Before Facebook, Discord servers, and WhatsApp group chats, there was a time when everyone just had their own little corner of the web. Between 2001 and 2006, mine was its-all-g00d.co.uk.

It started out when we were in sixth form as a place to share inside jokes, post photos, and keep in touch as we all headed off to different universities across the UK. Over five years it grew into a proper archive of that time in our lives. There were thousands of forum posts, party and festival photos, exam results, guestbook messages, and personal blog posts. Eventually, university finished, life moved on, the hosting expired, and the site quietly disappeared. All that was left was a folder on an old backup drive labeled “its-all-g00d backups” a collection of .rar files, raw .sql dumps, and old scripts from twenty years ago.
