http://www.psoquest.com

We have finally regained the domain after losing it to a domain sniper several years ago after the site closed down and have for now restored the old tribute page. We are currently looking into creating some memorial pages and possibly restoring some odd snapshots we have of the original site, but sadly none of us who worked on PSOQuest (http://www.psoquest.com) have a backup of the original site anymore.

If you have any parts of the site saved (even if its just images) I would be extremely grateful if you would contact me. Also if you were a member of our old forums leave a message and perhaps you may get mentioned in a possible memorial page, even more so if you have snapshots of PSOQuest (http://www.psoquest.com) members that you can donate to us.

You also may remember me from a 2008 Christmas video I produced on PSU and if so please say hi!

If you haven't already checked it out, Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/web/web.php) may have a few of the things you are looking for. I was able to pull up several pages (some with images) and it may be worth looking at. Bare in mind the site loads slowly at times.

Heh, I agree. I actually miss all those old Geocities\Angelfire\etc. sites with incorrectly sized/pixelated/non-transparency-having images haphazardly placed all over the place and lots and lots of animated gifs lol. Frames were the in thing for awhile before css really took off. Good times!!! :-P

- Guestbooks
- Hit counters
- Top "whatever" Site vote portal

- Scroll wheel CSS (ironically catching on before the rest of CSS)
- Gifs as background (Seriously, why was this ever a good idea?)
- Comet cursor (I hate you if you did this)

Wow I nostalgia'd. Hard. I miss the 90's/early 00's of web design/internet pop culture.
