The word "webring" should have been a big red flag.

The OP date of Aug 17, 2002 is another Clue by Four.
I blame the thread necromancer ...

 

[Meteoric Assault]

Blame me all you want… TML died because of some of what went on in here.

There was so much creative energy back then and webrings did keep Traveller alive. From Gearheads to just simple articles people posted and shared ideas.

TML is dead!?! I'll have to tell them....

These days a welfare check is a dangerous thing. I hope they are doing okey in all seriousness

For me, Webrings and Amateur Press Association aka APA both bring back so many memories. A time and place I can never visit again, but they were so much fun.

 

[Marcatlas]

Wow, really brings it all back. IMHO the web was more fun back then.

I spent a lot of time going around the ring and hitting random sites. Sadly, the internet is fairly homogenized and in so many ways more limited than it used to be. The original intent was things like webrings and a lot of independent sites and things, now it is going through a few key players and a lot of the ingenuity and plain inventiveness of the earlier era have gotten swallowed up by all the templates now looking the same

I agree 100%. I remember learning just plane HTML and having a site. Pages for the different games I played as well as one for my favorite music and one dedicated to my car (1972 Chevy Chevelle Super Sport with a 402, god I miss that car too).

The internet was a very different place in the 80's for sure.

especially since the WWW was not available until the early 1990s!

edit: though the internet was but not in a user-friendly way at all. Not sure when usenet and similar boards were available

OMG I had a '69 Chevelle SS with a 396. Yellow w black vinyl top.

I had a 84 jeep pioneer…. Totally yuppie

Sorry, I should have said 80s to early 2000s I guess. I bought my first Apple computer in the 80s and a Hayes modem. I can remember at first you had to go to various Usenet newsgroups. But I admit I do not remember what year I got access to HTML so if you say it was the 90s, then forgive an old man his dim memory. I remember playing a lot of play on Compuserve somewhere in there as well as my own attempts to run games like Morrow Project and Twilight 2000. I also remember adding in a Joystick to try and use Apple paint and later to play a fighter jet game but again what year specifically, not sure anymore. All I do remember for sure is there was no FB, Twitter, Twitch and the toxicity was a lot less.
