I was there, and I am still there regularly because my projects on old hardware often require me to use web.archive.org and follow the resulting web of links.

Every time I was amazed how different it was back then. Dense, but cleanly presented information, including links to other high quality websites. Contributions presented as elaborate documents themselves instead of a few lines in a comment box.

Nostalgia is strong, but seeing the difference in front of me regularly, it’s obvious the modern web is missing what this had.
