ok so I'm taking a digital culture class this semester and my professor pointed us to this directory for a project. I spent like 3 hours just clicking through old geocities-style shrines?? Like people made entire websites dedicated to one specific anime character or a single video game and they're SO lovingly put together. The blinkies, the custom cursors, the under construction gifs. It hits different from everything being on the same 4 platforms now. Bookmarking this forever ^_^

I just spent like two hours clicking through links on here and I regret nothing!! :D Found so many cool personal sites I never would have found otherwise. I only started my own neocities page a few weeks ago and honestly discovering directories like this is what keeps me motivated to keep building it. Bookmarked SO many pages tonight. Thanks for putting this together ^_^

OK so I just spent like two hours clicking through this directory and I found a whole bunch of hand-coded anime shrines!! Like actual SHRINES with custom dividers and midi music and those little pixel dollz in the corner!! I literally had a Sailor Moon shrine on Geocities back in like 2001 and seeing these made me SO happy I almost cried lol. Some of them still have working guestbooks too!! This directory is amazing, thank you so much for putting it together!!!

I pulled my kids over to look at this with me and they couldn't believe websites used to look like this lol. My 10 year old was like "why is everything blinking" =D This directory is SO fun to browse through. We've been clicking around for like an hour finding all these little personal pages people made. It reminds me of staying up late on our family's first computer just surfing random homepages. Thanks for keeping all this together :) Kids are actually into it!!

honestly link pages and webrings were the BEST way to find cool stuff. you just clicked through and suddenly you're on some stranger's page about moths or vintage synths and your whole afternoon is gone. algorithms could never. i still maintain a links page on my site and people act like its weird but whatever, curation by actual humans beats a feed any day. glad directories like this one still exist, keep it going!!

Found this directory last night and spent like 3 hours just clicking through sites. Every page has actual personality, you know? No tracking scripts, no cookie banners, no 400kb of minified JS just to render a paragraph. Just HTML and someone's genuine thoughts. Social media turned us all into content creators performing for algorithms. I miss when the web was just people making weird little pages for fun because they wanted to. This directory rules, bookmarked immediately. :) Keep it going ^_^

Just got my first page up last week and I've been clicking around here for hours. Found a whole ring of sites dedicated to collecting screenshots of old geocities neighborhoods?? I had no idea people were preserving that stuff. So cool.
Date: April 21, 2026
oh man a GUESTBOOK. i havent signed one of these since like 2003. this genuinely made my day. i build websites for a living now and every day i fight the urge to throw react in the trash and just write plain html like we used to. no build step, no node_modules folder the size of a small planet, just index.html and vibes. bookmarking this whole directory, gonna be clicking through these links all night. thanks for keeping this alive!!

I'm writing a paper on personal web culture for my digital media class and honestly this site is making me wish I grew up with geocities. So glad people are building their own pages again instead of just posting on the same three apps.

honestly what got me into the old web was stumbling onto a geocities archive like 3 years ago. i make collages and illustrations irl and something about those sites just clicked for me visually?? the tiled backgrounds, the visitor counters, the way ppl just threw stuff on a page with no regard for "design rules". its so much more alive than anything on modern social media. anyway this directroy is amazing, ive been clicking thru links for like 2 hours lol. ty for putting this together!!

Pulled this up on the living room TV to show my kids what websites looked like when I was their age. They think it's hilarious that we used to decorate our pages like bedrooms. Now my 9 year old wants to make one!

Honestly webrings and link pages were the BEST way to find cool stuff online. You'd click one link and end up falling down a rabbit hole of someone's geocities page about their cat, then a midi archive, then a whole site about urban legends. No algorithm could ever replicate that feeling of just stumbling onto something weird and wonderful. So glad directories like this one still exist!!

Oh my gosh, I haven't signed a guestbook in probably 20 years! I'm showing my kids what the internet was like when I was their age and they cannot believe we used to do stuff like this. They think it's weird but honestly I'm getting a little emotional about it lol. This site is wonderful, thank you for keeping the spirit alive!

OH MAN this site takes me BACK!! I remember being 12 years old staying up way too late on dial-up, hand-coding my first homepage in Notepad!! I had a black background with green text and like 47 animated GIFs of flames LOL!! My mom yelling at me to get off the phone line!! I spent HOURS just viewing source on other people's sites to figure out how they did stuff!! That was the BEST way to learn!! This directory is amazing, thank you so much for keeping the spirit alive!!!

honestly webrings and link pages were the BEST way to find cool stuff online. like someone curated a list of sites they actually liked and you could just click through and find weird gems all afternoon. now everything is behind an algorithm that shows you the same 5 websites. i miss when discovery was human and not optimized. also link pages are literally just anchor tags and thats beautiful. no npm install needed lol. glad directories like this still exist, keep it going
Date: April 11, 2026
Love this directory so much! I've been running my rock and mineral collecting page since 2021 and honestly it's so much more fun than posting on Instagram where nobody sees anything unless you game the algorithm. Here I can just make a page about agates and someone who actually cares about agates will find it. That's the whole internet I fell in love with back in the day. Bookmarked!

followed a link here from somebody's geocities-style page and wow, i've been clicking around for like an hour now. there's something so nice about websites that are just... someone's html and maybe a few gifs? no frameworks, no javascript bloat, just a person who wanted to put something on the internet. this directory is such a good resource, bookmarked immediately. thanks for putting this together
