Remember when websites had little secrets? Remember clicking on something innocuous and having it take you through a series of odd pixel art pages until you found a SECRET page that made you happy? The internet used to be so good

I'm not old enough to remember this but it sounds so cool and I really wanna try to recreate the feel. On my site you can click the lil icon and he spins as an Easter egg but I want to do more
A couple examples for inspo:
On forums you could reach a secret board/page where you could chat and got a special badge
Artists sometime hid lyrics to bonus tracks or alt versions this way
You’d often find something in the bg to click, sites were often quite cluttered back then
I wanna create a lil forum page on my site even if no one uses it. I use GitHub pages for hosting (free!) so I can't do dynamic content but I found a janky way around it by using Google Drive API as data storage lmao
