I'm not sure how younger folks would feel seeing this...perhaps that it's ugly, less useful, sparse. And they'd be a bit right.
But for me this was a hit of pure nostalgia, flipping item to item. Almost like looking through an old photo album of memories you'd forgotten years back. Thanks Neal for putting it together.
Slightly fun fact - the original Space Jam site stayed intact until 2021!

- al_borland 1y agoThey actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance. https://www.spacejam.com/1996/ https://www.spacejam.com/1996/
- silisili 1y agoNice! Never knew that. I wish more companies with popular sites did this. I'm sure it cost them about no money nor time to just shovel it off like this.

- reddalo 1y agoThey moved everything under /1996 when the new movie came out, and while doing so they broke some pages.
- dag11 1y agoOh man I forgot all about <frameset> and <frame> tags to create navigation. From the early days before we had dynamic sites or static site generators with templates, we had our browsers do our "templating" for us!
- dowager_dan99 1y agoframeset was THE basis for building manual-style resources back in the day! * nav header; search (if you could figure out how to make it work) * Table of contents * main content pane fun times!
- yawnxyz 1y agoI love how the new Space Jam website is ALSO in the 90's style! https://www.spacejam.com/2021/ https://www.spacejam.com/2021/
- slyall 1y agoThey managed to break https://www.spacejam.com/ https://www.spacejam.com/ though. It redirects to https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ which has a bad cert and then goes into a redirect loop. So broken after just 4 years
- genewitch 1y agoHey give Disney a break they're a small company with only a few employees. Maybe tbe certifier is on vacation.
- backspace_ 1y agoLooney toons is a Warner Brothers property, not Disney.
- genewitch 1y agoI wasn't thinking. you are of course correct. My brain conflated because both are based in burbank. yeah, that's what i am going with.
- Thorrez 1y agoHmm, I didn't get a redirect https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/ https://www.spacejamanewlegacy.net/
- shakna 1y agoI got the loop in both desktop Chrome and Firefox, as well as Android Chrome, Brave and Firefox (though these timed out after a few loops, unlike the desktop). Were you maybe on Safari/iOS?
- Thorrez 1y agoI visited https://www.spacejam.com/ https://www.spacejam.com/ with Chrome on Windows, Firefox on Windows, and Chrome on Android. It didn't redirect for any of them.
- Workaccount2 1y agoI never particularly liked 50's or 60's aesthetic, and always puzzled over how my parents could gush so hard over it. Now, I totally get it.
- JKCalhoun 1y agoA photo album that gets more and more depressing.
- silisili 1y agoIf your album is roughly chronological like mine... watching the kids grow up, yourself and your spouse get fatter and grayer....they -do- get more and more depressing :).
- JKCalhoun 1y agoYeah, so like life I guess. :-( (Although you may have read recently as I have that 50 years old seems to be peak happiness for people self-reporting happiness.)
- causality0 1y agoI found having to keep backtracking because one swipe advanced two or three screens to be very annoying.
