So many sites that technically still exist but have changed

slashdot

shoutcast

pricewatch

anandtech - now it has such a sterile, corporate feel - back in the day in addition to reviews they'd do write-ups on their own infrastructure - not in the nebulous sense, but actually step by step, detailing what they were running (ColdFusion at the time as I recall)

allaire.com (no longer exists) - before Github or any of the modern package managers were a thing, and before anything conceived of frontend components, ColdFusion's custom tags seem to encompass a lot of great ideas that today seem obvious, but not so much in the late 90s. I'd spend hours browsing through their custom tag directory

Not a website, but I miss the heyday of IRC.



wunderground. It used to be fast and simple even on a 14.4K modem. Now it's slow even on broadband.


That was our go to radar site. With dark sky off Android, what's good now?


Windy?


I still use IRC. At least Freenode seems to be still in use, although many other IRC services they don't have much these days it seems.


Pricewatch! So many memories as a kid in the late 90's/early 2000's scoping parts for my desktop on that site.
