gamehippo.com, dohgames.com, 1up.com and zone.msn.com which technically is still around I just miss the Age of Empires game rooms and chat.
zombo.com (the flash version)
Unpopular opinion: Google?
Back before it sucked.
kongregate. place is practically dead now
Thinking back I miss Astalavista. I suppose that was before 2000 but I’ll say it anyways. It’s not like I actually miss the content, I just miss the wild west time when things like that existed.
Gaia online
Shit, that just awoke some memories in me. Back from ye olden days when people would just fire up their own website to host their stuff.
Altavista.
I’d love to have it back. I hate all the search engines right now.
Version Tracker.
I more so miss that time in Mac OS software.
Stumbleupon it was how I found Reddit
Luckily they’re still active on YouTube!
The sites still up, but I don’t know if it gets updated.
I think I’m about 15 years behind on my SBEmails.
The email. The email. The what what? The email.
Everybody to the limit! Fhqwhgads!
Stumbleupon
Wasn’t this just a Firefox extension? But, yeah, I miss stumbling too.
It was a website first that would load stumbled sites in a frame while keeping their button to stumble visible. I never used the extension just the site.
lost so much time with that. just one more click before bed
Cracked in it’s prime was fucking amazing.
Like, it’s the type of “just stay here” website everyone keeps trying to make.
On any random day they’d post like an article every 15 minutes. No matter when you needed to kill 15-30 there was something funny and usually informative.
There was probably 5 years straight I didn’t poop without reading an article on Cracked.
There’s no other quality stream of content like that since.
I just had a quick look at the Cracked homepage and it looks like they’ve got articles written by actual writers again, which is a nice change. It turns out that, while cheap, filling your website with bullshit listicles written by “Cracked readers” makes for bad content.
Shit man, I tried…
Those aren’t “articles” there’s like a paragraph, and then a shit ton of pictures with text.
Fucking got my hopes up and everything, I’m gonna remember this one for April Fool’s though. Right up until you scroll down the first time it’s super convincing that it’s back.
Ooops… Sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you.
All I did was scroll down and note that I didn’t see any articles written by “Cracked readers” - I didn’t actually look at the articles themselves.
The oldschool zone.com.

That’s how I got into online chess. And I played the Quake2 demo a lot there too. Good times.
