@marrus_sh In 1998 the Internet consisted of GeoCities sites, Angelfire sites, bored college students nuking Marshmallow Peeps in the microwave and Newgrounds

@marrus_sh The GeoCities and Angelfire sites were DBZ and Sailor Moon webring members with visitor counters at the bottom of the page reading something like "2000 visitors! Wow!"

They would also have a splash page before the website proper asking if you wanted Frames or No Frames
