    Behold, a web site that is just as sad and outdated as the character in the show it is promoting.

    I think the show takes place circa 2001, so this sort of website was probably pretty classy for the time.

    We were both around at that time, and even then sites that looked like this were terrible. Heck, I'd rather use a BBS from the 80's than look at that for more than a few minutes :D.

    I thought I remembered 2001 like it wasn't 14 years ago. This occurred to me when I discovered that ice9 is still a functional robot involved in something called the ching chong group.

    Not even kidding.

    Never mind, THAT web site is a nightmare to navigate. Better Call Saul's web site is hilarious but still full of clear designer intent.

    Wow, so that's what that fellow's been up to hmm? Neat, though I'm still at a bit of a loss as to exactly what it is they do.

    The ONSP has been up for 15 years, 6 months, and 11 days.

    there are kids in high school right now who weren't alive when I last updated that dumb site. Somebody kill me.

    Dumb site?! That is a vital and important web site meant to deliver a single and universal truth: Nintendo sucks.

    Haha, you know though, I don't think I really believed it. I just liked the thrill I got out of constructing what I was sure, at 17, was the bulletproof argument. Among the best was "FF8 will be the best game ever!!!!" I liked the thrill of inconsequential internet combat. I liked the people who participated. And I liked building a website, though my skill in that regard pretty much peaked here.

    I get an Angelfire error when I try to view the ONSP. That makes me very sad, a fly marrying a bumblebee

    I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me!

    Yeah, it's weird. It loads, and then goes out. If you stop your browser before that, you can still see it.

    It's cool that site still exists, but it's too bad that the '99-early '03 Tendo/Rumble City archives don't, those would be so cool to see again...
