Old websites that you made years ago




Posted by Admiral Anthrax

Somehow Jesse still had the link to this one:

[URL="http://www.angelfire.com/mb/pokemonyx/pokemonyx2.html"]http://www.angelfire.com/mb/pokemonyx/[/URL]

I made this back around 1996-97, and forgot it even existed until Jesse posted the link in my thread on Community Board. Oddly enough, for my age and for the time period, the quality wasn't too bad. Nowadays, on the other hand...

Anyways, any of you guys have crappy old websites to share?

That would be my first forum. I ****ed it up not to long ago on purpose because I was bored one day.

Actually I'm surprised I was able to find it. I actually remembered my CJB url and checked it on the archive machine site, somehow I was able to get the old proboard link for it. lol

A forum I made in April 2004. I remained the admin of the site for a few months and then gave my powers to the most active member in it and became a simple member. I'm surprised someone posted in it recently though. I thought it was long dead 0_0

[url=http://www.geocities.com/linko_16/home.html]Nuts About Nintendo[/url], classic Linko circa 2003. I created the site originally as a Nintendo tribute site not unlike my series-specific favorites of the time like The Mushroom Kingdom, The Metroid Database, The Rainbow Resort, but when it became clear to me that I did not have the knowledge or resources to create such a website, I instead reapplied it as a home page for my first ever sprite comic (unfortunately, all the content before this point has been deleted).

I sort of fell out of doing that comic series, but decided at some point to start it up again! Newer, fresher, and with a whole new series! What you see there is as far as I got with the newly-designed layout: a top and side banner that is surprisingly good for my skill level at the time, along with an obnoxious logo and the first of the new sprite comic series (just as bad as before if not worse, but I was sure I had improved. If you read the strip, you'll see I was fairly confident I would be accepted by Bob and George!). Although I had several strips of this new series ready, this was as far as I got with the website; [url=http://www.geocities.com/linko_16/]This[/url] is what has been on the official home page all this time, telling a lie to anyone out there crazy enough to have read my comics in the first place and to think that I'm coming back to continue that series.

Nowadays, over at [url=http://linkoman.smackjeeves.com/]Linko Man[/url], I like to think that I'm better at page layouts and sprite comics. But that's just me.

Has any one noticed that every one here that's tried making their own forums cause they stoped liking these forums, ended up having their forums end up dead!!!!!!!

I think Iris once made a forum that's now long gone!!!

I didn't. I merely supported others who did.

REGARDLESS THEY ALL FAILED HAH.



Posted by Jesse Smith

Looks like you didn't support them enough!!! :D:D:D:D

****ty photoshop banners can bring a website only so far.




Posted by Iris

I remember making a silly invisionboard when we were still doing UGF crap. We called it GameBar, a play off the Gay Bar song, evidently. KoH decided to buy a vBulletin for it and then we abandoned it. Me, KoH, Musicman, and 007 Ninja were the admins.

It was pretty funny because back then KoH was always bugging me and flirting, and I got the honor of wasting his vB purchase.

I don't know! Every one is always beging for a new layout or new banners here...and da forums have lasted 11 years with no sign of giving up da ghost!!!! And that's with an insane wacko for an admin, and being hacked or deleted a few times!!!! (Bad Raptor da hackor, bad!!) :D:D:D

I think the thing that killed all the other forums was cause they were mostly forums, and didn't have a content site for visitors to come to to find the forums. I got a bunch of video game sites that got people to find the forums. Not to mention the now dead [url=http://www.world-of-nintendo.com/]World of Nintendo[/url] site that started it all!!! Back in the gold rush days of the internet, it was geting 1,500,000 pageviews a month, and one day it got 12,000 unique visitors, right after Christmas!!!!! :D

Now these forums mostly rely on search engines and the few visitors that find the links at my video game sites. er...one of these years if I stop being lazy I might do link marketing again and get links pointed here. That and search engines is exactly what I did in the 90s to get the [url=http://www.world-of-nintendo.com/]World of Nintendo[/url] site so populer back then.

Back in the good old days, after you submited a site to a search engine, depending on the engine, it could of been added in minutes (Infoseek), a day or two (Altavista), or two weeks (Yahoo). And you could contact the search engine asking to get some extra points in the listings. (I emailed infoseek and got pushed up to being listed #2 for 'Nintendo.) Those were the good old days!! :D:D:D:D

Ack!!! A non-wacko post!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:



Posted by Iris

Ah, if only you had enough dedication to generate activity again. We need new members, Jesse, our old ones are starting to smell.




Posted by Hyper

Haha. Gamebar. KoH wasted a good $200 on that and it never took off.

at least my investments brought months of happiness!




Posted by Klarth

I've never created a single terrible Geocities, Angelfire or [free forum service] site.

Nor have I ever owned a domain name or paid hosting, because I've never had the opportunity to maintain any of those things.

That's about to change! Watch this space.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I co-ran a Jedi Academy clan site and forum (hosted on Yahoo) that had 31 members at its peak. Not too shabby for a game with the ****tiest online community ever. :cool:




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I was given free space by my school to build and host a website for tech class. It was mandatory and shut down immediately after I got my grade, and I guess I didn't really own it, but that's the closest I ever got.




Posted by Ant

I think I tried to make an angelfire thing way back when. Don't remember if it was about anything...good times.

I used to update [URL="http://gameindex.proboards24.com"]this one[/URL] a few years ago and still do on occasion. It still manages to pull in around 100-250 unique visitors a day. And here's the first (and ugliest) site i made back in around 2001... http://www.geocities.com/nojoke69/Zhqremixed.html
