What is this angelfire thing I keep seeing

Back in the mid to late 90’s there was a big fad of letting people build their own basic HTML websites and hosting it on a remote server. Geocities and Homestead were also popular.

Oh ok. So it’s a meme. I thought images were really being directed to some external site for some reason lol.

angelfire is not a meme. it’s where i hosted my linkin park fansite when i was in middle school.

I hope and pray these sites have been erased from existence.

It would spell the end for many people if theirs suddenly resurfaced. Shame compounds with time you know.

i think the internet was less static back then. the things you posted didn’t last for all eternity and usually no one ever saw them.

It was a heady time, filled with fractal .gif backgrounds, dancing babies, evil overlord lists, and fanrings. It was a time when you could post a shitty site composed entirely of tables and have hundreds of people who went to it every single day to read your opinions on wrestling, anime, or star trek. It was a time when porn videos were in quicktime and took ten minutes to load; it was a time when courier new was the default “hacker” font and #000000 backgrounds were considered edgy.

Before myspace, before facebook, before CSS and, in some places, even javascript, it was a place where your grandmother could make a website, so the world could see twenty pages of bad family photos and read terrible poetry about her cats.
