I have periodically checked to see if this site has remained up. A little background on this: SJ came out when I was in high school. I was at a loss as to what I wanted to do with my life even though I was still a couple of years out from college. SJ was released with a lot of fanfare and the TV spots mentioned the website. We were AOL subscribers at the time (yeah, yeah, yeah) and it made front page for months. I learned HTML from copying the SpaceJam website and running it on my Windows 3.11 machine. Lots of good memories there. Ever since I'd check in and make sure the site was still up. Every time I've checked, it's been there for me, reminding me that it was the start of my development career.

I wonder if you can still order the soundtrack on cassette for $8.99 at Call J &R Music World at 1 800 221 8180

J&R was a brick-and-mortar store in Lower Manhattan just south of City Hall Park. It closed down a few years back.

So, not entirely true to say that someone is "maintaining" the website, as such. It's more "preserving as a living monument".

Yeah the copyright is still 1996. That’s the anti definition of maintaining

WB going deep in preparation for the inevitable reboot!

To be clear, that’s a real thing.

You can download the soundtrack in RealAudio!

You can also get a sweet new Netscape Browser icon (mac users only)

That would actually be kind of cool to swap out your modern icons to vintage icons of similar apps (e.g. Chrome > Netscape or Outlook > Lotus Notes)

Those iframes :-)

perilunar 2529 days ago

Those are not iframes — they are actual frames in a frameset.

Interesting to see they are still work despite being deprecated in HTML 5. (The pages should have an HTML 3.2 or 4.0 DTD but don't).

If they removed support for frames, A LOT of internal line of business applications build in the early 2000's will stop working.

Ha, or ones built this decade looks at monitor 2 and sighs audibly.

Open source apps are hella guilty too

It's always fun using framesets in mobile browsers because you know it's probably the least-tested tag

Shaq's personal assistants are probably paid to set this as the default home page on all devices and workstations.

Shaq was in Kazaam, not Space Jam
