It always looked like you would catch at least one Trojan per download, but it’s the real deal if you are looking for cracked game.exes or at least it was back in the day.
Thanks for the memory. I like how there is now a series of pre stripped strippers dancing on the right edge of the screen.
I just opened the page without adblocking – that brings back even more memories. And yes, the desktop strippers are still a thing, and now they dance on the entire website, not only in an add-window!
My ad blocking is on the router and it didn’t block the strippers.
Home stat runner dot net! It’s dot commmmmm!
Still fully operational and has kept alll the rich features that made it indispensable when it was new.
zombocom! Came here to say the same thing. I still pull it up once or twice a year for inspiration. You can do anything! The unattainable is unknown!
This is a cultural milestone in humanities history.
This brings me back.
I’d thoroughly learn everything I could before doing a drug, so I could use it responsibly, and then proceed to use it in as reckless and irresponsible fashion as possible.
Ah. To be young again.
Well you first try it slowly and carefully until you build confidence and take greater risks.
Great place for harm reduction and drug education, the world would be a better place if when people googled compounds or drugs google promoted erowid instead of burying them and putting some propaganda anti-drug websites on the front page.
Thank you for reminding me this exists!
My beloved
This is what the Internet looked like in 2004. I love this site for both it’s stated purpose, and the nostalgia of the design. Click it if you dare.
Joe Merrick, fucking legend, has been running this Pokémon database website for at least 15+ years. Basically the same layout, low/no ads, quality info for free. Got a Pokémon-related question? Serebii’s got the answer. Love it 💚
It’s not flash anymore and you have to start the music yourself but it’s pretty literally the exact thing it was in like 2000.
Top site, the Ian Knot must have already saved me cumulative hours of shoelace tying time.
A site that started as a forum for one particular class in one old (pre-dates WoW) MMO.
The population dipped a little when Facebook took off then nosedived again 6+ years later when reddit started getting super popular, but there are still a handful and change of us around with old friends dropping in to visit here and there.
I love the energy from this site.
When I started learning webdev this was all too close to home.
About bicycle maintenance.
Legendary fella in bike circles. I was sad when he died.
Speaking of bikes, https://www.bikeforums.net/ is still alive and pretty much unchanged. I wonder if the Helmet Wars are still being waged. LOL, yep.
I found that a few minutes ago on wiby.me, was surprised his family was maintaining his site for so long and had an active fb page for it
Miniclip . Com …? 😅
Ding ding, here comes the shit mobile
I would rather die in a fire than be rescued by this hairy piece of shit
Its honestly the best comment on the internet
Who is still paying the hosting fees for this?
Mark and Sarah King are the web admins and claim to have been designated to stay behind on the away mission to continue to spread their message. Although there’s still some contention around them from ex members that left before they all put on the white suits, laced up their Nikes, and drank the kool aid.
I vaguely remember a documentary where they were interviewed but can’t recall many specifics. There was also a sub reddit that (supposed) ex-members used to post in and many of them had a bone to pick with Mark and Sarah King about some of their claims.
I guess when you’re all in on crazy… I got nothing to finish that with.
