I played the "guess what it's going to be about before clicking on it" game with this item, and lost badly. I won't spoil the fun, but only remark that this site is neither about [1] a melon farming business, nor [2] a certain famous man with autocratic tendencies whose handle in "last-initial first" format would be "melon".
I feel a bit warm and fuzzy inside when the forum (and the guestbook) seem reasonably active even if they're hidden under a rock. It's a treehouse kind of vibe.
Pretty cool. Nice to see iframes, don't think I've seen those in a long long time. Also very good that the forum has a post your desk thread[1], very 2005 internet of them. One thing I can't figure out, are these old people who lived old internet or young people who have recreated old internet for themselves to live? Either way, cool site.
I ran into one of these neo-geocities-style websites in the wild when telling my friend about a trendy pizza place I liked. Even the EN-FR switch is animated:

The entire world wide web used to be just like that, back in the Good Old Days of teh Internets, or so I'm told.
