A7 under construction U+1F6A7 banner is more like it...
but BETA tags started around 2005, not the 90s

For similar reasons, a while ago I created a forum and registered https://rangerovers.pub - it's about Range Rovers, and we thought about doing it while we were in a pub. The Bon Accord in Glasgow, to be specific, after a lot of very fine curry in the Koh-I-Noor (gone now, sadly).
Gosh, now I look, it's ten years old in December. It's a pub. Where you talk about crappy old Landrovers and their ailments.
It's also an oldschool forum, and although I'm not really a fan of forums I'd far rather see those back over endless Discourse/Discord/reddit/facebook etc. Host it yourself on a VPS that costs a tenner. Own all your own data. If a couple hundred a year to run it is too much, ask your friends to chip in.
Take the Internet back.

Well nowhere in the page does the author mention any attempt to be authentic or using html written the same way ad in the 90's so I am wondering where does that negativity come and why? It looks to me this service is proposing hosting like it is the 90's, not building a web page exactly like it is the 90's with just a wee bit of retro clues.
The whole site goes on about wanting to recreate the feelings of the 90s.
That's it, feeling.
The same way a Mazda Miata gave you the feeling of driving a british roadster of the 60's while having much more modern internals,comfort, reliability and fuel economy.

#34Cool site, what software do you use? I like Frontpage 2000, but I'm hearing good things about Dreamweaver. Can anyone recommend a good WYSIWYG editor that creates conformant HTML 4.01?

I'll raise a pint to that (bringing back old-school forums over Discord/Discourse)!

#37It would be cool if there's was a public "explore" page to see the sites that currently exist, similar to Neocities.
Might add something like that, but curated. Don't want it to be a spam vector.

I've never felt comfort in a Miata haha

#40The retro part is encouraging beginers to learn to edit html on their own computer, and quickly have a personal space.
Yes, I think that's an important part of the experience. One can edit some text, some CSS/JS if desired (optional), and immediately see the effect. Publish it and now your changes are global.
