Ah memories :) Does anyone remember the javascript meme where you'd get people to click a form button and then it would pretend to format your C:\ drive?? My 1996/7 site had that :D

And web rings! I miss the old internet :'(



Oh web rings!! And the format c:\ meme...what great memories!

Do you remember the "Through an incredible amount of programming, I wrote a script that will show you what time my VCR is set to"? meme? The user would click a link to a page that contained:

<blink>12:00</blink>

The good old days....


One of my favorites:

"I found this collection of files posted on a cybercrime website. Check and see if any of them are yours..."

Then there was a link that went to file://c:\ so the user would be browsing their own hard drive...


Ha I don't remember that one but lol!

Everything was much more fun and innocent back then. It's definitely that that I miss the most from the early days of the web.
