Nicely done Benfal. I almost shed a tear then realized I have none left after working in design for the past 15 years.

"Best Practices" is the enemy of innovation

its true that we were all experimenting a lot at that time. now everyone just try make their stuff fits the popular standards.
Also people have the attention span of a fish, we scroll and check stuff for 0,5sec and we are just looking to feed our brain with more and more. Back then, we were taking way more time to analyse websites we were visiting.

Yup. Now we get mass grids and generic WP templates that showcase "content". What bs. There is so little "content" out there worth looking at! I, for one, would much prefer the artistic splash and backgrounds, subtle/artistic animation and little content.
What we have now is an even more efficient consumer society, er, "content" consumption. Just blah websites selling more and more crap with a gazillion numbers to monitory ever click and glance.
Kinda reminds me of MTV's demise, too, for some reason.

It might have been a bit of a hot design mess back then, but at least it was creative and fresh. Now its a bunch of homogenized bullshit.
