- ikt 6y agoI always wondered who was making the images and gifs
- rapnie 6y agoOr how far removed sites were from current flat-pixel designs, where menu's could be embossed text on slabs of deeply veined marble (and you had to carefully craft the html to make all the image snippets fit seamlessly).
- elliekelly 6y agoI’m ashamed to admit that I spent many hours making my own frame-by-frame gifs in the late 90s/early 2000s and while it’s (I assume) much easier to make a gif today I don’t exactly know how because I’ve never done it. I’m sure I could figure it out but between Giphy and Google every gif I’ve needed in the last 15 years has been at my fingertips.
- blululu 6y agoSurprisingly I don’t think gif making tools have improved very much inspite of corporate interest from giphy(FB) and tenor (Goog). That said no shame in spending too much time making a gif. During quarantine I made a gif using watercolors that took up a few hours.

- bigcorp-slave 6y agoI just wanna say I love your site so much. Thank you for keeping some of the old internet alive by generating high-quality, free content instead of just aggregating it!
- DamnInteresting 6y agoOh, goodness me. Thank you for the unsolicited kind words. You've improved my previously gloomy mood.
