As an early teenager, in late 90s, I built a crappy non-English website on a topic that was covered by only a few other sites in that language. It received a healthy amount of traffic for a few years, as anyone researching that topic was bound to end up visiting. As you say, I did add it to a few catalogues and exchanged a few banners, but that was it. And hey, I’m not angry about it. Anyone visiting Wikipedia nowadays is MUCH better served. But the vibe of being a “webmaster” has definitely changed.
