I really miss how tacky and cute the internet was. Everything is so pretty and cool now but like... Not in a good way, its just bland.

In 1993 it might have been on a BBS and not the internet at all. :)

Well... I was born after that. Even the internet I used had, well, this meme for example. ASCII art was common even when Twitch released in... 2010? The internet I used growing up in the late 2010s was still so inherited from whatever was stable enough to last through the 2000 dotcom bubble or release just after.

It came back?!

GeoCities went away and came back? I dont think I ever saw a GeoCities before present day. Its just a place where everyone can have one website and they are usually... Boldly designed, and personal. Right? I get why we need that now, but do you know more?
