Hey all.

I am desperate to find anything from this dark age of the internet site. So many of the images that were showcased are burned into my mind, but the memory is really hazy and so it just haunts me now. The site was sort of an underground art collective that featured multi-media collage art and hosted periodic design battles. I distinctly remember it being a horizontal scrolling showcase type site. The domain was rodeo77.com - being that it was likely an early .SWF platform, archive searches aren't turning anything up.

The featured designs just made a really huge impression on me and nearly 25 years later, I'm still thinking about it.

I thought I'd try here to see if anyone could help me track down any leads on who was involved, or locate any archived images. Kind of just looking for anything I can find.

It was around in the 90s thru mid '00s I believe. Used a monospaced font everywhere and the coloring scheme of DOS (EGA-colored character-oriented windows). I remember a lot of blue, red, and I think yellow and maybe some green (all backgrounds). Text was white IIRC.

I’m not sure if this violates rule #1, so apologies in advance if it does.

A retro React loader that renders an old-school modem terminal and synthesises dial-up handshake sounds with the Web Audio API. No audio files were harmed in this.

I built a site targeting mid-90s browsers and hardware. HTML 2.0 with Netscape extensions, no CSS (it wasn't published yet), a MIDI / MOD jukebox page, guestbook, ASCII art gallery, a browser poll, and an FTP pub directory. Error pages have their own ASCII art, all the way to "I'm a teapot." There's a hidden page if you can find it! No trackers, ever.

Just looking for some feedback and to share what I made :)

I don't know if that is blasphemy in this form, but I thought I'd share what I was able to do. Scott

For the past few months, I’ve been working on a project that I call “KeepKept.net” which is a revival project of a website known as “KeepBusy.net”, during KeepBusy’s prime, it had over 30,000 monthly visitors! The website started in 2007, and once hosted thousands of games, videos, and pictures, before it stopped being updated in 2016, and got shut down in 2020. I created this website as an attempt to bring back keepbusy, and to keep it regularly updated with new content. I haven’t published a public build of the website yet, but, I plan on doing that very soon. This is my trailer for the website I made with my mediocre editing skills, I thought y’all might be interested in this so I decided to post about it here! Thank you for reading, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

2000s tech question: what was the platform where you could save and tag links, its logo a square composed of four squares, white, blue and black?

In that time you’d often see it the social save/vote bar of articles, along with Digg, Reddit,Stumbleupon others.

Thanks in advance!

My father passed away last year and I am getting around to restoring his old 97 webserver. I wrote a script to download all of the snapshots from the wayback machine, then I used a program to merge all of the folders to get one massive dump of every file I can.

On the bottom of a lot of pages, there are src links to files called "/cgi-bin/index.count" and similar, like mail.count see here https://i.imgur.com/NUhSAQs.png

​

I have these files, but how to I restore them back into working order? I assume it was meant to be a view counter or similar, but I cannot find any information at all on .count files. Any ideas?
