yooo! I saw those posts you made about cyberpets/Animal Palace... I'm really intrigued by cyberpets and I find it really neat that I've come across one person on the entirety of the internet who knows what im even talking about!! I made a website dedicated to them but anyways I just thought it was rad that u were creepin on the wayback machine trying to find sites too. Theyre really hard to find
Oh maaaaaan, I almost forgot I even made that post! :P
But yea...I remember when cyberpets were a Thing. Like, a Big Thing. Sooooo many people’s webpages had little sections for their collections of adopted, named, backstory’d pixel art. So many people made these elaborate fantasy worlds to give their cyberpet species context. I had so many cyberpet .gif’s saved on my old windows xp’s hard drive...wish I still had ‘em. I don’t even remember most of the websites’ names, now. But I remembered Animal Palace, Skyhaven, Dreamfollow Adoptions, and a few others.
But now it’s like...nobody even remembers cyber pets existed. Even a google search for “cyberpet“ doesn’t bring up anything about actual cyberpets.
Weirdly, a few old cyber pet sites still, like, actually EXIST. Like Angel’s Chimera Dreams: http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/merbabe/index2.html. Or The Silver Unicorn: http://silvanon.com/. Who knows how they’re still on the net, or when they were last updated.
Thank you for telling me you liked the post! I really appreciate it. :D
