Default xkcd goes retro

-In commemoration of GeoCities shutting down xkcd goes retro with its site design. I just got smacked in the face with awe-inspiring amounts of nostalgia when I stopped by today and I just had to share that with you all. For the younger people on the forums, yes this is how much of teh intertubes looked way back in the dark ages when GeoCities, Angelfire, Tripod, and several other web page hosts ruled the land of disjointed .gifs and rudimentary HTML skills where attempting any "Web Design" was more grievous than denying the holocaust.

Ahh, the memories...

xkcd.com

Make Norway OPFOR! NAO!

Rest in peace, GeoCities. You really were amongst the vanguard.
