I was just looking something up on caddyserver.com, which is not a retro website by any means. But, when I got to the very bottom of the page, I saw some classic browser buttons that I haven't seen in a very long time. And a hit counter, too! It made me smile.

God that brings me back to middle school computer classes and hacking together your own websites with basic HTML.

Same here. Thinking about that class just now, I remembered the name of one of the sites that we were told to use to find GIFs and animated buttons. I think it was called "animation factory."

Well there is an https://www.animationfactory.com/ and it has exactly the types of GIFs I was thinking of. More classics right there.
