What's a model web, you ask? Well, some people build model railroads—room-sized simulacra of industrial infrastructure. The Model Web is a planet-sized simulacrum of a piece of information-age infrastructure, namely, the World Wide Web. It's complete with fictional webmasters, online communities, and even an animatronic tentacled horror that wriggles into the HTML from time to time.
The fact that the Model Web is built inside the actual Web might be an object lesson in the power and generality of Turing machines... or it might not.
The Model Web is built on modern infrastructure and uses JavaScript for the more Web 2.0-like portions. You should not expect it to work on period browsers or hardware. For the most authentic possible browsing experience, you should disable your ad blocker (this also helps support the creator). Don't worry, there are no pop-ups.
The Model Web is a work of fiction, and contains references to fictional people and organizations. Any similarities to real people or organizations are either coincidence or parody.
