<quoting=orchids postID=1442 threadID=197> I'd be interested in seeing the amount of people who created things for the Web from 20 years ago vs. today. I feel like it's never been easier to actually get something online, but the downside is there's so ...

<quoting=Devastatia postID=1425 threadID=197> I had no idea there was whole "yesterweb" movement until just a couple of weeks ago. I discovered a webring, and tried to add my forum to it. They said they don't take forums, only personal websites. So I spent ...
