am i misremembering a bright lime green font for the going price? i suddenly miss it
i specifically remember that this powered the banner ad at the top of mspaintadventures and i always thought it sounded like a neat and sensible project on its face. i didn’t know that it’s not around anymore, sad that it’s gone now. to me it was one of the most substantial proofs that advertising actually doesn’t have to be such an aggressively unethical industry.
I advertised my writing on project wonderful for like twenty dollars, and I didn't use adblock on project wonderful websites. sad sigh
i found a non-trivial number of Cool Things™ back in the day. pretty sure chuu of slightly damned even advertised on us
Yeah yeah!! I found a fair few really cool things just because of project wonderful existing... I dunno how else I could have encountered stuff like 'text-based browser mmo with enchanting writing'

Why did it die? Lack of people selling space? Or lack of people buying ads?
like X says, afaik it's that people weren't buying ads because nobody went to the homepages of the things that were part of the Project Wonderful network any more, so the price per click fell through the floor
Oh right. I kinda missed that implication.
Fuck the 2-siteification of the internet.
I miss RSS being my doorway.
Aw, thats gone? :/ I used that once not too many years ago to advertise Card City Nights 2 on the Sweet Bro & Hella Jeff page lol
