The flowers on the right hand side look like daisies and probably like 1-2cm across. The whole thing is probably about 20cm across. Its probably a mole-hill? It looks vaguely like it could be earth displaced from a tunneling devil if you squint a bit and go with the 2002 vibe.
Moles, though. You can't trust 'em.

I put together a list of sites/catalogues you might find interesting: https://untested.sonnet.io/Places+to+Find+Indie+Web+Content
I've a site like that too, we would appreciate a link: http://wmw.thran.uk

It still exists you’re just missing it
Right... But how does one find it. Does one have to tilt their trolley at every pillar on every train platform. Or find a friendly worm type thing to show them hidden entrances?

It's work and we need to re-establish a true net of websites, webrings and all the other forgotten stuff that was made obsolete by search engines. Here's my contribution: https://mglz.de/links.html

I'm not sure, I think it's better to keep it private and dispense it through closed communities. These things don't work unless there is a lot of personal interest between each website creator, so just dumping them into a big list isn't great. I think the best modern approaches I've seen have forums/Discord servers organised around a topic, such as making demos or sizecoding, and then people sharing their sites and p…
Interestingly the "entrances" seem to go from /page272.html to /page381.html, and then loop back. There also appears to be some kind of autocorrecting going on in the url path, where /page1381.html will redirect to /page381.html, though some will give you multiple choices like https://www.entrances2hell.co.uk/page481.html . Seems like a strange routing system. Is this common?
My favourite track is "Ssssuuuuft".
I love this. Texts appear both coherent yet utterly random: > Satan's heat-image can sometimes be seen here and it has recently been proven that all of the earth's insects were born just inside the metal door.

Much like saying ancient Rome still exist, you just can see it through all the gentrification
Gentrification is a poor analogy since the web is not zero sum unlike physical space. Attention is limited though and that has shifted away from websites like this so maybe it's gentrification of attention
Not disagreeing with you. It's just the modern web is a trap. A game you will lose, as your attention is abused, misdirected and monetized.

It looks as if it's "not zero sum" because a random user can supposedly check out anything on equal footing, whether it's Facebook.com or some guy's hobby personal website. They're both there and available.
But in reality that's never the case. A person taken at random is never equally likely to visit this or that (except in the sense: I have 50%-50% chances of winning the lottery today: I either win, or I don't). The gentrified one's would have way more exposure, be promoted as way more essential (socially, and even professionally) to be on them, they will have all the trappings of fashion, like modern design, mobile client apps, and such.
Back in 1999 that wasn't yet the case. At least nowhere near to the degree it is today.
This is reflected in viewership numbers of course, where a gentrified behemoth might get 99% of the traffic, and the rest long tail 1%, despite consisting of billion times more websites.
