I remember back in 1994. There was actually better quality content back them. Think of half the sites being Ian's Shoelace Site. People that are just really into something and make a site about it. Static HTML sites that were fairly cheap to run. I had a site about all the special tricks in Tony Hawks Pro Skater. It was simple HTML and I got a ton of hits (this was later in 1999). No ads, I just loved the game.

There was better quality in 1994 than there is today? Wow!

So is that site still up? If not, why did you stop? Too much effort to keep it running?
