Agreed. Back in '96 I was a teenager who spent all his free time running a modest gaming fan website [1]. I dropped it when I went to college a year later, but its nice to know all that hard work will forever be memorialized within the wayback machine. It helps me remember why I became a software engineer in the first place. Thanks for that.

  i remember questioning whether it was ok to drop 8x6 support. the golden days.

    Oh, this was back when we were tired of supporting 640x480, hence the message of "best viewed on 800x600" :)

    Personally, my favorite is how NT4 and 2000 Terminal Servers were limited to 8-bit color depth (without Citrix, of course).

Do you still own that domain? It's fantastic.
- arscan 14y ago
  Thanks! Sadly, I brought on a volunteer who bought the domain in his name. Not a very smart idea in retrospect... but I was young, and not many people understood the value of a good domain name back in 1996 ;-) We were up to 20k daily uniques when I quit (not bad for 1997). I wrote the forum & related software myself in perl, which was an amazing learning experience.
