I used to love memepool!

Marcus Aurelius		2012-11-15 05:06:54 PM

They forgot Zombo.com.

Elzar: ignitesma.s3.amazonaws.com

You know, they should really make some changes to that site.

Is The Hun's page still updated?

I was waiting for this AND for the photoshops of what it'd look like in Roman times, Middle Ages, etc. Those were pretty good.

suck.com is still up, but no new content in a decade or more.

cruel.com is gone.

doglover		2012-11-15 05:46:53 PM

There are no ancient websites. The net is less than 1000 odd years old, still.

It's no accident that the Dole/Kemp website is still up:

"This Web Site is Presented for Educational Purposes by 4president.org"

You know, Altavista's website isn't that ancient. That current look was done as part of a redesign after Google became popular.

I remember a lot of these. So does this mean I can tell young whippersnappers to get off my cyberlawn?

Me neither, actually.

You know what, scrap that idea. It's a terrible idea, that.

Came for a picture of Fark before it had comments.

Left disappointed.

You guys should totally go see my geocities page.

gingerjet		2012-11-15 07:36:37 PM

And yet gizmodo somehow still survives ...

skinink		2012-11-15 07:38:32 PM

Where the hell is Zombo.com on that list?!?!?!?

majestic		2012-11-15 07:47:42 PM

I still use Excite on a daily basis. Yes, their email interface is complete crap, but I've had that damned address forever and people still contact me there.

kinkkerbelle		2012-11-15 07:48:17 PM

rotten.com

Rest in peace.

Tom_Slick		2012-11-15 07:55:06 PM

Anyone else remember when Yahoo had so few sites indexed it piggybacked on alta vista after page 2 or 3?

Unoriginal_Username		2012-11-15 07:57:38 PM

So, how many went to Aliweb and typed in lesbian hooker midgets to see if there were any results...

/surely it couldn't have been just me

peart2112		2012-11-15 07:59:41 PM

Has anyone mentioned http://zombo.com

^ Remember this?

I believe there were still Gopher and WAIS listings in the '96 edition. Wonder how many of those are still up.

Just for those who aren't familiar with it, I'll throw this out there:

Holy shiat yes. I believe it even had adult only sites listed.

Maddox is still around. Hasn't changed the design much. I went there to see if he was still around, and it appears that he still updates, but isn't really that funny anymore. I guess he peaked at "I've never seen a fire truck that's needs to be shaved."

Nuclear Monk		2012-11-15 08:27:27 PM

NuttierThanEver: Is The Hun's page still updated?

Yes..it appears it is still alive and well.

Boy, I had forgotten about him. "Ding, ding, here come's the shiatbus!"

Skyfrog		2012-11-15 08:40:40 PM

There are still a lot of gopher sites up and running. Most browsers have dropped support for the protocol but the Overbite addon for Firefox re-adds support for it. Here's a gopher site where you can find most of them: gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/world

jimmyjackfunk		2012-11-15 08:47:04 PM

was lycos the one that clicks gave you chances to win cash money? Never met anyone who won but I seem to remember CBS trying to do a tie in with it right after Survivor was the big thing.
