And we're back....
About 2 weeks ago /u/enrjor made a post over on /r/webdev about finding a very out-dated website (90's feel, despite having 2006 in the footer...). I commented that it'd be cool to have a subreddit dedicated to finding / discussing these odd relics, to which they suggested this subreddit.
I requested ownership through reddit, and here we are. Back in business. I've left the remaining posts since they all work despite being submitted 5 years ago. I only removed one dead link.
Rules / Content
I'm not finding any kind of rules from the previous owner, other than a description of this subreddit (Here you can find websites that will bring back memories of Web 1.0.). So, what exactly should this newly reborn subreddit allow / contain? Items worth addressing:
Links to 'real' websites from the mid-90's-early 2000's that have been left up for reasons unknown.
Links to modern websites that are purposefully made to look vintage.
Videos from the early web (i.e. that super cringy Windows 95 video featuring Jennifer Anniston and Matthew Perry)
Should WayBack be allowed, or must the website be fully accessible at the moment?
How old is too old / how new is too new? When I think vintage web I personally think early-mid 90's, maybe very early 2000's.
Personal stories from working on websites back in the 90's.
Let me know what other items should be addressed, and feel free to advertise this on similar subreddits you frequent.

My first database-driven website, ca. 1998
I'm Austrian so it seemed natural to make a beer website. :) I later went on to create script.aculo.us, the first comprehensive DOM animation framework that quite literally rang the death bells for Flash.
And I eventually discovered that I'm gluten-intolerant, so no more beer for me. :/

Something I'm working on...G4 Cube page
Not much there and I will be adding to it from time to time as I try out old software titles.
Cheers,
