Let’s bring back ytmnd while where at it
Was about to say Zombo.com too but then I remembered it's actually still up after all these years.
Damn I just went there. Is there an end to the Ugandan knuckles voice over?
The joke back then was you'd give the link to a friend and watch them sit there for 5 minutes looking at the neverending "loading" screen. A ton of (what were then new) flash based websites overused it and loading screens were common, so people expected to wait a bit before everything was loaded in. Everything beyond simple static HTML was done with plugins and applets.
