I was on that site back in 2016. I also bought the stock in robinhood. I didn't keep it of course

Fun fact, I hosted match.com in 2001 through my company Densitron Internet Services

Also udate.com who was later bought out by match

I met my wife on udate after a hostile takeover of my company in 2002 where my admin account was turned into a user account. She messaged my user profile, we met a month later, moved in together 6 months later and married 2 years after that.

This was me from the way back machine:

What a legend!! 🫡

Further fun fact in 2002, 45Mb/s of bandwidth cost £15,000 ($20,000) per month.

Holy. Shite. Batman!!!

How much to talk to aliens? 👽 🤣🤣🤣

Hey that’s a real cool and interesting story.

I was making websites that looked a lot like that back then (and few years earlier), also flash design but let’s not go there.

Meeting people from the internet was so taboo but from early on we were doing it.

name checks out 🤣🤣🤣

Such a fun fact!

Hah, I like love stories.

I don't understand the hostile takeover bit. Wouldn't that be a legal issue?
