Talk about rose-colored glasses and "the good ol' days". All I can remember are the animated gifs flash and spinning around on people's pages...

That's what I miss. Some level of personality is desperately missing from modern alternatives.

True, but it was all quite harmless. Today's perfectly designed web sites are made by folks who know exactly how to make you addicted to the algorithmic feed and whatnot.

Ah, MySpace, I think I made thousands of custom MySpace themes, hacking their complete lack of html escaping to change the layout. I wonder if they'd stil allow that same level of jankiness

As a MySpace fan, I don't want it back at all. Can we stop this rehashing of memories and come up with something new?

Great for its time, but with the way the internet is, will just turn in to another toxic echo chamber.

Next up: Toy Story 7, Andy finds a Sinclair ZX Spectrum in the attic and its missing its 16kb expansion module called Chippy.

It's not for you or me - it's for the AI companies so that they can have "human" content (good luck with that).
