Gabby's Home 🏡

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Gabby's Home from... well, I couldn't figure out when it was created, but the last time it was modified was 2004 and it's hosted in WestHollywood the part of Geocities that talked about the LGBTQIA+ community. There is nothing else on this site other than this message here.

Well, she never came back to develop this site, so it's just one more to join the list of mysterious Geocities pages I've found. If someone wanna visit this site, here it is the link: https://geocities.restorativland.org/WestHollywood/3877/

Putri's Homepage 🛸

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Putri's Homepage from 1997 hosted in Área 51 the part of geocities that talked about sci-fi. This page was last modified in 2009 the year that Yahoo end with Geocities so probably the owner came back to this page just to gave one final look.

And no, the link to The X Files Official UK Home Page doesn't exist anymore but the link to About Me is, so I take a look and this is how looks like. It's funny to think that this person joking about been young in 1997 born in 1982, if alive nowadays, has 41 years.

Well, this was a short page and since is to be "The Most Boring Site You Have Been To" I think they page was simple but cool. If someone wanna visit this site, here it is the link: https://geocities.restorativland.org/Area51/1222/

Teo Family Page👽

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Teo Family Page from... well, I couldn't figure out when it was created, but the last time it was modified was 2001 and it is hosted in Area 51 the part of geocities that talked about science fiction even though this page has nothing to do with science fiction, except... Teo family is a family of aliens...

As you all can see, there's nothing else on this page other than this. This is from years before the creation of social medias, and the Teo Family create this for communicate with others things about the family... maybe things about how they, as aliens, are living among us. In any case, it's a mystery page from good old geocities that we will never know what was on this page. Unless some Teo Family member it's reading this and can share with us a username and a password to we have a look. Don't worry if you're aliens, I can guarantee your secret is safe with me lol. If someone wanna visit this site, here it is the link: https://geocities.restorativland.org/Area51/1222/

im so glad to see you posting again, hope you're doing well! :D i'm curious how you find these websites, and where you suggest to go when looking for them?

Hello! Yep I'm doing well, thanks for asking! 😊

Well, before creating this tumblr, my hobby of ~ The Archaeologist of the old internet is something I've been doing for about 3 years so here are my recommendations:

The places that I use to find the pages that I post here:

The Geocities Gallery: Is a project from restorativland and is the perfect place to find personal old pages that used to host in geocities from the 90's and early 00's.

404pagefound: It's a old project that begins in 2009 and apparently they don't have any update a few years (since 2017 from what I could find) but there's plenty of old random pages from 1994 until 2001.

Take a look at the links these old pages have. Yes, most are broken, but some are ok and can direct you to other old pages that are working until today and nobody changes their design for any reason I don't know. That's how I discovered Iflower🌻 for example.

Now, there are other places that I also use to find old stuff just for hobbie... and nostalgia of course lol

Wayback Machine: Probably the most famous museum of the internet and it's useful to search for old versions of a site, a blog or a page that you want.

GifCities: A project from the people behind the Wayback Machine, which is a museum of gifs used in pages from geocities. Not only this is very nostalgic but this gifs are linked to it original site so it's a form of discover old pages hosted in geocities too.

The community here in Tumblr are good in sharing old pages that they found so I recommend get a look at the tags like #old web #old webcore #internetcore etc.

BlueMaxima's Flashpoint: If you are looking for flash games and animations from 00's, the best place is this project.

Michelle's Page 📓

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Michelle's Page from... well, I couldn't figure out when it was created, but the last time it was modified was 2000 and it is hosted in Athens the part of geocities that talked about education, literature, poetry and philosophy.

On her pages there is music playing in the background, which in the past when we made blogs, websites and pages, it was very common to put a player with a playlist or just a song playing in a loop for any visitor who entered the blog. This also happened on the old blogs we did here on Tumblr.

And also if you click on "Michelle", a picture of her appears but I won't show it here because the Internet at that time was totally different from today to the point where it was super safe and normal to show a picture of you, your children, your family to who entered the page and that could be anyone. I don't know if Michelle is okay with this photo nowadays and I don't even know if she's alive.

One of the things about working with this nostalgic content is that it can also be content from someone who is no longer with us, so in any case we need to respect the identity of that person or anyone else that I show you, so I'm not going to show these photos that appear in these ancient pages.

A fun fact about me is that I love this mystery that these old internet people have. What is their story, if they are alive as they are today or not, how they lived their lives and so on. In this page there is no music playing.

No links are working so no fun? 😔

Let's see her poetry. I know it's hard to read because of the color of the letters and the background image on the page, so let me help you. Also in this page there is no music playing.

The first poem in this list is named The Journey from February 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Stairway to Heaven.

Next poem is named The Delta from March 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Captain of my Heart.

Next poem is named Seasons in a Day from April 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of I'm on Fire.

Next poem is named Hummingbird Time from April 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Daydream Believer.

Next poem is named Diamond in the Rough from April 1997, and is one of my favorities. In this page is playing a instrumental version of What's Forever For.

Next poem is named Whispers from April 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of It's Only Words.

Next poem is named The Writing on the Wall from May 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Sweet Dreams.

Next poem is named Simple Questions from November 1992. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Ain't no Sunshine.

Next poem is named Full Circle from January 1993. In this page is playing a instrumental version of I Started a Joke.

Next poem is named Sleeping Bear from May 1997. In this page is playing a instrumental version of Tears in Heaven.

Next poem is named My Cross to Bear from September 1997, which is also one of my favorites. In this page there is no music playing.

Next poem is named The Deed from September 1997. In this page there is no music playing.

Next poem is named The Sands of Time from October 1997. In this page there is no music playing.

Next poem is named A Rose in The Tundra from December 1997. In this page there is no music playing.

Next poem is named Sometimes from February 27, 1998... and is the last poem in the page. In this page there is no music playing.

Well, I only have these poems but it seems to me that Michelle is/was a sweet person and i would love to know if she wrote more poems besides these. Thank you Michelle for share your art 😊❤.

just recently discovered your blog, i find your posts really interesting!! it's so fun looking through these old sites :>

Aww thank you! Yeah, that old internet is part of my childhood and I don't see many people talking about it, which is a shame, so I created this blog to bring back those memories and for those who didn't live that time, may they have the chance to meet those old days

Andrew Loves Mallory 💘

Hello everyone! The old page of the day is Andrew Loves Mallory from 1998. This is a simple page with a declaration from Andrew to Mallory hosted in WestHollywood the part of geocities that talked about the LGBTQIA+ community.

There's literally nothing more, just the message that Andrew loves Mallory. Who are they?? Nobody's know. Also I think is funny that the page was last modified in my birthday lol. If someone wanna visit this site, here it is the link: https://geocities.restorativland.org/WestHollywood/1342/

CelebArt 🖼

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is CelebArt from 1997. What caught my attention on this site, is that it was created by a 15 year old teenager using photo effects and filters that are so common today, but back in the day it was really a new world to be discovered. It just reminded me of myself when I was 12, and I figured out how to put an orange light effect on my hand in a photo, and I thought it was so cool because it looked like I was manipulating fire and so I showed this to everyone I knew, I was very proud of my "art". So let's take a look in her "arts".

The first is her beloved one, Brad Pitt, like all the teenagers around me had him or other celebrities as a crush minus the weirdo here lmao.

I really find funny how this effects for us is so simple but for her it made Tom Cruise "sooo ugly" lol.

Oh she was nice to Jodie Foster and ended up putting just some stars in her face, unlike what she did to her beloved Brad Pitt.

Yeah, I really hope this person nowadays knows how to use the filters in Instagram and Snapchat to put any effects that she want in the face of Mel Gibson and any other person.

Ok in this one, I tryed to reload the page but there it's a bug in the original photo of Denzel Washington but afterwall this is a site from 1997 hosted in the Soho of Geocities, so it's a miracle we are seeing this page.

Also I really appreciatte that she took her time to explain and write something about these celebrities, like this page about Rene Russo and Kevin Costner.

I didn't finded what programs she used to do all of this but I really imagining her have a fun time doing this with Tom Hanks.

Now I want to know, what Jenny McCarthy did to you Rachael? Why you hate her so much?

Our tallentousy artist even receive a requested to put some effects in this picture of Ani DiFranco.

Others celebrities that she put some effects was Kirsten Dunst...

...Gillian Anderson...

...David Duchovny... yeah guys we need to remember that she made this in 97...

...and Gabriel Byrne that was also requested. And yes, I tried to enter in the pages of these people that requested but they no more exist along with others links that were in the inicial page of CelebArt.

That's it. I find really funny how she put like a simple effect of bricks in the photo and then was like "ooooooh myyy gooosh" because I did exactly this to with my photos and this bring back good memories of a time that won't come back, the time that tecnology was new and could impressed us all in the good way.

Iflowers🌻

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Iflowers from 1995 and it's been active since then, but keeping that old design from the 90's and early 00's sites!

Emails were used as a social network these days and these kind of virtual cards and flowers that we send each other, were very common. Do you remember that? Well, I'm going to focus on these website services:

It's free and you can choose from several flower options…

...virtual roses...

...more virtual flowers...

...studio collection...

...digital postcards...

...and cartoon cards

So the first step to send your virtual flower, is choose between all this options above

The second step is put your name, e-mail, recipient's name and e-mail

The third step is to select the subject of the virtual gift

My choice if anyone wanna know:

The fourth step is to write a sweet message to the person you are sending the gift to. This is my message:

And the fifth step is either pick a date or opt for immediate shipping, then send! Very easy huh?

The flower I chose was this one, just because I liked the duck

In addition, this site offers a subscription service to remind you, in your email, of dates that you don't want to forget.

If you guys want to send a virtual gift for someone, in a very old fashion way, here it is the link: https://www.iflowers.com/

Bananas For The Populace! 💛

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Bananas For The Populace! From... uh... well, I couldn't figure out what year the page was created, but in the archives, it says it was last modified in 1998.

(Tw: Contains metion of violence)

But before I show you the site, I know everyone want to see the banana from "A Banana", so here it is.

And also the banana from "Another Banana".

Now let's get to the site.

Not all links is working, so the only links that I will show you is "The Umbrella, Briefcase and Bowler Hat", "What To Do With A Stray Twit When You Find Him", "Sinister Jester" and "101 Things To Do With A Spare Chemist!". Let's start with "101 Things To Do With A Spare Chemist!", that is actually just 50... (tw: violence)

Ok I think that this guy hate some spare chemist 🤔 I go back to the other page and go to the "Sinister Jester". So I click in the "..."

And then I click in "whine"

And then, well I'm saying a lot of "and then" but... AND THEN, I was assured that the Corgi is okay, the Sinister Jester is an activisty for the animals and say no to violence against them 👍

Also if you wanna see what Queen's Prize Corgi (who, incidently, was called Foofoo Dennis McGrill), looks like, here it is:

So I go back to the mais page and go for the link "What To Do With A Stray Twit When You Find Him"

So on the list of what to buy for the lost twit, here is what the bright pink umbrolly looks like:

And if you buy the cowboy hat, this is how it looks like:

The last page I will show you, is the first link in the main page and the topic that make the stray twit uncomfortable, "The Umbrella, Briefcase and Bowler Hat".

This is how Bowler Hat (Version 1.0), Bowler Hat (Version 1.1) Patch, Bowler Hat 98 (with free browser) and Bowler Hat - Satanic Edition looks like respectively:

Stories of the Black Umbrella (tw: violence). This goes from 0 to 100 very quickly lol.

And the Beer from Things to Keep in your Briefcase:

The link to the rare artifact with mysterious properties (like the holy graal) is broken, so we never gone figure out what it is. 😔

We've reached the end of Bananas For The Populace, it was a really random and funny page. The link to this page is: https://geocities.restorativland.org/SoHo/2039/

Pray Before the Head of Bob! 🙏

Hello everyone, the old page of the day is Ask Bob from 1992!

Is pretty simple to use, you will ask some question that can be answer by Bob with "yes" "no" "maybe" "i don't know" etc. And than "ask Bob".

The answer in this case is yes, Bob like LGBTQIA+ people 🌟🌈

Then I explored possible answers to other questions. But we had a problem. I asked if it's going to rain tomorrow and then he basically said "I don't know, ask again".

BUT I don't know why this happens, when I ask again the same question I asked before he always gives me the same answer. Like, no matter how many times I ask, if the first time he answers was X, then he'll always answer X to that question. I decided to change the question to other topics, and he started to answer them all with basically "I don't know".

So I confronted him

And the answer...

So I asked...

Ok this was interesting. Bob, don't worry my friend, I promise I don't bite hahaha. But it makes me happy that even scared you like me lol

Well, this was fun, so here's the link for anyone that would like to ask Bob: http://www.resort.com/~banshee/Misc/8ball/index.html
