<p>Hello! Welcome to Saudade. This is an archive for petz, babyz, and oddballz sites.
|
||
|
|
The Petz community has been around a long time, and many sites that were once pillars of
|
||
|
|
the community have been lost. <a
|
||
|
|
href="https://web.archive.org/web/20091002091450/http://www.minibytepetz.net/Minibyte_Petz/home.html"
|
||
|
|
target="_blank">Minibyte's archive</a> once did the job that I am attempting to do now,
|
||
|
|
someday I hope to amass her collection!</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> </p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>On each page, there is a menu in the top right corner. It looks like this:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<div id="heart">♥</div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Hover over it to open the menu! The menu will have a link back to this page, the
|
||
|
|
changelog for that particular site, and the Wayback capture link if applicable.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> </p>
|
||
|

|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><i><u>methodology:</u></i></p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>For each site, I re-create each page by hand. Yes! This is tedious, especially for
|
||
|
|
large sites. There are a couple reasons I do this rather than download the site
|
||
|
|
as-is:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Most sites are rather disorganized, so I shuffle things around to make a bit
|
||
|
|
more sense and to preserve what's left of my sanity.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>It makes it easier to check broken links and update them, find the Wayback
|
||
|
|
version, or mark them as broken.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>I would need to go through each page and inject the little menu that links back
|
||
|
|
here & to the changelog anyway.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The biggest reason: most of these sites were made 15-20+ years ago, when the
|
||
|
|
internet, HTML, and CSS were in their infancies. Much of the code is wildly outdated
|
||
|
|
and at risk of being deprecated. I update the code as much as possible while
|
||
|
|
preserving the style of the site, as a way of "future-proofing". I want this archive
|
||
|
|
to last as long as possible!</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Sites are not posted here until either the whole site goes down, or noticable chunks
|
||
|
|
start to break.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Each site has a changelog that can be found by clicking the little floating menu in
|
||
|
|
the top right corner!</p>

<p>Hello! I'm marley, or mar @ epiphany on forums/Discord, or punkfairie various other
|
||
|
|
places. I own Epiphany, which can be found <a href="https://fantazzled.com/epiphany/"
|
||
|
|
target="_blank">here</a>. I've been in the PC on and off for 15+ years, since about the
|
||
|
|
4th grade or so. This community is the reason I know how to code! It's a place that's
|
||
|
|
near and dear to my heart.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I <i>loved</i> <a

|
||
|
|
target="_blank">Minibyte's archive</a> when it was up, and a few years ago when it went
|
||
|
|
down I got thinking I'd like to make something like that. I did start it, but lost
|
||
|
|
interest in Petz and ended up deleting all the files when cleaning my hard drive.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In Feb of 2022 I was bored and wanted a coding project, and remembered that idea I'd
|
||
|
|
had for a Petz archive. A few weeks later, I bought punkfairie.net and uploaded the
|
||
|
|
archive of Petz 5 World! That was the first Petz site I ever remember visiting as a
|
||
|
|
child, and it seemed fitting to make that my first entry to my archive.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>I hope you enjoy your time here, whether you're reminiscing on old friendships or
|
||
|
|
curious what the PC of yesteryear got up to. ♥</p>
