The place to discuss "Retro Communities" like BBS, Fido-Net, Metrolink, Doors games and old forums/technology and even ANSI art.

“Retro Communities” is not just about old technologies, it’s also about the “feel” of those older communities. Text walls are allowed, asking questions is encouraged. Making a mistake is not a tragedy. You are welcome here!

It's absolutely unreal how influential Netscape was in popularizing the web and really the entire Internet. Before Netscape, there was no https, no Javascript, no rendering on the fly, no cookies. I mean two of those were not the greatest inventions, but you can't deny how influential they were in setting the standard.
