Or, more likely, you clicked "back" on the "navigation bar" and it would 404 because the author messed up the links, since it was all hand crafted HTML.
Funny stuff aside, there are still loads of "websites" out there. If I understand the criteria here, we are looking for mostly hand crafted pages maintained by individuals (or small groups) that have interesting content. Something, should I say, very "web 1.0"?
Here's a good one. Make sure to check the GUI Gallery section:

User Friendly is always hilarious (unfortunately, updates stopped ages ago, but going through the archive is sill fun):
http://www.userfriendly.org/ http://www.userfriendly.org/
And here's something random, the best page in the universe:
http://maddox.xmission.com/ http://maddox.xmission.com/
Like I said, there are TONS of these out there. You just have to, you know, look for them.
- Jaruzel 9y agoWe need a good search index of these and all the other sites likes them. Something that deliberately doesn't include pages from bigger sites or sites full of cruft.
- discreditable 9y agoIt could probably be easily accomplished by filtering out sites that use JS libraries like jquery, etc.
- fenwick67 9y ago"best viewed with" followed by your query (ex: "best viewed with" dragons) gets you lots of great old results in a regular search engine. It will grab any sites that said "best viewed with truetype fonts", "best viewed with Netscape" et cetera from the internet's heyday.
