Post your favourite old website - from the 90s/2000s what is still up online

I didn't get a computer till 99, yet I was born in the early 80's. That meant i would see a ton of PC games that I never got the chance to try out, so this site was legend when I got my first computer. So many experiences that I was able to try out through here.

I also loved Underground Gamer (which is no longer around sadly), since they were a site with some of the rarest pc games out there. Korean made Out Of This World clones and stuff like that.

I have no idea if you could even find it anymore, or if it still exists, but there was an old website run by someone with the handle of Spooner. He was a relic of the militia movement, and would post various diatribes against the feds in between guides for booby-traps and improvised explosives. The one thing that stuck in my mind was each post was ended with a vague threat or suggestion, and signed off with "Be creative."

Looking back, it was probably OG fedposting, and I got myself on a watch list when I was 12.
Anyone else run across this site?

I’m surprised that this site is still around. I enjoyed playing the NES ROM hacks back when I was 13.

Weird, I saw this thread earlier on my break at work and thought about mentioning it. I-Mockery was my favorite website in the 2000s. I met the two main guys who worked on it at Comic Con one year and they were ridiculously nice and gave me a bunch of merch for free just for being a longtime fan. A lot the content hasn't aged particularly well, but I have a lot of fond memories and it introduced me to a lot of stuff like weird games, ROM hacks, shitty 80s movies and crazy horror B-movies.

The creator's wife committed suicide a few years ago and it totally broke him. Really sad.

PixarPlanet - https://pixarplanet.com/forums/

It's a Pixar forum where we talked movie the Pixar movies and just about anything else. It was fun in the late 2000s and early 2010s but it slowly started to die off when most of the older members got more busy in life. It's still around today but it's not nearly as lively as it used to be. It's the forum where I spent the most time and even made some real friends who I'm still in contact with today. My name is Pixarfan91 there. I tried my best to get other people to join and make it lively again but was never able to get anyone. There were a lot of neat signatures there, Pixar movie backgrounds you can choose, and we had an award ceremony every year for a while. It's where I got a lot of tips of the upcoming films. I've joined more forums since but none have reached the fun I had there.

Some in brower rpg game from the mid 2000s. Full of boomers that didnt know how to handle trolling, so 1 edgy boi could send the game into chaos for a couple of days.

Somehow the game is still going with an active playerbase (...for what it is) despite no updates for a decade. Still an odd look at a weird branch of early MMO that was outdated almost as soon as it came out, but somehow managed to DSP its way through the years outliving much more popular and relevant games.
 
Limewire. It was a blast getting all those computer viruses, "AHHH FREE PORN" and that spam audio with Bill Clinton's voice. and any old downloading sites that took a half hour to download music because of slow dial up. :D

Back in the early 00s when I was in high school, any time someone had to make a PowerPoint presentation it was sure to have copious amounts of headers from flamingtext.com.
