I was living in the US since 1996 and on Mardis Gras 97 I met Lance and Oasis who did already run the Oasis amateur site. They became good friends and because I was a computer programmer I thought damn its easy enough to do websites. I remember how easy it was to start up these days. They offered me a space on their server but I outgrew their traffic fast and got my own server early in 98.
I also still use Notepad and use Visual Basic to program page making utilities. I would love those easy times back where people just did nice traffic trades and nobody seems envy of the success others had. Only a few scammers were in business (XPIC comes in mind) and live was beautiful.
