I just stumbled across the first website I ever made, along with all the other sites I'd interlinked with, and the webring I managed. Wow. Rather embarrassing but entertaining experience of counters, cross-linked images (Angelfire had 2mb limit or something) all-centred text, conflicting backgrounds, ICQ numbers (ah, they're still around)...

But it won some awards, and even seems to have had a surge of traffic, this millennium, back in 2003... judging by the guestbook entries. :D

One of them's here if anyone's curious about how 11 year olds made webpages, about a decade ago, or happened to be into Warhammer.

Anyone else have any cringe-worthy experiences like this, stumbling over your old sites?

My first ever website was the vengaboys hate page hosted in angelfire around 2000.
It was made with frames and stuff like that, really high technology.

I know i hosted a small personal website and the homepage had a 1mb picture of me that took forever to load (and wasn't even resized properly).

Too bad i can't find those sites anymore. And if I ever started thinking about monetizing websites... I would have been a rich biatch.
 
I remember when it cost like $100 to register a domain. Now I wish I would have registered them all...
 
Urghhs... just thinking of my first websites makes me cringe.

::emp::
 
Probably about Pokemon or Marilyn Manson. 8 years ago my html project in school was an online dvd rental website, now everyone is doing it. I was ahead of my time with that one. I also used to think <marquee></marquee> was the bitchinest thing ever.
 
I was always a straight up hater to anyone with a shitty webpage, I'd start throwing around nerd lingo.
 
A geocities "homepage" site with every gimmick in the book, 1996ish. Homepages used to be like myspace profiles, but only nerds had them.
 
Five years ago, my portal. After all, I wrote a lot of shit there, however, it had the coolest design (not fucking, ask my mother)...
 
My first website was an experiment. I paid a domain for one year only and used it to test a lot. Now Heptagrama is something pretty more serious.
 
My first site was hosted on my PC and the domain was teensexpics.com, lol... I was 16 and I plastered it will banner ads for porn sites. I made more money back then (1996-97) with affiliate programs than I do now. I also had a few domains I wish I wouldn't have let expire, like... infected.com/org, solo.com, project.com, backpacking.net...

ugh... to think about all the money I let expire......
 
my first site was called heresajob.com and it was a job search engine. it failed to say the least.
 
I started my first site over 10 years ago assembling information for myself -- then decided to share it with the "world"... I remember thinking paying $75 for a domain was too expensive. Now, I still make $$ from it after not making changes for 7 years. Just recently was offered $12,000 for it -- and turned them down.

Tripod, it was about ROMS for NES :)
Click to expand...

If I remember correctly, most roms were hosted at tripod.it. :D

My first website was on pokemon roms. It did quite well with 10,000 uniques a day. We can just do a <img src="dimeclick.com" width="0" height="0"> or iframe and money comes into bank account.:bowdown:
 
My first web site was a shitty eBook store hosted on Freewebs. Both the site and the idea are easy to laugh at now.
