Loki Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Jumping off the back of that insane website, thread... What's the oldest still-working website that you have bookmarked? Â What hidden corner of the internet do you still have access to? Mine is this link from when I used to play Elite: Frontier back in 1999 or so, there were various websites about Elite and its sequels and this was one of them that I used to visit. http://www.planetmic.com/orbit/fe-pl.htm Amazingly still hosted although not updated in 15 years essentially.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted February 9, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2019 The UKFF dot com. Can’t believe I still use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted February 10, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2019 My homepage is still Yahoo, even though it's a bloated, unusable clickbaity mess these days. After that, it's probably the UKFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I just found a bookmark to an old ftp site containing a whole lot of The KLF media, it still works and was all uploaded in 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro Red Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I still read a couple of webcomics - PVP and Penny Arcade which I've had bookmarked since 99, Something Awful.com probably since probably 2000, and probably most embarrassingly.... LordsofPain.net since 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted February 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 I don't use bookmarks, ever. I type three letters of the url and the address bar auto completes for me. I don't go to a varied enough number of sites to need bookmarks in my personal life. Work, completely different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted February 11, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 11, 2019 I've changed computers many times since '99, and now I rarely keep any bookmarks at all, but I do vividly remember my first slew of bookmarks included the likes of StickDeath.com and SteakAndCheese.com. Because I was thirteen years old, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
