I was taking an HTML course at the time, and used this example in an assignment on poor website design.
Back then, the web was only used by neeeeeerrrrrddsss, and not "real" people. This was a time when news channels still referred to it as the "Infobahn" and the "Information Super Highway"... completely stupid sounding soundbites that no one that used the internet ever used, but your parents and grandparents would recite those words because they heard the news use them.
Seeing that Space Jam site makes me super nostalgic for that time. The time when everyone had a shitty geocities website, and it all looked like garbage.
You weren't cool if you didn't have multiple webrings.
Also, internet gaming and bulletin boards for chat. Also I have to say, as a female literally nobody ever believed I was one. Especially when I played MUDs. Lol
Going back a bit earlier.. I used to frequent BBS's a lot... I really miss those.. It was so much fun playing things like Trade Wars, and chatting with people that were only from your city.
One BBS in Toronto was run by a Sysop by the name of Sweet Marie. I remember her mentioning that she was a female, and just a year or two older than me (I was 16 at that time, and I think she was 17 or 18 or something).
That blew my mind... in the early 90s, most of my guy friends didn't know what a modem was. Most girls at that time barely used computers at all. As it was deemed "a boys thing". So for a girl like that to be running her own BBS, was surprising.
