I get the urge check on zombo.com every couple years and it makes me feel better when it loads. Like it’s my Inception totem, or something.
Welcome, to zombo com
The infinite is possible!
The unattainable is unknown at zombocom.
Yeah… It seems I missed this one somehow.
Were you extremely online between 2005 and 2012? If not, that’s why.
I mean, I’ve certainly been actively online since the 90s, including pre-internet BBSs and the like. I guess I just missed this one. Must of not been in any of the web rings I was a part of. 😏
That’s okay. Maybe you’re familiar with another meme level reference, 1 of the lucky 10,000. Web rings were like the coolest thing.
That’s one of my favorite XKCDs. 💜
And web rings were indeed cool. I had a number of websites at the time using them and even made some great friends through those associations.
Launched in 1999
Which is relevant, because it means zombo.com was launched near the peak of the dot com bubble (burst in 2000). Makes complete sense.
The dedication of operating the site for 26 years.
Makes me feel younger somehow, I thought it was older than that!
Extremely online since the 90s and I missed this one… Or saw it once and forgot it.
Man I used to spend hours on this site before modern social media came around
Also one of the very few non https sites that I can recall off the top of my head. I use it for testing on a semi regular basis.
That’s great. I use http://example.com/
