In late 2024, I saw some videos about this trend or smth of the 2000's called "Fruiteger Aero"
In early 2025 I found Neocities
In early to mid 2025 I found the Frutiger Aero Archive, and learned how to spell frutiger.
In late 2025, I discovered that there was a forum now, and the rest is history. And then everyone died! THE END!

I just thought about Frutiger Aero after stumbling across a playlist of Frutiger Aero songs on Spotify, which opened a whole can of worms in nostalgia. Basically just made me look up Frutiger Aero on the web and instantly found the Frutiger Aero Archives website. Started off chatting on XAT from the Archive website which I still do while being on this forum, made an account on there. Really brought back a bit of nostalgia with how online public chats used to be. While browsing the website, I saw the forums tab and clicked on there. Instantly found an interest in this forum page and made an account on here and began interacting with the community and developing a keen interest in being here constantly, just fell in love with the atmosphere and attitudes in this site. A lot different to the toxic behaviours we see on all the social media platforms of today.

I saw someone mention this site on Melonland, clicked the link, and decided to register an account here almost immediately.

Specifically lakes' site (I probably found it while I was hanging around Melonland). It was linked there, I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
