People back then used to do some annoying things with their webpages as well. Remember the sites where there would be text following your cursor in a trippy trail intended to boggle the mind? Yeah that was fun

The Flash days were often annoying, but sometimes I would see some really creative stuff. Flash was often just as much about art as functionality. Thankfully though today most developers hate Flash, but I must admit I am posting from a computer that has Flash (the development environment) installed on it. I won't use it though

I also recently read this article about Mark Zuckerberg's Angelfire site from 1999 being rediscovered.

Those sites where the backgrounds were busy and people had to put about a million animated gifs on them were pretty annoying as well, lol! I remember a story about someone finding Zuckerberg's old website, but I was thinking it was different from that one.

I think we should go back to building our own websites and link up via webrings again! Screw Facebook, lol!!!
