The site, in 1997
Lore Sjöberg and Dave Neilsen's humour website, with letter-grade ratings of random things, film reviews, comics, web toys and the much-shared Geek Hierarchy.
Running from 1997 to June 2003, it was covered by Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly and The Guardian, and won Cool Humor Site in the Time Almanac's 1999 Cool Site of the Year awards.
In 1997: Started by Sjöberg with Neilsen, a friend he had once tried to form a comedy troupe with.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
