Sometimes I think it's silly that so many social networking sites have limited design so much. Then I remember what the user-generated pages used to be like. MEIN EYES, THEY BLEED! |

And if for no other reason, it's why Facebook is superior to MySpace. The goggles, they do nothing! |

I was wondering why XKCD looked so strange this morning, but didn't have time before work to figure it out. /mourn Geocities and their "neighborhoods" |

Person A and Person B are playing a FPS. Person A calls Person B's roomate (Person C) and convinces Person C to use the microwave, disrupting Person B's wifi Person B's character then freezes on screen, allowing Person A to get an easy kill in game. |

Right, but what did that have to do with Geocities? |

The comic was unrelated, but the homepage was "redesigned" to mimic a typical Geocities page. It loses something without the garishly-animated background evident (as well as the scrolling Comic Sans text), but here's a screenshot: Attachment: geocities_XKCD.jpg [ 117.91 KiB | Viewed 2217 times ] |

I particularly like the dark blue text on black background. People did that kind of stuff all the time on geocities. Made it impossible to read. |
