Tell us who you are, why you're here, and what you're all about!

I'm bonkmaykr, and I'm coming to get you.

i am pelleohlin, yet my avatar's name is Fangus! I'm here to keep worlds.com alive with my chatter and cool dancing. AND EVERYONE ON WORLDS.COM WILL LOVE SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ONE DAY.

Oh hey, wasn't sure if there was a thread for this yet, cool.

I'm mariteaux (or Cammy if it's available on sites), and that's a link to my temp site. I joined because I saw Worlio in my linkbacks on Google Search Console after my friend dcb joined and it seemed like a cool little forum. I don't really have much interest in the virtual worlds thing, but I like old websites and archival/restoration efforts on those. Recently I've been working with Protoweb to rebuild some sites from Wayback grabs, CGI scripts and all.

Outside of all that, I collect 90s rock albums on CD and draw animal people sometimes.

Looks like we have a bit in common :) I love your website by the way.
I've been collecting a lot of metal and electronic in my own disc collection but I've thrown some variety in there too. I've got a couple Discogs orders on the way actually. Thanks for your work on Protoweb!

Thank you! It's just a collection of stuff while I put off working on the design for the real one, but it's a nice mix of things to look through, I think.

Ooh, what's your Discogs? I'd love to look through your collection if you've got it catalogued--here's mine, and also my wantlist, which is still a mess. I'm gonna have like, over 400 CDs when I get through it, and close to 600 albums total in my library.

It's still a pretty fresh collection but I'm slowly building it
https://www.discogs.com/user/bonkmaykr/collection. A good chunk of it is electronic so far but I'm trying to expand a bit

Currently hunting for Labyrinth's discography. I've got Architecture of a God showing up in the mail soon.

Is it private? I just get a 404 when I click that.

You gave me the idea.
As much as I delve into those topics and they are the primary focus, I'm open on anything oldnet. Websites, games, chats, communities, you name it. My interests lean towards the gimmicky but fun programs of the day, and 3D virtual worlds are a treasure trove IMO.
Hah. Nerd forgot to unprivate his discogs collection. His music tastes remain in secret.

Oops! I fixed it now. My wantlist should be unprivate now too


I wouldn't call it a good representation of my taste, really. I have a few random ones in there too that I got because some sellers have a minimum purchase value before you're allowed to checkout. I think I've got one CD in there that's just "healing music", haven't ever listened to it.

I've got a last.fm tracking all the way back to 2021: https://www.last.fm/user/bonkmaykr/library/artists

Neat!

Yeah, they are super neat to see, people thinking of the future of presenting information that early on--just nothing I have a ton of experience with. Most I've done is read a bunch about VRML.

I used to have a last.fm way back in the mid-2010s. It'd probably be easier now that I do a lot less mobile listening, but it was such a hassle trying to get everything scrobbled from my iPod, or even just listening to CDs and manually scrobbling them with a website. I had a grab of all my data from that account before I closed it, but I don't know if I still have it (I lost a ton of data in 2019 and that was the day I resolved to never buy another Apple product ever again--not that I bought that Mac, but still). If I recall, my top albums at the time were Smashing Pumpkins' Gish, Blur's self-titled, and Silversun Pickups' Swoon and Pikul. I think "The Fuzz" from Pikul was my top track of all time by the time I quit.

Edit: I see Underworld. Good shit. I don't listen to them often, but every time I put on dubnobass and Second Toughest, I'm reminded of why I liked 'em in the first place. I'm not super experienced with electronica outside of a few stray things friends have recommended me, but I could definitely go for more of it.

I'm JustAllan, and I exist!

I'm AnnieOnFire or just Annie. I'm into retro things and so that's what I came here for. I love looking at retro tech and how things were back then. So, no surprise while looking at the old game Worlds and talking about it, it led me here and now I'm sticking around to the other archived and retro things.

Welcome aboard.

Hello, I am Kedi. I am here to chat about retro tech, old software, and whatever else interests me. I am mostly interested in music, politics, linguistics, history, and ethnography.

Hello, I am Pilgrim. I remember when websites used to look like this, and now I am confused why they look like this again, but it's comfy to me so I wish to warm my tired bones by the glow of the Worlio monitor. I enjoy books and flattening pieces of wood in my spare time.
