These are both long gone, but I just remembered them so I'll post them here.

Back in the 360/PS3/Wii days, there were two websites called sonydefenseforce.com and wii60.com which were supposedly competing rival sites run by extreme console warriors or something. The Sony one even had a fierce looking "giant enemy crab" mascot.

I think they used to engage in back-and-forth attacks and shit talking and other dumb fanboy antics, in addition to whatever news and hype they normally did.

IIRC at some point it came out that they were both owned and run by the same guy (or possibly group) and was just a weird years-long autistic LARP as rival fanboy factions, or something equally retarded.

Back when I was new to the internet someone clued me into a web site about a writer named Dean Davis and his greatest creation, Las Vegas based private eye King Bennett. In over fifty books, from “Bang”, Said the Gun (1956), to the very last, Somewhere the Sun is Shining (1969), Davis consistently delivered the gumshoe goods, capturing the heady atmosphere of Vegas in the Rat Pack-era. All of his books were Paperback Originals (PBOs) published by Green Shield Books, and his "Crime Scene Trilogy" won an award, three novels about the same murder case told from the viewpoints of the victim, the killer and the investigating Bennett. The site included synopses of some of the more notable novels, the stories behind Davis' brief branching off into writing a few Westerns and romance novels under aliases and the author's numerous squabbles with editors and his not-quite-legit publisher, whose company ended up being seized by the IRS after his death exposed all of his shady dealings.

Of course, the series did not actually exist. King Bennett was the creation of a Dean Davis who was actually a "multimedia specialist", and a freelance writer with a taste for vintage crime novels, "men's adventure" magazines and girlie-mags, PBOs from publishers like Fawcett Gold Medal, the 60s-era Vegas aesthetic and being really tongue-in-cheek. It was one of those obvious little oddball labors of love that I used to enjoy coming across on the Web, and it had even won an award of some sort. Unfortunately, the site was originally hosted on the server of the university where the real Davis worked, and when he left his position it was kept going for a year or two with the help of some uni IT guys doing a favor. Then, zip, it's gone.

In its original incarnation, this was a snazzy site about the the greatest vintage novel PI hero that never was, crammed full of seemingly tons of vintage book and magazines covers, as well. Unfortunately, that original version seems to have vanished.

Fortunately, some of it has been salvaged at the Wayback Machine: Dean Davis: Just Some Guy Who Wrote Mysteries

These are great! A blast from the past. I know it’s not obscure but I miss the rotten.com library so much .

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned here. It's run by some crazy catholic types calling themselves "The People's Resistance Movement". Most notable thing about the site are the propaganda images they host. They're collages of christian imagery, politicians, the number of the beast, star of David, Satan, masonic imagery, and racist and antisemitic themes. It has been around since forever but is still regularly updated with new propaganda disasters.

forbiddentruth.mysite.com

The Manifesto of Forbidden Truth: Schizo site that glows harder than the sun. Praises numerous murderers and terrorists (Timothy McVeigh, Charles Manson, Brenton Tarrant) and has a crazy set of beliefs written in it. It seems to be run by an edgy atheist who thinks that all religion should be abolished and that all societes are evil. He also hates marriage and thinks that children are undergoing a genocide because they aren't treated like adults. Apparently he once got into legal trouble for hosting the Christchurch shooting livestream video.

Here's an incredibly weird website I found while looking for info on the Bain family murders (a notorious unsolved case in New Zealand where a guy, David, claimed that his father shot his whole religious fundamentalist family and then himself, but nearly all of the evidence points to David as the shooterhimself. It's a whole rabbit hole.)

In addition to this Mandelbrot unicorn javascript thingy, there's a David Bain murder simulator which rigs up a wireframe of David Bain's father and lets you test out how he drops to the ground given different angles of rifle fire. The creator believes that it would violate the laws of physics for the dad to have shot himself.

The creator also has a youtube channel.

I mentioned Ciro Santilli (genuinely helpful prolific Stack Overflow contributor to C, C++, Linux questions) before but his webpage is actually schizo or concentrated autism. Also his profile picture looks like a mugshot, possibly of a serial killer. If you ever see a peronal homepage with 297k words then you know it's not normal.
