Wow, one of the originals from the Precambrian era of the web.

I have a vague recollection that User Friendly started publishing on an OS/2 Warp fan site sometime around 1995-96.

(Edit: on quick googling, I'm probably wrong and confusing it with something else from that era.)

Part of the good old web for me: userfriendly, slashdot, zophar's domain, crackstore, fosi.da.ru, fravia, gamasutra... among several others. Those were amazing times.

Sinfest too, at least before it became a strange mix of extremist postures. The art is still great, though.

At least the original Space Jam website lives on, although I see they relocated it with the release of the sequel last year.

While looking for the OS/2 site that would have hosted User Friendly, I found OS/2 e-Zine! whose first issue is still online, with the exact same HTML as in 1995:

It's all so ... readable.

It's uncluttered, but the contrast isn't great.

It looks great on mobile too.
