Was about to say Zombo.com too but then I remembered it's actually still up after all these years.

Damn I just went there. Is there an end to the Ugandan knuckles voice over?

The joke back then was you'd give the link to a friend and watch them sit there for 5 minutes looking at the neverending "loading" screen. A ton of (what were then new) flash based websites overused it and loading screens were common, so people expected to wait a bit before everything was loaded in. Everything beyond simple static HTML was done with plugins and applets.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
