    There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this.

    I've wondered before who is paying the upkeep on that.
    Thought I posted it in the old thread, but not sure.

    Some members who stayed behind. They're still answering emails. There were a few reddit threads about it a few years ago:
    https://old.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/3kx3nm/ama_request_heavens_gate_web_admin/
    https://old.reddit.com/r/creepy/comments/3kvdia/heavens_gate_still_answers_emails_18_years_after/

    Screwtape posted it. Before I joined though.

    Planet Emulation is still around, serving classic RAWMz behind their "antileech" system (one-time use links, etc.)

    But hey, no obnoxious/intrusive/spyware-laden ads! In fact the only ads they have are for some guy selling mini-arcades, and the link doesn't even redirect to a website, but to a email address. They also do not serve ROMs for Nintendo systems except for the NES and SNES, or for any system released (and discontinued) in this century AT ALL. How '90s, yo.

    Also, this one: http://toastytech.com/
    His anti-MS rants are amusing, but I guess he lost all hope in GUIs after the Post-PC Era™ hit.
    The GUI gallery on his site is a must-visit for anyone that actually cares about developing software that isn't a eyesore for users looking to be productive.

    He's still updating it, so I don't think he's given up. He even gives it some well-deserved praise.

    His anti-MS rants are amusing, but I guess he lost all hope in GUIs after the Post-PC Era™ hit.
    The GUI gallery on his site is a must-visit for anyone that actually cares about developing software that isn't a eyesore for users looking to be productive.

    He removed some stuff over the years - there used to be some anti-IE/MS propagandic banners of more offensive kinds (with Nazi symbols and the likes), the wording in general has been toned down a bit in places, and there used to be Doom MIDIs plastered all over the page which in all honesty I find fucking hilarious.

    I guess for the first two he realised the modern day Internet don't take too kindly to usage of certain words or usage of historical symbols regardless of context or the time they were written; so sanitised the pages somewhat to avoid Twitter/Discord users giving him shit for no reason... as for the removal of the DOOM MIDIs (and not just simply replacing them with MP3s) I imagine the fact literally nothing allows autoplaying audio anymore can be to blame for that.

    Nathan Lineback hasn't submitted himself to the PC police yet!

    1) The guy has not removed that much, if anything. I don't remember having ever seen anti-IE/MS banners with Nazi imagery, tho (and I've been visiting his place for nearly two decades!), but you need to take a look at its rants/opinions page to see that he hasn't toned down his opinions AT ALL - it anything he has gotten more blunt/acid since the smartdevice age started with full force because he has just grown highly disappointed with modern tech, just like me.

    2) Didn't noticed he finally got rid of the <BGMUSIC> tags that no modern browser supports anymore :/ (and yeah, people abused of autoplaying crap so that's what we can't have nice things anymore). At least his site still targets old browsers (no HTTPS sekuritah theater, broken HTML that won't validate ever, absolutely NO JS, minimal CSS)

    3) The guy does not use social media, much less any of those Javashit social crapps (aka Discord, which nobody should use either), so I'm not sure why he should cater their site towards ToS that won't even apply to him...

    It's funny. I found Toastytech offline just when I wanted to find and share something from the GUI section, and now here it is on a new server.

    CTRL+F for "I am getting sick and damn tired of that "get IE 5.0" banner on CNET, so here is my response."

    Kinda wonder if he removed it for any specific reason.

    @tomman: Thanks for the link, I must have been blind not to have found that...

    Ooooh, interesting. I guess that he got one of the following:

    1) Some German user concerned that Nazi imagery may get his site banned in Germany.

    2) Some PC asshole bitching about "OMG UR A NAZI!!!"

    However, those Nazi banners weren't the only ones removed (there is another, a "Gates is Hitler" button): look for "Get Microsoft Internet SHIT - With a picture of IE 4 in its natural state.", and that one is gone too from the current page. But he also changed fonts and got rid of the background red image sometime around 2011, where said anti-IE "nazi"/"shit" banners were silently removed too (and the page has stayed that way since). Others were rearranged, and a single instance of "fuck" got censored.

    However, the Copyright Mouse™ button is still there, and I consider Disney to be as dangerous as nazis, so I wonder why that one still survives...
