They are now running an early Black Friday Sale. Go to https://establishedtitles.com/NERD22 and get an additional 10% off on any purchase with code NERD22. Thanks to Established Titles for sponsoring this video! Established Titles plant a tree with every order, and work with global charities One Tree Planted and Trees for the Future to support global reforestation efforts ~ Space Jam was a 1996 film that remains the best performing basketball film of all time. SpaceJam.com is a website that remains the longest running website of all time (just about), and that’s because since 1996, spacejam.com has somehow dodged every opportunity to die that came it’s way. The Space Jam website is almost the 8th wonder of the world, and that’s why I need to chart its story.
BIG thanks to voiceover crew;

Please make sure to inform Marta of how mind blowingly EXCELLENT her Space Jam musical rendition was. I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s nothing else quite like it.

Please make sure you go and tell Marta what an excellent job she made of the closing credits theme tune.
Huge nod to the work done by https://archive.org/ and https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/, without which videos like this just wouldn't be possible.

A stock footage from November 2012 Moscow in the context of 1996 looks… weird.

I still cringe when coming across old videos with Established Titles as sponsor haha.
I hope they payed you, cuz they didn't pay a whole bunch of content creators.

Established Titles, in case you were thinking of buying from them, does not provide any sort of legally binding or material service. At best, they sell a gag gift. They also use lies and misleading advertising to boost sales.

Galbi3000 already mentioned this, but the sponsor spot needs clarification: it does not provide one with a title or owned land. For full details, please see the recent video by Dr. Edward Hutton (The Jolly Heretic) on the subject.
As for the video, well, my N64 site is older. 😀 But I never used anything more elaborate than tables and image maps, to maximise browser compatibility and speed (back then there were dozens of different browsers, I once counted 76 variants from the web logs).

She made their whole website, (which given that its a school, they are probably still using), and her jerk teacher gave her a B?!?

This story reminds me of the Amanda Please website, which was promoted heavily by Amanda Bynes' character Penelope Taynt on Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show. After the show ended in 2002, the website still remained on the internet until 2017. I can recall searching it up again in 2013 to see if it was still online, and it was, even though it hadn't been updated since May 2002. If you try looking it up now, you'll get redirected to the official Nickelodeon website as it had gotten removed in 2017.

Established Titles is a scam! It doesn't make you a lord or lady. They don't even plant trees…The company is also Chinese owned.
