I can't believe this is how we used to make webpages...

Description:

Forget Myspace or Geocities... Neopets was the secret playground where kids experimented and learned web design in the early 2000s (at least for the kids who weren't allowed on MySpace lol). In this video, we’re exploring the forgotten world of Neopets guilds—the digital hideouts where fandoms, aesthetics, and HTML collided. From emo band fan clubs to Star Trek roleplay groups, these guilds were a beautiful mess of early graphic design experimentation.
