Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2001
A comedy site with feature articles, edited pictures, media reviews and a large forum, which began as a personal website.
Gizmodo put it among the 100 websites that shaped the internet in 2018. Its forum spread memes such as 'all your base are belong to us', and image macros began there.
In 2001: The forum began charging $10 for an account, paying for the site.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
