@ocean thanks for the heads up there's a few sonic sites from way back in the day that I have no idea if the original owners even care about them anymore but I've already lost so many pieces of my childhood...

@ocean @gothpanda the days of my first ever website https://zim.tripod.com/index.htm are numbered. And wow it's way more broken than it was just a few months ago. Good thing I ripped it years ago. (I guess)

@ocean@wordshaper Thank you.Investigating a scammer last year led to many lycos emails and a bunch of these sites. I need to archive everything, praying I can find those again.Oh shit.Aaaaaaand their tripod sites are gone:Link to one of their frozen steaks scam site from 1998 that was still online a few months back.https://alfordman.tripod.com/This is unfortunate, these scam artists still operate today... Similar, but different schemes of course.

@ocean A lot of the 90s and early 00s free web hosting sites quickly proved they were worth their price. Had multiple sites taken down when they just went belly up or deleted my account for no explanation. Geocities lived the longest out of the ones I used before I actually started to pay for hosting.

@r000t @ocean They only list one staff member. It's probably some boomer who bought the trademark. Many such cases. Linspire and Xandros come to mind. https://info.lycos.com/about/management-team/

@ocean I barely remember that domain. That's one of those free website hosts, right? For small business card websites?
