This whole site from 1996 still works!

Oh man, how our attention span and curiosity has changed. Can you imagine a sitemap like this, today: https://www.spacejam.com/cmp/sitemap.html ?

It's glorious!

Probably a wasted effort back then, too, to be fair.

Gotta love the editorializing right there.

They must be continuing to update this as in 1996 it wouldn't have had links to Privacy Policy pages on WB's current website. I think that makes it even cooler as they are actively maintaining it in its historic form.

In the earliest (December) 1996 version that Archive.org has, the site has an initial landing page you have to click through before you arrive at something similar to the homepage today:

There are a group of fans who've kept it up and updated....

I'm curious if they are going to leave it in its historic form or replace it for the upcoming sequel being released this summer.

I was wondering this, too, recently. spacejam2.com is kind of interesting in that they sell jams and also offer to sell the domain for a million dollars.

"You are welcome to buy our jam or you can also buy our website"

This is hilarious, thanks so much for sharing. Very funny halfway-legitimate approach to cybersquatting.

Thank you for sharing that. That's the most dedicated domain squatter I've ever seen.

The Cookie Settings link looks to be incorrect. I was curious what cookie settings would mean on a site from 1996.

It's so fast!
