I went to look at onlinedemoz.com, the domain that currently hosts retro-daze. Boy, oh boy. I haven't seen one of those in years. Except they used to be a lot simpler. These things littered geocities pages like confetti after a ticker tape parade. I am particularly fond of the animated versions. People created countless variations. Man, that one on the right is working really hard. Look at him go! Things got even more customized as time went on. When having your own webpage was way more common, and everybody's website was "under construction" forever, some wanted more than the barriers and little digging guys. I think this one is some kind of pokemon thing? Of course The Simpsons made an appearance. I really like this salacious drawing. It seems so "outsider art". You're not sorry. Don't lie to me. Quote |

Geocities is a retro subculture of it's own.
You love this signature.

I love how it's like a directory of every website the author has ever visited. Just in case you forget where dell.com or google are. The tiled background image, the digital clock with seconds ticking, the calendar telling me it's Decemeber 2012, visit counter...sometimes I wish the whole internet still looked like this.
