Brunching Shuttlecocks. Fucking hilarious comedy site with daily posts. Can’t find any remnants of it out there.
YES! I happen to know a bit about that!
Half of it, Lore Sjöberg, is on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/loresjoberg.bsky.social I’m sure he’d be delighted to hear from someone else who remembers Brunching!
He has a website where he’s posted some of his work since, called Bad Gods: https://badgods.com/
And there’s a Discord where old Brunching fans hang out, Brunchma Expats, I can’t send an invite at the moment but I’ll try to remember to do it when I get back to the house!
Oh man, thanks! I just spent an hour reading his bluesky. Still funny as shit.
He is!
Albino Blacksheep, Cracked, early message boards (/., Digg, reddit, etc, before they turned into garbage), NewGrounds, RatherGood
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!
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!
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!
AND at their website, which now uses Ruffle as its Flash player!
It’s still around, and a while ago had a cartoon about going back to a website!
Gaia online
Who did you watch there? I can recall 4PlayerPodcast and Mega64’s podcast. Especially the annual vomitting festival Christcast.
I don’t think that new items can be submitted, but the old stuff is available here.

Draac’s Gifs 123 / School of HTML.
Taught me basic skills back in my WebTV days.
Fuk Warner Brothers.
Webtv was my real intro to the Internet as not just a place to look up stuff for school. I was introduced to IRC, Usenet, multiplayer online games all from our webtv set top
kongregate. place is practically dead now
Yeah, Newgrounds keeps chugging along though.
MySpace and Facebook from before 2010. There’s not really any social media that’s designed to show me posts from my friends and nothing else. Now whenever I open up Facebook I am just shown shit from people and pages I never subscribed to and ads.
Agree. If only I could convince more of my friends to drop siloed socials and get fediverse accounts, I’d have a solution for that, but that’s not happening.
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.
Yes! I know Jeremy Parish of 1up and Retronauts, he rues 1up’s passing as well.
Also good was Joystiq, which was one of the best game news and culture sites. And recently I was reminded of Happy Puppy, the first really big gaming trailer and demo site, now dead for many years and barely remembered.
Haha it’s a small world after all. When 1up did that super ambitious web 2.0 update… man. What a gorgeous website. RIP.
The ones without paywalls and ads.
Dear blank please blank and FML were my go-to time wasters.
I like excite over yahoo pre 2000’s
