I'll add IGN, as they used to post some very good interviews. But so many of their former staff left, and both sites quickly degraded into clickbait territory.

I still revisit some of the old sites on there that make me laugh.

I was gonna suggest this, actually, but I didn't know if it was still a popular site round these parts.
There's not much you can't find there that doesn't come up when you type (Game Name + Remix) into YouTube.
(plus they're like, the #1 reason people don't know what the fuck a remix is anymore, or that it's not the same thing as a cover song)

That's a good one. When I started school in 09 everyone posted stuff from there to fb. Today it is the first time I've seen that site mentioned in years. Also, to some extent I would say 4chan and not just because moot left.

Used to go there all the time.
Oh and
Chatroulette
That was Weebl, which I think might have gone up originally on Newgrounds.

I remember seeing ads for Neopets a couple years ago. I guess they're still around but I haven't been on that site since the 90s.
Yeah. I could do fancy scripting and multiple accounts and all that shit but MS always catches on and bans everyone. I've been doing this (meaning, as it's intended) for years and have never got banned. I only get $5 a month in Amazon gift cards, but slow and steady wins the race. Great for picking up games on sale for free.

Candystand, is that still a thing?
I remember lots of kids visiting that during school as it had pretty decent flash games. The mini golf in particular.
Also blackplanet was really popular.

It feels like the internet is a lot narrower than before.
Or that certain Megasites occupy so much interest that the rest are fighting for crumbs.
Anyway bolt.com was a teenage hangout spot back in the late 90's and early 2000's
More American focused, but I liked it.
Also MSN messenger.
MSN should have been Microsoft's social network and Skype rolled into one.
Every teenage had MSN back in the day, but they didn't realise what they had.

CheetaChat. Oh the memories...
A sponsored post on my Twitter feed said that Habbo Hotel was moving to iOS devices. Really thought it went ages ago.

There used to be a ton of Dragonball Z fan sites. Not sure what that scene is like now, but I remember planetnamek.com being one of the largest at the time.

Yeah, there's countless other ways to "asl?" at this day and age, Habbo Hotel is pretty much obsolete.
And I mean, how long did it take to get an iOS app, seriously?

Aw man, used to use that site all the time.
Also, last.fm seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

I completely forgot about bolt.com and planetnamek. Planetnamek was the DBZ site for years. But than again the only competition was shitty Geocities ones.

SA felt really niche back then, but it did spawn a lot of early memes. Now it's so irrelevant that I'm surprised it still exists. Must be that $10 cash keeping it alive..

Fark isn't really dead, it's just lost a lot of its traffic due to Reddit. It's a wildly different place in terms of tone and content now though. I remember them making the general news when Drew came down hard against any rape jokes on the site, for example.
