If you look at the first captures (https://web.archive.org/web/19981205011851/http://www.memepool.com:80/ https://web.archive.org/web/19981205011851/http://www.memepo...), this is not the modern sense of the term “meme” as “funny picture/running gag”. Memes in the modern sense of course already existed much earlier, but usage of the term “meme” in that sense only developed later, sometime in the 2000s. At least that’s how I remember it.
