I'm on a couple forum sites still (both phpbb I think). I still read fark.com but rarely if ever comment anymore.

Has Real Ultimate Power actually changed at all/added new content? I was reading that in elementary.

[–] brandocorp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

I see YouTube videos linked, and I remember being on this site before YouTube existed. I don't think it has changed all that much, though.

[–] ace_garp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nope, exact same html.

jwz.org/blog, for obvious reasons.

people often say they can find this kind of thing via my employer, Mojeek: https://www.mojeek.com/

[–] 4z01235@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's pretty niche, but https://alternativess.com (sport archery retailer)

Sites that have old forums. There aren't many anymore, but ones I've seen that have been very helpful of late include car sites, a timeshare forum, and the Fantasy Grounds forum (my virtual tabletop of choice).

I'm sure there are others out there, but it's definitely more rare than it used to be. Is Something Awful still around?

textfiles.com still looks like the 90s. It has stories, jokes, essays, and generally interesting stuff.
