Very interesting article!
This is pretty cool, although it makes me feel old.
I can’t imagine anyone younger than 30 would even get what this article is about.
Actually, I’d love to hear from anybody younger than 30. Does this article make sense to you at all?
Yeah? Dude got some corrupt skins for the Winamp program back in the day that didn’t work and poked into the files to see what was in there.
Makes me wanna check out WACUP, but last time I tried a skin with it that I at least remember working back in the day, it didn’t work.
Idk maybe it’s because I’m not American so we didn’t have the latest tech at all times, but I’m in my mid-20s and my first OS was Windows 2000 (no I don’t mean ME). I remember my dad teaching me how to rip CDs with Alcohol 120% when I was 5 or so lol.
Oh wow, I never heard of the skin archive. This is fantastic.
I still use Winamp 2.95, with a Pure Pwnage skin I downloaded back in the mid 2000s. Added it to the archive.
You must be a l33t h4x0r!
Boom! Headshot!
This takes me back to a simpler time.
A time of playing Total Anihilation and hanging on MSN messenger.
Does anyone remember musicmatch jukebox with the jumping sheep visualisation?
Oh god musicmatch was soooo good, it was my daily driver while everyone else was using winamp…something about whipping unsuspecting animals in the ass.
Nice find. Really whips the Llamas ass.
This is the Internet I miss!
What? You don’t like browsing the web, where everyone is shoving politics down your throat, and making violent hostile threats, and everybodys offended over baby names, and the web is like 3 websites big???
You don’t LOVE that?
It is still there, just not picked up by Google or Bing.
Oh for fucks sake, now the article itself has a misplaced mobile Wikipedia link and there’s nowhere I can quickly see to put my copy paste about it.
copy paste for context:
Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.
