Interesting Old/Abandoned Web Sites

[Beta Faggot]

Sorry if there's already a thread like this, but I find old websites that are hardly used anymore interesting and a bit sad to look through. Things like old forums and homepages.
Anyway, here's some that I've found:

Elftown used to be a huge forum for fantasy shit. It used to have thousands of active users, but seems mostly abandoned now.
Here's an old anime music site
Cool Cowboy Bebop Fansite
Abandoned 4chan Clone
Video Game Forums
Intact Space Jam Official Website from the 90s'
SuPYo (a personal favorite)

I have some more collected somewhere in my files, I'll try to find and post them later. Here's some tools to find old sites:
Curlie is a huge collection of older sites divided into different categories
Here's an archive of some old Geocities stuff

Post anything cool you find!

Abandoned 4chan Clone

That's actually an english 2chan clone. Or 2channel rather, 2chan is "futaba channel." And to make shit more confusing it was recently renamed to 5channel.

That's actually an english 2chan clone.

and there's plenty of posts from this year stretch to call it active but not really fitting OPs theme.

The internet peaked with Time Cube and should have been shut down since no EVIL LIAR TEACHERS have been able to defeat Dr. Ray's 4 Corner Simultaneous 4 Day Timecube theory and collect his $10k wager.

Everything below the youtube videos is the original site as best I can recall.

I'm glad he's doing well. He was the first harmless cow I remember from the early days of he internet.

Most boards on 8chan at this point.

I actually came here just to make sure the Space Jam website is still up.

I’m so glad it still is.

Btw, anyone remember a late 90s/early 2000s site about DBZ called Planet Namek? I remember watching clips from uncensored DBZ movies when I was a kid.

I do. It's a shame it's gone now, but at least some of it was saved with the wayback machine.

Seriously? I’m going on a nostalgia trip later.

Forgot an important one, but Wiby.me is a really fun tool for finding weird old sites. I especially like the "surprise me" button.

Years ago I ran across a series of YouTube videos by a guy called Techtite. These are a few of his videos.

I remember these videos were interesting as a kid, I thought they were super informative and they introduced me to games like Thief and important moments in gaming history like the SwordQuest contest.

According to his About section, he made these videos to celebrate his website's 10th anniversary. He only made 6 of them, but they were enough for me to check out the website. Unfortunately, by the time I discovered it, it was basically abandoned by that point. I know this because the most recent gaming story on the site was BioShock 2, and when I visited it the game was months old. Every now and then I checked back to see if he ever updated it, but he never did.

Now the site can only be accessed through the Wayback Machine. I guess it closed sometime back in 2014. And it's a shame, because if he kept at it, I think he could have been a decent long-lasting video game channel. There are rumors that the guy died, but I don't know how much stock I can put into that. Either way, it's kinda sad.

Here's the site via the Wayback Machine if anybody's interested.

This site was amazing before the creator got troll's remorse.

Used to hang out on Herdstone, an old forum for Warhammer Fantasy Beastman players. It's gone the way of the dodo now, unfortunately. Was sad to see it go, I had a good many fun discussions there, but with the death of Fantasy and the advent of Age of Sigmar I'd say the age of Beastmen has passed.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Holy shit, I've been to that Cowboy Bebop site.

Edit: Here's a site I use to frequent. It was funny and I wish the guy still made content.

[The Cunting Death]

I was going to say the G4 website but they finally deleted it earlier this year, it redirects to SyFy Wire now

Gizoogle died, was revived, and has been abandoned, with no sign of any update from 2015. It’ll possibly die after a year or so.

Once flash becomes phased out completely, a lot of the edgy cartoon sites from the early 2000s will be gone, too. Off the top of my head, I can think of Joe Cartoon, Killfrog, and Bunny Grenade.

God, these people are so patheic. They make people who hold off sex until marriage for more than 24 years look so much more dignified.
Actually, its really no contest

What suggested to you he’s doing well? Last update was in 04...
