Just hit 500 downloads on my old Geocities page
I had this silly little site back in '97 about my pet iguana, with a starry background and a midi file of the Macarena... It got maybe 10 hits total back then. I revived it on Neocities last month just for fun and somehow it's already got 512 visitors. Has anyone else had an old page take off way more than it ever did in the 90s?

Wait, macarena midi on a real page in 1997? That's incredible.

Man, 1997 was a wild year for the web. I remember finding a page from some college kid's personal directory that had a retro Macarena MIDI autoplaying on loop, it was pure chaos. @mason209, you hit the nail on the head about it being incredible, that kind of raw, dated charm is gone now. People put real effort into those ugly, homemade sites back then, not just templates. It makes you miss the weird creativity of the early internet, right?
