Stumbled on a MySpace page from 2007 that's still up and running

I was cleaning out an old hard drive last week and found a backup of my MySpace profile HTML. Out of curiosity I typed the URL into my browser and it actually loaded. The page has been sitting untouched for 17 years with the same auto-playing playlist and glitter graphics. Has anyone else found their old profiles still floating around out there?

Oh man, this takes me back. I once found a Geocities page I made in 1999 still hosted on some random server through Archive.org (which technically isn't the same as live, I know, but still wild). The whole thing was a shrine to my favorite boy band with a MIDI version of their biggest hit playing on loop. I honestly couldn't stop laughing at the neon green text on a black background with those little dancing star gifs everywhere. It's crazy how much digital stuff just never really disappears, even when we forget about it.

Bet someone could dig up some wild old comment threads too. Not just the pages themselves but the conversations that happened in the comments sections that nobody has looked at in over a decade.
