I made a Nintendo fan site with FrontPage 2000 (well the first version was made with Word which made atrocious HTML but I migrated quickly).

It was complete with all the expected features of the time, including an autoplaying MIDI Pokémon background music, Comic Sans everywhere and 3D rotating text gifs made with Xara X3D. Oh and moving text in the status bar.

I'm not sorry at all though.

Made a Pokemon fan site, must have been 9 or something, I didn't know how to link to other pages, so everything was one page and links worked via anchors...

I attempted to make a pokemon battle system in front page by linking pages and hard coding each action.

Oh man, me too. I couldn’t figure out anything about dynamic web pages except that I needed a host with “cgi-bin support”. I wanted to build a Neopets alternative, and when I couldn’t figure out how to do anything dynamic, I figured I could just build out a new page for every combination of variables that could change.

I was like, 7, so my math skills didn’t really allow me to understand the scope of the number of pages that would be required.

But god damn if I didn’t have a blast trying.

Me too. Midis and comet cursor. Sorry

Ditto, but with Power Rangers. I think I was 13.
