If you've read my site bio you know that before I started building sites professionally I made them for fun for the various quake clans I was in. Recently I was trying to find my Vietcong play discs and came across an old dusty CD tittled "Snider, web + art". I give you, dear readers, some of the contents from that disc. As you know I'm pretty supportive of anyone trying to learn how to make the web a profession and I hope this truly amateur work from my early days inspire any young nerds out there to stick with their work, because you eventually do get better.  
 
Also, holy shit. Look at that fucking poser tough guy image!

You're very brave for posting that last image.

lol... EPIC!!!  Thanks for sharin duder!

" You're very brave for posting that last image. "

What?  Where's all the Photoshop lens flare and emboss?  You call this 90's web design!?

the web designer who will also kick your ass?

That's one badass pose. Consider me impressed.

really cool stuff. also, is that last image a website of it's own? 

Those look better than half the shitty websites from the 90's.

Nice

Nice work! Better than what I could do anyway. Especially that last one. I may have you beat in facial hair, but I'm also pretty flabby.  
 
But it's always fun to look over old stuff from back in the day. I remember '99 like it was only 11 years ago...

Oh man. Whiskey Media officially has the internets most authentic web designer. 

Also, I'm pretty sure at one point The Borg Collective was ranked #2 in the OGL for Rocket Arena 2. We were actually really really good.

 
 @snide:
Woah Dave dude, last picture! The suspect is considered armed and extremely dangerous!
 
What were you looking for your Vietcong discs for, anything to do with Black Ops? All i remember from that game is liking the soundtrack

Nothing says 1999 like a Matrix themed website! haha Awesome Dave

We've all gotta start somewhere innit?
It does aspiring artists and the like good to see that sometimes even the gods had to work to get to their positions, makes it that little more obtainable.

I love the wife beater pic

" Woah Dave dude, last picture! The suspect is considered armed and extremely dangerous! "

I love the light blue and pink windows theme you had going on.

Maybe in retrospect 90s web design has gotten worse for me, but this stuff looks pretty damn good by 90s standards

Borg Collective belongs in a museum.

=/ I read this as "spider web work"

realest web designer alive.  
still, pretty good, especially considering how much the tools must have sucked back then. 

1999 Dave scares me :(

Pretty sure the song playing on winamp is Motion Picture Soundtrack. I was a big Radiohead fan back in the day.

Wow. Oh. Oh, wow. Dave used to be one of those guys that I can't stand. One of those wife beater guys. And what more, a short-hair, goatee wife beater guy.
 
You've come a long way, baby.

I wonder what BiffMcBlumpkin will have to say when he sees that last image :P 
 
Obviously the quality of your work has improved since 1999, but has the methodology on how you go about it changed much?

I always knew you were a poser.

" You're very brave for posting that last image. "

Snide will kick my ass any day.

at least you were consistant in your design and some of thoses look good

I honestly thought you had photoshopped your head onto somebody else's body when i first saw the last image.

I think the craziest thing is that in 1999 the matrix still meant something!

Whatever man. I'll kick your ass! I'm wearing a wife beater. Don't mess with me! "

I like how all the pictures that show the toolbar were taken around 5-6 in the morning. Thus proving that the internet is best made at ungodly hours. Also, the 90's; when wifebeaters were a sign of badassness and not redneckedness.

" @DanielJW:  NO ONE is more legit than Dave, NO ONE "

" 1999 Dave scares me :( "

1999 Dave don't take no shit from nobody....in Rocket Arena 2.  
Good stuff, though. You were on those web standards more so then most designers, much less an amateur one.

So when are the Whiskey sites adopting these layouts?

my favorite is the picture of snide.

I feel like some of those sites should have advertisements saying that I'm the 3 millionth user to visit their site and need to provide my credit card number to get a fantastic award.
