Beautiful. The internet was a truly different place back then...

  With 100K visitors / day or so we were in the top 30 websites world wide in 1998. The really big boosts came from the Space Shuttle webcasts and an Yves St. Laurent fashion show webcast from Paris. Hard to believe now, a typical blog post will already pick up 30K visitors without too much trouble.

    I could listen to stories of the Old Net all day.

        Serves you right for hotlinking ;-)

          Yes, but at least it was my own domain :) I didn't see that consequence coming when camarades.com shut down. I really should dig up those images and repair the blog but the todo list isn't really getting any shorter on this end.
