I was expecting more neon green and marquee banners leading my ISP to transition to 56k dialup followed by my exploding laptop

Hmm...doesn't seem to do anything: http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=2...

I'm a big fan of the old school Hacker News http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/content.php?theme=3...

I prefer the spinning floppies, horned Bill Gates, and Alanis:

I think I just signed HN's guestbook.

I clicked one of the flashy things, and I think I voted something up. I'm not sure though.

Am I already, at the tender age of 25, on enough in years that yesterday's bad taste stirs feelings of nostalgia today in my web weary heart?

I'm 22 and nostalgia was involved. So, yes.

I'm 35 and nostalgia was involved. So... I think I'm going to go be depressed somewhere now. :)

I'm a 29 year old sucker for nostalgia.

23, and I'm nostalgic for the time when simply not plastering animated GIFs all over your website was enough to separate you from the pack.

I was holding it okay until "Wonderwall" started playing.

The funny part is that the 'spinning' hit counter is probably not spinning fast enough to match reality.

Or by a 25 year-old on myspace today.

I had forgotten how oddly compelling that creepy dancing baby was. I hate it, but I can't help staring at it.

The computer motif (complete with Bill Gates as the Devil) is particularly apropos for my school's website.

another waterlooer! really like how the engineering page turned out.

Amazing! I've honestly been looking for a tool like this for years

There is one thing this site seems to be missing: an "under construction" icon, preferably in the form of an animated GIF. :P Because of this omission, I can only give it 4/5 stars, just for reminding me of the days when something like http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781565920637 was what passed for a way to find stuff on the internet.

How did the 88x31 buttons ever come to be? Those things were all the rage, especially on designer's sites. Where did the size originate?

Works particularly well for Daring Fireball. It's like looking at the website of Gruber's tasteless, comic-sans using, evil twin.

What's funny is the ads on boingboing don't really look out of place.

apple.com:

That was the first one I tried, too.

LOL, It even used an evil bill gates img: http://wonder-tonic.com/geocitiesizer/images/Bill_Gates.gif

Can't help but laugh at the Homestead ad served by Google. Very relevant indeed.

Not enough black backgrounds, red bold text OR animated flames :(

OMG, this makes me want to cry.

Needs more blue ribbon.

especially liked the "Campaign against frames" badge :)

This is insane !

This is my new favorite web page, it's genius! What goes around, comes around. I can't wait until 2015 when some comedian creates the web-2.0-izer to what has become of hackernews.

I'd like to correct the title: Make any webpage look like it was made in Frontpage. Yeah.

I wonder how many younger HN'ers even really know what Frontpage is these days.

I'm in High School and I remember creating websites using FrontPage (and notepad of course). We even used FrontPage in elementary school, so I think most younger HN'ers might remember what it is.
