I remember Planet Source Code. I used the snippets when I was trying to build a Pong game in VB6 when I was in my teens, it was a good resource for inspiration.
Oh man I loved psc as a teen. They had a monthly contest for who gets the most upvotes for their submission. You could win a CD containing a collection of psc submissions. Just wanting to win made me grind day and night. I would check new submissions every few hours and check up on what others where up to. Fun times. Also VB6 was a blast, and the psc community felt like one big group of equally minded people. My favourite thing to do was to hack VB6 internals and make the language do things it wasn't made to do.

VB6: What made a generation fall in love with programming.
No idea what I had but was a mix from php clan roasters to coldfusion video streaming tools.
The essence of download, run configuration script and use is so rigid now.
I still remember seeing a post with 'XP style' buttons for VB6 that I used on a Windows Server 2000 application and thought it was the bees knees.
Another I recal was a PSC code scanning tool, written itself in VB6.
Happy happy times.
