"the internet is a place where absolutely nothing happens" I can't really tell if that is true anymore, but the statement made me giggle. I'm glad that disk 4 of 12 is a series now.
What’s funny is this is nostalgiception. In the early 2000s this was a sleek flash based site that poked fun at mid to late 90s websites with long, slow loading, and terrible animation, horrible repeating wallpapers of clouds and stars, use of colourful comic sans text, animated gifs, browser frames, and website counters.
For those unaware, this email had an easter egg that took you to strong bad's website, which includes all of the gifs and cat pictures included in the email. But it also included ANOTHER easter egg that took you Strong Sad's website. A blog which actually got updated for a few years.

Believe it or not, I remember typing this e-mail from my friend’s basement. I wanted to make a freewebs site for Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I wanted more ideas. I love coming back to this, because it’s the only internet fame I’ll ever have, and it’s been all downhill since 11 years old.
If I had a website, there would be my drawings EVERYWHERE and maybe an area where I have my own bootleg Livejournal. Maybe, when you first come to the site, your eyes will be immediately blasted with the song "R.E.M. - Hyena" because I'm a jerk. Then maybe there could be a page that's just a Rick Roll for some reason to break everyone's streaks, MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!! EDIT 6/1/24: Blast your eyes with a song? How?
Could you reupload The Paper (email #173), Retirement (email #159), Cliffhangers (email #158) and Bottom 10 (with the extra scene, DVD only; email #133)?
For the kids: this is how generic websites USED to look before consumer-grade website builders made them all look sadly bland.
It was so hard to find a site of interest back then. Once I hit college from 2004-2011 websites started to shape up.

He joke'
Strong Bad's website is nostalgic for me because it reminds me of my high school years.

This is basically what my website would look like if I had one.
Too accurate.
WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM
Welcome to your dooma
The website surprisingly works on my phone!
Woah, Strong Bad knee about the whole “gif” “jif” battle back in 2002!
How did he knee it?

And those nerds are still arguing about it to this day
This is what websites looked like on Geocities. Ask your parents.
GeoCities, Tripod, and Angelfire
That's what 90% of the internet was during my high school years (2000-2004).
Neither of my parents used the internet.
I like how strong bad gets up from his computer to go work on his website that is on his computer
I think this email is solely responsible for people forgetting that "web site" is supposed to be two separate words
It's called a compound word

I didn't notice the captions for the cat and the Cheat before!
2:00 This GIF should appear in every Sbemail, eh. It's spot on!
I still wish modern websites had those Flash intros.
Flash is dead and unsupported...The good times are over!
The gif/jif debate is as old as time itself
I love the part where you're going through warpspeed and THEN COMES A GIANT FIST!!!
It's pronounced "gif"

I’m still hurting from getting punched…in de face…

Helscome to my wedsite. It's not done.

I'd say it's GIF, with a hard G, like in what the G stands for: Graphical.
After all, whoever heard of a "Jraphical" Interchange Format?!
Nerd.
But oh well; six of one, they always say.
The creators use the soft G
I have long since given up and go with Strong Bad's gif/jif
But then again, the hard/soft G rule says that if the letter comes before an I, then it's soft.
😄
Strongbad's Website reminds me of Myspace.
