retroNET - Vintage Culture/Websites/Software

The past few years I've been disgusted with the internet. Rediscovering small sites has made me love it again!

The Sonic Adventure site is my favorite, especially the blog.

We look at a BBS platform called Impulse. Popular with underground boards in the 90s, we try to bring it back with a modern twist.

Yes, this is the same WordStar that George R.R. Martin uses to write Game of Thrones!

In the 1980s, years before the World Wide Web, a virtual online community emerged called the Well (the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link). Centred on the San Francisco Bay Area of California, the Well not only thrived in its own right, but proved to be one of the most influential factors in the birth of the internet as we know it today. And its long life was in large part thanks to fans of the Grateful Dead.

A modern revival of an old game.

We are excited to announce a new version of GifCities, Internet Archive’s GeoCities Animated GIF Search Engine!

https://gifcities.org/

The new version of GifCities includes a number of new improvements. We are especially excited at the drastic improvement in “GifSearchies” by implementing semantic search for GifCities, instead of the hacky old “file name” text search of the original version.

This news makes me want to dance!

Why not post your favourite Geocities GIFs below?

I was just looking something up on caddyserver.com, which is not a retro website by any means. But, when I got to the very bottom of the page, I saw some classic browser buttons that I haven't seen in a very long time. And a hit counter, too! It made me smile.

Hey all, I've been hunting for a discontinued software for Nikon cameras. Its Camera Control Pro, not the second one or tether as those are not compatible with my camera.

Could someone point me in the direction to get this retired software please? Thank you
