spottoI was bored and wondered if my super old website from long long ago still existed. Most people's super old websites from long long ago do not exist anymore, if only because they were on Geocities and Geocities is now closed. (NOO!) There were a few good oldschool sites on Geocities that I will sorely miss. :C I also had some extremely old websites on Geocities before...but they are gone.
First, let's start off with something very nostalgic.
THE HAPPY NEKO TOWN FORUMS STILL EXIST!
This is thanks to invisionfree never deleting its forums. Alas, I believe the old forums...before the invisionfree ones, that is...no longer exists. :C Oh well, it's mostly silly memories of BIFF being (well mostly me) incredibly silly and immature. I can still remember the password to the protected forum too, and if you are also a true BIFF, so would you. (Well okay, it's pretty understandable if you forgot it, actually.)
Now to something even older that is embarrassing but still exists on the internet so people I know can laugh at what an idiot I was when I was younger.
What an appropriate URL!
That's right! My old Rei shrine. I am incredibly amazed that this still exists, including its older layout-version (Version 2! I believe) as well. Oh yeah I was one of those who truly enjoyed using frames and iframes, and not even coding them properly. (Although, as far as I remember I bet I probably didn't code any of them, lol) Oh right, Rei being God....yeah. Okay. Whatever, uh....let's move on!
There is another site of mine that also still exists! This time from the gaming side of my life, it is a clan site....
Of course it still exists, the css is hosted on this webhost!
So thanks to having some of my stuff hosted on sites that did not die, these survived! I will now list other notes of survival by digging around my own hard drive. By the way, that doesn't mean I DIDN'T lose anything. I lost stuff from the Geocities closing (they emailed the email I never check, sob) and from freewebs, apparently despite my friend's super old site from 2004 still existing there. Even then, I also have a few sites lost from various other webhosts, though there is a possibility they still exist and I just can't remember their URLs.
But what else exists!? Why, old layouts I created for this very blog itself! I don't have them ALL obviously...I still remember this really old one, a Beyblade one I can remember, of Rei, on the left of this content box, with red fancy 2004-era effects on the bottom. If you had a resolution any higher than 800x600, it looked like crap. I was however a moron and all rebelling against anything higher than 800x600 back then, thinking that a resolution like that was evil. Take it what you will.
I still have these, however.
The oldest screenshot I got of super old LJ from four years ago! This is the only non-Negima themed layout I seem to have screencapped and/or saved. Unfortunately besides this one, the "screenshots" I have are not really screenshots, but instead the headers of every layout because I was stupid and never actually saved a screenshot of anything.
This one somehow survives to this day, and I do not know how actually. The 800x600 resolution clearly means it was taken on my old old computer, long long ago. I never backed up anything on that, so this is one of the rare remnants of that computer.
This is my first Negima layout. I still remember painstakingly extracting them from their background, and now that I think about it could've used their image much more efficiently than how I did so here. It's still an awesome image though. P: It was also quite big for my resolution, to see any content at all you'd have to scroll down.
Beyond the first one I'm a little iffy at the chronological order of my layouts. This one was created quite quickly, considering its simplicity. It was also small, unlike the first one and so you didn't have to scroll down to see the first bits of content. The little chibis came from Negima!? (as did the image above) ...and yeah. That's all I have to say. This is the only time Chisame managed to get on my layout too.
Real people on my layout always felt weird to me, and while this one was alright, while I had this layout I was trying to figure out what to change my LJ to. You know I don't have set layouts I create and change. I do have some scrapped ones I started on but never finished that were meant to replace this one and several others. Oh look I used the same star in both layouts.
This is one of my favourite layouts. These last two are actually related to fanfics I've been writing. Anytime I find images I could use on a layout I always try to create one. Case in point these PS2 screenshots of a Negima game. I found the wedding scene rather cute, so I threw them in a layout. The game has that part in a dream, so this only made sense. Then the banner was wrapped in sukas, and we have a pretty good layout, in my opinion.
This one is probably one of my most favourites, though its drawbacks have to be how goddamn tall it was. I found the blurry bars in behind rather effective, though while I was creating it I was actually frustrated at the bars, not looking like how I wanted them to. Lol. The art is by Aoi-dono, and it was nice to have an image source not from official art for once. I like how she sticks out of the banner, lying her arm on the content box P: . I just realized this is the first layout with Sayo there to accompany Kazumi. Well it only makes sense since she's dead in the story its based on.
At the time of this writing my current one looks like this:
And it is indeed my favourite of them all, if only because it doesn't rely on a giant eyecatching picture and has quite the pleasing (and different) colour scheme. I put this here too because likely I will change my layout eventually again. Change is always good after all.
That is all from me :D
One MORE thing:
NEGIMA-HETALIA MAD.
I wouldn't care NEARLY as much for this MAD if Hong Kong didn't take Yuuna's place, and Korea didn't take Kazumi's place. That seems quite the coincidence. (Not so much with Korea, personality-wise it makes sense!)
And now for me to stop uselessly linking fandoms together!
Note: The MAD is unfinished. I wonder who they're gonna end up kissing...
