We proud, we ancient and obsolete few,

Stand watch over revolution, 

This technological evolution,

Destroying all we believed to be true. 

AOL was the first to go,

A fall from power with dial-up disgrace,

Left behind in final place,

Its browser was too slow. 

Geocities went down in flames,

Neighborhoods vanished overnight,

Our young will never know the sight,

Of shrines devoted to '90s games. 

HappyPuppy withered away,

The pages filled with codes and cheats,

For systems now deemed obsolete,

And in its place lies anime. 

There must exist an internet heaven,

For our brother websites that have died.

We’ll remember them with a battle cry, 

“This page last updated May '97!”

In our hearts we'll host these pages,

A living server through the ages.
