Neocities and just generally when it was cool for everyone to have their own personal website rather than having profiles on the major platforms.
Should be easier than ever today.
Neocities still exists, and is doing great!
Sure! I don’t really care what people use, I’d just like to see more of it. It’s also on me to be part of the change I want to see, because I have my domain and everything, but I haven’t given myself the time to set things up.

New grounds, that one probably hurts the most. There was so much free creativity happening.
What? Newgrounds is still alive and still has lots of things posted?
Luckily they’re still active on YouTube!
AND at their website, which now uses Ruffle as its Flash player!
Technically the website is still around. It just doesn’t have any of the fun interactive stuff now that Flash is defunct. It’s where they sell merch now.
I may be the proud owner of the Trogdor board game.
My daughter got me a Trogdor T shirt last Father’s Day. I usually get at least one reaction when I wear it in public.
It’s working again, through the power of Ruffle!
It’s still around, and a while ago had a cartoon about going back to a website!
The sites still up, but I don’t know if it gets updated.
I think I’m about 15 years behind on my SBEmails.
it does! And they even had a new sbemail fairly recently! https://homestarrunner.com/sbemails/210-robots
The email. The email. The what what? The email.
Everybody to the limit! Fhqwhgads!

This site aims to archive as many of the original StickDeath.com games and animations as possible!
Unfortunately, StickDeath.com is gone and it has been excluded from the Internet Archive for reasons unknown. This site aims to host as many of the original StickDeath swf files as possible.
Thanks to the discovery of an active internet archive of the original StickDeath website, most of the animations have been recovered! However, some favorites are still missing, such as most of the wrestling ones, and most of the animated shorts.
Flash is dead, but the open-source Ruffle can play many Flash things, and I suppose could probably play them.
“For reasons unknown”
Lmao it’s not hard to figure it out.
Most all of the site was racist as fuck with a hearty scoop of unironic MERICA FUCK YEAH
Ze Frank had a great personal site with a dozen JavaScript / flash apps that let you draw with different brushes etc. fun time waster
IndyMedia. It was direct, citizen journalism in all the best and worst ways. It’s where I learned that the job of riot police is to attack citizens and start riots.

I hung soo much on Get that azzhole?, a site with a huge collection of user-made cars for GTA1. It wasn’t easy to find the URL back, but I got it through the equally retro-looking https://www.lnkworld.com/.
Stumbleupon it was how I found Reddit
Jiggmin. It was some independent flash developers website where he posted a lot of browser games and had a forum with a decent community. Played a ton of platform racer games on there and had a lot of fun as a kid. It’s been defunct for at least a decade if not more.
Miles better than IMDB, and specifically for TV shows. It was a great way of keeping track of episodes and seasons in preparation for
tormentingtorrenting (ducking autocorrect).Lego.com 's online games section
It looks like a lot of them may be archived here, as searching for “lego” turns up about 600 results. At least some of those look like officially-branded things.

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