SDF was an inspiration when I first found it. I think that it’s hard to capture what was so magical about it in a land of beige Windows boxes.

But what’s really amazing about it is that people still host things on there. And on top of that there are active message boards where people actually talk. It’s a weird little corner of the universe.

In a way I wish they had modernized a bit. But also I think if it turned into another PaaS system it would lose its charm. It is better off with the “weird” constraints that it has because it keeps it interesting.
