Tired of being on platforms and long for days when we all had web sites and pages.

Is there a way to have communication via personal websites. I miss being able to visit the many sites available when the web young and people were interesting.

I remember the rings. However is there a way to have a bit more functionality and be able to communicate via sites without cookie cutters platforms?

There was also a crude "email" system that allowed you to address messages to someone across the country, and the message would hop from BBS to BBS until it reached the recipient, so you didn't have to make a long distance call to a BBS out of state.

Indeed. At the time, I thought it was amazing you could get a "letter" from the US to Australia in 2-3 days. I made a purchase of a Lego model from a guy in AU, which was the first set I bought as an adult. Took so long to get here, I thought the seller had put it in a canoe, or something to make the trip acoss the pacific.

This is so pathetically morose, yet even though it is so pathetically morose, I feel obligated to leverage my substantial knowledge base and help in any way that allows you to spend more time away from here; and thus I give you the last two outposts of what was the webring, and what were geocities' 'neighborhoods':

• Neocities.com

Enjoy. Buh-bye!
