  • Oh darn, it seems the website isn't up anymore. It was, to my knowledge, never archived and never properly indexed by a search engine. I have no screenshots, so it's basically lost media. All this to say it's unlikely anyone here has heard of it.

    Well, it was an IWW split called the "International Workers of the World" (it seemed to be composed of at most 3 people). If my notes are right it was internationalworkersoftheworld.org (seems even DNS is completely dead now). Their webpage was simple HTML, from the dates it hadn't been updated in years, and most of the body was complaining about IWW internal politics, and people who had long moved on from the union.

  • Anyone remember technorati? What about the nethernet? Ah that brings me back...

  • A Girls World.

    Back in the 2000s, a place for young girls. Articles, recipes, I think games? I edited articles for a bit. I use to be able to directly connect where I'd been online to there, in the sense of, "banner on website suggested this website and talked to people there which lead to this and then that and now to here" but my memory is bad now so I can't.

    If it still exists I doubt it's anything like the original.

      This site has probably the best disclaimer I’ve ever seen at the bottom of the page.

  • There used to be a site in the 90s that was my go to for... anime research purposes, yeah. Vham.com.br if memory serves (Viciados em Hentai, Anime e Mangá), it has probably been offline for more than 17 years now.

  • There was a website I remember back in the early 2000s about a fictional communist Canada. It was hilarious and awesome and wish I could even remember what it was called…

    • AI: It sounds like you might be thinking of "The People's Republic of Canada," a satirical website that depicted a fictional communist version of Canada. It featured humorous content, including fake news articles, propaganda, and other comedic takes on Canadian culture and politics.

      Also AI: The domain for "The People's Republic of Canada" was typically found at prc.ca. It was a humorous site that parodied a communist version of Canada.

  • For a loooong time I kept 'Amish Rake Fight / GFY' on a bookmark to send to people.

    It was just a page with a middle finger saying 'Go Fuck Yourself' and a counter saying how many people have been told to go Fuck Themselves.

    After a decade or so, there was a page added with hate mail & various threats....the owner I'm sure had lots of fun with it. AFAIK it stopped working about 5-6 years ago.

  • I have one I know for a fact y'all don't know about, but if I told you I'd probably almost certainly out myself on that site. So, no, sorry, not telling.
