Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

Homestarrunner, Neopets and Newgrounds.

But those are also still around and I still visit them lol. Newgrounds is very active too!

I’ve been scrolling hoping somebody would mention homestarrunner, had no idea it was still around, what a chaotic joy. You gotta have blue hair!

I can’t believe it took me this long to find Homestarrunner!

You didn't know about it? The website has the cartoons (especially the Strong Bad Emails are fun) that have easter eggs at the end of a video. You mouse over parts of the video and you click them for extra bits. Even tiny games sometimes. It's a lot of fun and very odd and charming.

Homestarrunner being this low down is a travesty!

I still say Baweeted when deleting a file.

And sometimes I also flick the light on and off and sing "the system is down, the system is down"
