...words fail me. For so many reasons.

I can't decide if I want to hug the site for lasting fourteen years and counting or if I want to run screaming from the ancient web design. SOMEONE QUICK REMAKE IT FOR THE 2010s

Oh my goodness, the ancient web design! I am caught between admiration for this long running site and complete terror at how terrible it looks!

Same here! I'm going to send it to my coworkers (web designers, lol) tomorrow and watch them wail in agony.

Off-topic: I keep trying to figure out what your sn means. This is what I've come up with:

Real Life Seductress arcanelegacy

Really Loves Startrek arcanelegacy

Ridiculously low stature arcanelegacy (lol idek how tall you are)

Restless Leg Syndrome arcanelegacy

Run, Leap, Sprint! arcanelegacy

...

I mean, I could go on but you get the idea. So... what's it mean?

Your first two are making me laugh so hard, just saying. Actually, all of them are, but the first two are making me sad the real meaning is a lot more mundane. :(

It actually comes from the Disney movie Treasure Planet - the ship in that story was called the RLS Legacy (I used to know what RLS stood for, but it escapes me now). By that point I was already starting to use Arcane Legacy as a screen name, but hadn't yet created an AIM account. For the lulz, I went with RLSArcaneLegacy, and it's stuck there ever since. XD

...Really Loves Star Trek, ArcaneLegacy is going to be what I tell people now, though. <3333

XD I wrote them down in the order they came to me. My mind often works in mysterious ways...

I don't think I've ever seen that movie before. ...Unless it's the one about the flying ship and the skinny dude. Idk. Robert has me watch weird movies.

hahaha :D

There is a flying ship? And the kid was voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, which is almost enough to make me go dig it out and watch it right now.

Edited for a much more awesome icon.

Good lord in heaven, how is this website still up? I love it.

The Site Map alone is epic, hee.

I don't even know. I really wish I did. HOW HAS IT SURVIVED?

The backgrounds and colors are making my eyes hurt. Red text directly over the stars? Really?

I think the stars background is what gets me most. Why the hell would you have that?

Also, time for a cute Levi icon to express my distaste for Space Jam's silly web designer/html fail dude.

That is amazing! The ancient web design only adds to its, um, charm.

Doesn't it just? My first thought when I saw it was "oh, GEOCITIES?" And then I remembered Geocities has been gone for a while, and yet this site still lives.

There's some sort of weird time warp going on with it. There must be.
