I've been looking for a community of exactly this! This website layout/feel scratches a really deep itch. Let's make a hand-crafted web of enthusiasts and bring back 1999 all by ourselves! :)

Oh wow, are in luck! These kinds of communities have been building up over the last few years (maybe decade or so?), and now they're quite prevalent. I was about to share a few links (like indieweb.org, fediring.net, etc.)...but, then remembered stumbling upon the following blogroll/link page that does a wonderful job of capturing some really good starting points: https://shellsharks.com/indieweb

Enjoy! :-)

have a look at this https://512kb.club/ this is a list of websites that are all handcrafted to be under 512kb of data
I'd recommend looking into Neocities.
Albeit it won't feel the same without windows 98 viruses, php exploits, yahoo! chat and flash animations.
Some of the sites on this "web ring" (amazing!) definitely have Yahoo chat like applets and GIF animations that remind me of Flash. I miss Flash (kind of).
