This website finds earlier builds of various websites, pretty cool.

Here is a very early build of halflife2.net, looks like it's right after the website launched.

Back when websites were functional and not filled to the max with bullshit to slow down your browser and load slowly. Hell I remember some sites on 56k that loaded as fast as some do on broadband nowadays. I wish webmasters and news sites still appreciated that. I dont need 3 videos on every page and animations/popouts everywhere.

Websites are still functional. And CNN.com 2011 is hardly filled with bullshit. There's just more images representing the news, and there's more usage of cascading style sheets with a better website design.

Also old designs like the cnn 2001 wouldn't really stand up today as far as design is concerned. It's also a news site, why wouldn't you want easy access to news articles and news footage?

Sometimes I miss the days before everything had it's own wiki.. they are super useful, but they lack that certain.. personal touch that the net used to have.

I miss VERC, reading the articles, and the forum posts.
