The site, in 1998
The shop of Despair, Inc., which sells 'Demotivators': posters and gifts that parody office motivational posters with cynical captions.
Founded in 1998, it is widely credited with starting demotivational posters, which became an internet meme format. In 2000 it trademarked the frowny emoticon :-( for posters and cards, and in 2001 joked that it would sue anyone who typed it.
In 1998: E.L. Kersten and a couple of friends started the business and its first Demotivators.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
