What are some old websites you still visit?

Sherrod writing her LN prifile in third person...needs hypertext to Over9000, Last Thursday and Fail.

One positive thing is that she seems to have lost a bit of weight.

The Girlvinyl Era still ending up as the 'peak' of ED is probably the most shocking thing for me. I still remembered I had even a tiny amount of hype during 2020 when Aediot shilled- I mean uh, 'promised' his ED revival but it really hasn't been the same since the late 2000s to very early 2010s.

I still dunno when ED's all time low was, the someone-stole-the-domains era or the era where they let a fat diaper fetishist do 70% of site edits/moderating

I do generally consider KF to be in essence, a successor to ED. Even if Null thinks overwise, it's basically the ED of the modern era with just more competent management. The way the Farms' is even adjacent with various imageboards and has a reputation as a 'boogie man' in e-celeb spheres isn't too far off from the way ED was viewed back in the day.

Though to be fair 'competent managment' isn't that high of a bar since like half of the ED admins in the past were school shooters or drug addicts.

I disagree. The difference between KF and ED is in writing and a lack of a Wiki style system. No hyperlinks to related threads or to website-specific autistic lingo is a blessing in disguise. If you write a post here how you'd normally write an ED article, regardless of the time period, there's a high chance you'll be laughed at as the stupid faggot that you are.

Can't really compare the two, but KF is something of a spiritual successor to ED. You have to remember that internet content consumption has shifted severely into the realms of the audio-visual whereas you have to have the attention span and the time to read both KF and ED. So in that sense they are related. ED is just not that good anymore, there is more up-to-date information to be found here.

ED was the AIDS of the internet. No matter how many layers of antivirus or adblock you had you were going to catch something if you went there.
 
I visit Ebuamsworld from time to time. I remember first going on it when it was edgy and stole others content. Now it's just a copy paste job of buzzfeed but with articles that are more lets say unfiltered.

I still go on ED from time to time, but I'm disappointed that it doesn't really see many updates. It's still funny as hell but its like more like reading a book because it never fucking changes. It's nothing like it was prior to the OhInternet/WhatPort80 incident.

Kill yourself, Girlvinyl.

I also very occasionally check out Stormfront, Niggermania, and Chimpout just to remind myself of how mentally ill their users are.

I like reading about the Orion's Arm universe, a hard-scifi universe detailing the future 10,000 years of humanity using only plausible technology (no faster than light travel, rare life, non-humanoid aliens, etc). What really attracts me to it though, is how it's gone almost untouched since the mid 2000's. Something about the 3D renders and banner pictures used really sets a tone I rarely see anymore.

If any of you have listened to the Peshay Studio Set on youtube, every background picture comes somewhere from Orion's Arm.

Same here.

For all the people saying that KF is generally the replacement, the thing is... with KF you would have to read literal novels' worth of thread pages to catch up on all the info.... ED being a wiki was useful for giving you a broad overview/quick catch up on things you might not have known about.

Sure, in KF topics you can just ask... someone did that a week ago in the Linkara topic, and the responses that person got tended to be highly focused on just one or two aspects rather than give any sort of history or overview--and they also tended to over-focus on stuff from, like, a month ago rather than explain why he was topic-worthy in the first place.

Not trying to throw shade at Kiwis, just saying that both wikis and forums serve a different but equally useful function. A discussion forum can too often feel like you literally just walked into a conversation late.

Thread Tax:

Every once in awhile my moods shift and I'm into western fantasy and such, and that makes me want to read Grognardia:


This blog was actually dead for awhile but then came back. He mostly talks about role-playing but sometimes discusses other things.

In fact that's a lot of "still revisited" sites for me.

Like "The Reading Canary," which used to be located somewhere else and on one of my hard drives I still have a backup of the old website version (which I prefer but whatever):


WARNING: I saw that guy do an article on Conan which made me feel like he had totally gone woke.

Or this:


This guy has basically disappeared. Weirdly enough his most recent article was about SJWs, but he apparently deleted it.... this guy gave all the signs of being a proto-woketard. However, he was an interesting idiot, one of those who one article will be illuminating (he's the reason I read the Lensman books) but then he'll say something retarded (any of his articles about Tolkien).

So basically... I read blogs. Or used to. Maybe I should get back to that.

I think KF could count as an old site now.

Also ED is satire site where they say one should "expect blatant, biased lies, and expect boring truths to get deleted quickly".

KF has the potential to fulfil this role, i have seen several threads where the OP updates their original post as new information comes in so you can get the TLDR from that single post instead of having to scroll through the whole thread.

Be nice if we could make it a reality.

Its really hard to explain eg. Trans Lifeline to a normie when all the relevant details are spread across a few hundred pages. Be nice to link to one post with all the details. Or alternatively, kiwifarms.net/wiki/Trans_Lifeline would work too.

ive seen horrocow threads where people do it, wish it was more of a standard. though maybe im just biased because i read through over 200 pages of posts in the foss thread before i started replying so i could avoid repeating someone i dunno

I usually at the very least start 1-3 pages before the last one, because sometimes that's enough for me to get context on whatever the current conversation is.

That said I usually only read the threads for people I know anyway, everyone else is "Don't know, don't care" for me.
