Heh, I recently came across a "guestbook" [0] that I set up ~20 years ago. I doubt that new posts work but it's still there all these years later.
HTML was so much simpler back then.

Reminds me of a feeling that the web had back then. Full of wonder, opportunity; it felt safe, friendly, cozy. I wish I could explain it better. Kind of like a party with trusted friends with shared interests and discovery.
Now it feels like a lot of work and little wonder. It feels unsafe, hostile and you know you are being watched, but not for your protection.
Anyways. Randomc omment but your comment reminded me of this lol.
It was still a lot different, and I liked the fact it was filled with a lot more nerds, relatively speaking.
