Crimes of Websites Past
Apr. 12th, 2019 05:08 pmSo, a while back ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
galaxysoup and I were reminiscing about the horrors of classic fannish website design. Remember when Geocities was a thing and disclaimer pages made you hunt for the second comma in the thirteenth line? Remember purple text on black background, blinking gifs and flashing text, cheesy ornamental buttons, weird graphics and crazy fonts?
Well, as it turns out, I still have evidence of some of my transgressions. Here they are, for your amusement! ( Pictures under the cut! )
Sooo… what do you think?
