End of an Era - the GFY page died
Something that was part of my ID is no longer, and that makes me have the sads
A long time ago. Like the late 1990’s, when the web was in its infancy I discovered a killer site that was useful. Sometimes you really want to tell someone to fuck right off.
And, there was a page for that. A page that I sent to many deserving people. A page that in the bad old days when your web browser would just play the embedded MP3 file automagically.
The website is was http://www.amishrakefight.org/gfy1 and when you hit it, it would display a big flipping off of you, play the “fuck you” wave file, and in general let you know that someone told you to fuck off.
It was glorious, it was useful, and I used it often enough to have memorized the full URL so that I could send it whenever I wanted to.
Alas, it is now gone. Not sure if the owner of the domain died and it went fallow until it expired, or they got tired of dealing with the hate mail they used to get.
The end of an era. And I am very sad.
I have a blog on Google blogger that’s been inactive for eons in internet time. Does it ever go away or is it just one of the many Flying Dutchmen out there?
