OMG, the memories. I had a really basic Geocities website but I didn't keep it up for long. I just remember setting up a guestbook for it and fiddling with a page counter.
Also, yes, I totally remember having to hunt through a disclaimer page to find the embedded hidden link to get into the archive. And some sites even set up a false link so if you clicked the wrong thing, it just took you to a page that said you were too young to be there.
I still think about setting up my own site (and now I actually have original content for it) but AO3 makes it so easy to format fic that I hadn't really looked into it. But I saw another commenter here say that you never know what might happen in the future which *sigh* is so true.
