AshesFromStars

1. Websites had version numbers in the titles - like AshesFromStars.com version 26 - punkrawk!
2. Everybody had plugboards in their sidebar?
3. We all felt rather ?
4. It was mighty important to tell your visitors what you were currently wearing, drinking, eating, watching, thinking…
5. Greymatter and Bravenet guestbooks ruled the ‘net
6. Speaking of sidebars, why did we have them 100px wide with 6pt justified text? Or was that just me?
7. Scrollbars were coloured to match layouts, especially when they were for an iframe
8. exotic backgrounds included black and white grid boards and punky photoshop brushes yanked from LiveJournal icon communities.
9. We didn’t use words for navigation, preferring to use 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 with no title tags instead.
10. TodaysDomainOnline.com was the place to plug your site?

Needless to say, I just found one of my old websites and cringed.

For example:
reviews.chemical-69.org
hellodarling.org
sparkling-stars.co.uk

I will go silently and die of embarrassment now.
