2003page post-post-mortem

Today marks the 7th year anniversary of the launch of 2003page. It has been a long time, so long in fact that I am no longer in contact with any of the people who contributed to it. The last people dipped out in 2024. I don't even remember most of the site. All I know is that it had an insane amount of petty drama to the point that there was a splinter site called RetroSite by JarHead. Yes, the same one that's involved with reviving WebTV. RetroSite still exists in some form, but it has since become his personal site. 2003page on the other hand died right around the start of 2021, a few weeks before squareBracket's original PokTube launch.

The last time someone gave a shit about this website was in 2023 when a then-future stalker of mine discovered the website while searching for a certain person's name on GitHub. I recall they were obsessed with it and tried to revive it two times to little success. And then they discovered me a year later over drama related to a squareBracket splinter site. That was definitely something.

I did briefly consider reviving 2003page at some point, but it just doesn't make sense anymore. Neocities is already a thing and I'd prefer not having abandoned decrepit sub-sites that were last touched over half a decade ago.
