- aric 11y agoHell.com was in a league of its own in this genre. Those were the days. It's fittingly tragic that it's now reduced to a landing page of ads.
- icelancer 11y agoWow, it sure was. Did anyone expose what it was actually all about, since it claimed to have a membership site or something? Ah the days of entering in random URLs and seeing what happened...
- aric 11y agoExploring past those gates into membership is rumored to have led to a cabal of artists and designers in the web's avant-garde scene. We may remember hell.com for what it represented. It was a rabbit hole that unsettled minds, unfurling beyond depths of a web people previously thought they knew, to cause wonder.
- mirimir 11y agoI was a member, bought back my soul, and had a hell.com email address for years. As aric said, it was a cabal of artists and designers, mostly using Flash. There were discussion boards, spaces to explore, and so on. The associated site http://www.cygne-noir.com/ http://www.cygne-noir.com/ is still up, but with just an image. There's probably a login somewhere, but you must know the URL. And http://final.org/ http://final.org/ is for sale. But http://www.8081.com/home/ http://www.8081.com/home/ and http://www.medialounge.org/ http://www.medialounge.org/ are still there, and seem much as I recall.
- rossjudson 11y agoIt's hell.com. Seems highly appropriate.

- honestcoyote 11y agohttp://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org/ http://wwwwwwwww.jodi.org/ Working until 3 AM in 1997. My first development job. jodi's page gets sent to me by a friend or from slashdot or word.com or whatever. And this bit of mystery, while DJ Shadow or Tricky or Lycia plays in the background, was completely beautiful and overwhelming to a sleep-deprived me.

- Mytho 11y agoSuperBad was a little late to the Net art game but they had a great site. Jodi.org is a art project. JO and DI are the abbreviation of the artist. The original entry to the site was 23.org (now sends you to hackers) which was a strange pyramid. I remember they got their start or had galleries at Art center college of design - Pasadena. It was called Net.Art. I was also really big designing it, kind of like hacking before it was big. You made code do things that it shouldn't, make the browser shake or many pop ups that close themselves...all big feats back then. You will never get the full effect of these sites now becouse of how the browsers block most of the code. Back in the day when you pulled these sites up they were just moving. Even one time the guys from JODI made a game that downloaded in pices onto your desktop... now that would be called maleware. Hell.com (I was a member) was a site that basically was a gallery of all net artist and a place to cloab and they gave you a email addy. They did work like organizing Radioheads crazy OK computer website. Idiots Hell.com are as they were offered 18 million in the late 90's for that domain but they turned it down due to pride. Bet they are kicking themselves now...lol I personally single handedly destroyed the only Net.art listserver of the net art groups by photoshopped porn and txt bombs, was a anarchist back then now work for the united nations... funny how things turn around. Lots of Net.Artist went into hacking and web development. -Mytho

- nathell 11y agoPolish only (so you'd likely not be able to appreciate the typos and orthographic errors), early 2000s, but the page itself is worth looking at: http://www.web_4_all.republika.pl/ http://www.web_4_all.republika.pl/
- plug 11y agoHaha. This really reminds me of the very first webpage I ever made, in... 2000 I think? I created a series of images of a lens flare turning a magenta background into a white flash, turned it into an animated gif and used that as the background tile. Eye-watering stuff. I knew I'd finally found what I wanted to do :P
- shubhamjain 11y agoAm I the only one who is missing the context? I don't get what is the point of this website.
- lmz 11y agoWhy is Mytho's comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9603201 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9603201 marked dead? That was the first comment from the user and it appears to be on topic.
- singingfish 11y agoAha my go to test site when I'm sick of google.com and example.com.
