So I was talking to Josh a while back about all those 90's internet artifacts like Geocities and Angelfire that noone seems to use anymore, and we realized that not only does Angelfire still exist, but their about page is totally bonkers. Whoever wrote on Wikipedia that the site's "levity has gradually become less pronounced" must not have seen this:

Angelfire.com is the Number One site for teens online*. We've been providing website building tools to cool kids the world over since 1995, unlike those johnny-come-lately social networking sites** your poser friends are using. We've got all the site building, blog building, photo album building, photo printing, street-cred-having*** tools you could ever hope to want - and they're yours for free. If you're not a fan of free, you can also subscribe - it's cheap! - and get even more, if that's even possible****. Sign up already.

* Seriously. You can look it up on the internet.
** And you know who you are.
*** Ok, so none of our tools have gotten in any fights lately. But if they did, they would so win. And, we the have awards to prove it.
**** It is. Think your very own domain name and email address, more storage space, and no ads!

And I'm still not sure what the "planet builder" service they're offering is. Is that some Hitchhiker's Guide shit?
