Ghosts of Internet Past

Help me compile a list of internet celebrities from the glory days of internetting! Try to use your memory and not sites like “Know Your Meme”.

For example:

Randy Constan aka Peter Pan

Jay Maynard AKA Tron Guy

Ready? Steady? Go!

I remember the Peter Pan guy…he had a creepy (or innocent but inadvertently creepy) website where he had photos of himself dressed as Peter Pan or Little Lord Fauntleroy and so on. Also a ministry called Through the Cracks because of course it was.

I remember him because the Cattygoths, another long defunct Web 1.0 site, had his site with commentary in their weekly “dear god what is this thing” website review.

EDIT - and here it is. Wayback Machine FTW.

But entering into the spirit of the thing…

And recently we lost Kev from Nothing to Do With Arbroath, which was a regular source of laughs for me and material for some of the Boingers. This made me really very sad. There are many onions to chop at that link there.

The guy who made WAX isn’t a celebrity… OK, go ahead and pull the other one!
