I'm a little puzzled by the name, since it seems to be more about vintage computer hardware than the web. Or I guess maybe it's like a mini-web about retro things? Idk

[–] CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Old school websites were often called "webs". Its synonymous with "site". So it just means "retro [stuff] site"

Maybe because it is about the retro web era. Or Web 1.0 and the hardware that existed during that time. I don’t know just speculation.

Fun to dig around a bit!!! Hoped to find my old ATi 9700 card from MSI on there, but only found the chip :(
