A community for anyone who misses the "old web". Inspired by a post I made asking for examples of websites with an old school vibe. This community can be used to post links to old style websites, directories of websites, etc.

  • HTML 4.01
  • Web 1.0 Hosting and its built-in guestbook widget, counters
  • HamsterCMS
  • JavaScript (only for modern browsers)
