Why use a tripod? https://www.catherinebabault.com/blog/2026/5/6/why-use-a-tripod

TIL that in 2001, my old tripod.com site was hacked.

I was looking up my old site, because I was trying to remember an old #freeware #DOS game that I used to play that never got past the demo stage.

And after I looked up my site on the #WaybackMachine, this popup came up. And while I wasn't above putting joke popups, this is not my style at all. I took my site very seriously!

I must have had a third party hit counter or something that was compromised. The 2004 capture doesn't seem to show it and I later migrated to my uncle's domain (when he complained about my site trying to install a dialer on his computer), before abandoning the site completely after a few years. Man, it took me 25 years to find out my website had been hacked. Nooooooooo! I still have the html files I think, so I'll look up my code.
