Countless angelfire and geocities sites that I would find by asking jeevs about pokemon

angelfire still exists tho

Death Ray mother fucker.

I do miss the idea of fansites more than any particular case.

It's depressing how easily the Internet has been binded into a bland, corporate-owned standardized cesspool. Wikia is a freaking add-ridden gimp suit for fan-curated content

>>4734907
Didn’t we already kill Jay Resop?

legends.nfs.ru

http://www.deco.franken.de/ found this Sonic fanpage back then when I still browsed the web with my trusty DC. Kinda amazing it's still online, and that you can even still download the VMU homebrew games.

And yes.... Wikia shall rot in hell

>>4734851
It's sad the guy who ran that site ruined it with a bunch of online poker ads

I had a great deal of fun trolling the ZHQ and Metroid Database message boards.

Zelda Power. Spent quite few years posting there, and even briefly dated a girl I had met on there. In retrospect I was a huge faggot.

I loved reading the webmaster's musings every time he updated.

I miss the Pokemon craze. Even the Pokemon Go fad was nothing compared to it.

By the way, Disgruntled Ferret resumed his comic and wants to give it a proper ending.

Unfortunately, my original account from 2000 got deleted after I ignored it for a couple years. Current one is from 2006. It was my first experience posting online, my username was Ragnarok9999 because I was obsessed with Final Fantasy.

It still looks exactly the way it did when I first stumbled on it in 2001, it's like opening a time capsule

Next to that, Kid Radd

Whoops!

First or second gen of the gamespy website had a funny weekly column illustrated by mike krauhulik. Some of them were fucking side splitting but I looked once and couldn't find an archive.

>>4738679
Ooh. It was called the daily victim and archive.org does have a bunch.

>>4735131
the moment normies found that it was easier to monetize content and reach more people than they ever could on television it was all donwhill sadly.

The guy that ran this site hosts a bunch of gameshows at PAX, and even competed in one I hosted

Snes emulation hub and it's emulation sites ring.
Back then when no snes emulators still could display transparency effects.

Fess up boys, I can't be the only one who fapped to that Tails doujin.

Loved this place

Sonic HQ/The Mobius Forums

Discovering internet forums in the early aughts as a ten year old will be something I'll always appreciate. Talking with autistic twenty somethings who have shared interests with you is a really, really great environment to learn online decorum in. Upon finding some of my old posts, I do have to say props to preteen me for being a sarcastic shit towards other users and calling Sonic Heroes a glitchy piece of crap. It totally was and is!

Also
>it's an 11 year old stumbles into Sonic Cult episode

>>4740209
Same. It was my introduction to internet culture, and inspired me to pursue programming.

Antagonist Incorporated / AOL Antagonist / ANT.

Spent way to much of my early internet life there, and now it's like it barely ever existed.

Still have a soft spot for LunarNET/RPGfan as well.

>>4738663
Haha. I laughed harder than I probably should have.

>>4734851
Fantasyanime is still alive. It also legally host /vr/ related animes like the tales of phantasia one.

>>4738663
My first ban was for hentai LARPing on Star Ocean 2. The rest got banned for quality posting and various flamewars. I still got one account left; made after I forgot the password of an account made with a dead hotmail address.

>RPGamer changed their site layout to be more "modern"

End of an age

>>4734865
Toasty frog? You know Jeremy parish still does all kinds of game related journalism right

There was a point in time when I was a Blizzard fan and I thought Starcraft II was gonna be a good game.

I miss RAden, especially since I was a huge fan of the custom Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge maps there.
I still have some of them to this day.

Did anyone ever do a backup of the maps/mods there?

mmxz.zophar.net was probably the site I went to the most as a kid

GameTalk. I frequented the Super Mario 64, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, Sonic Adventure 2, and Spirituality forum.

It's been gone for years, but then a "restoration" project popped up, then was lost. Now, it exists in basically the same state - Gtx0 - and I just visited it for the first time since about 2004.

Holy shit, some of the same users are STILL one there, posting about the same shit. This is fucking wild.

>>4740209
>>4740381
Same, same.
I fucking loved the forums and I'm sad those years will never come back.
Who knows, maybe we knew each other back then.

>>4741105
When were you active?

Went down in 2011, fortunately someone keeps a mirror up. I miss Web 1.0 layouts. I'm glad serebii.net kept their old layout despite a vocal group demanding they "update"

Damn. I need to catch up on that.

Oh Lord, I spent so much time on this site back in the day. I spent so much time reading her Super Adventure Rockman summary/walkthrough.

Jesus, TMK had everything ever. Even the Super Mario Compact Disco

>>4744313
Everything except a cure for diabetes.

I used to spend a lot of time here

http://gepdhq.tripod.com/

The site has spelling errors all over the place, ones that I picked up on even when I was 12, but I loved going here.

>>4744304
Oh goodness. Did you think they were official Megaman novels?

>>4740206
That picture of Cream was my very first fap to something that wasn't human. I haven't been the same since.

>It also legally host /vr/ related animes

yeah a random fansite has enough funding to buy licenses for old-ass anime

I remember Nesplayer had a lot of content like flash animations and how to play nes games on a PDA, but is not there anymore and is not accessible via Archive.org.

snesorama

I just want the web design norms to go back a decade and a half

/r/ing anime titty bouncing girl found on every emulation site back in the day.

Does anyone remember boomansion.org?

Boo Mansion was also the name of the dude in MFGG right

>>4749017
>not the original
yeah i think you're right. But the movement is the same. I've spent the last 20 min searching for the original everywhere but I just can't find it.

>>4748840
>>4748983

>>4748983
>>4749515
Thanks anons, what's the source on these anyway?

>>4749536
Magical drop, I think.
Of course the only place I remember them from is being on ads on Newgrounds. What they were advertising, I don't know.

>>4749536
The original is a character from the Magical Drop series, I think >>4748983 is the original

>>4748983
I distinctly remember only two eyes being there, like in >>4749515

>>4734851
http://www.lemmykoopa.com/lkmain.html

I can't believe it's still fucking here

>>4749578
What the fuck, somwhow I remember this, though I have no idea what was there that had me coming back. Also, this looks like a page that stopped updating in 90's, but the top of the page randomly has the name of a 2007 Wii game??

>>4749540

Yeah, I found the red one by using waybackmachine to pull up newgrounds from 2005-2006

>>4749578
always loved the aesthetic of this site. it's bad but in a good way.

>>4741629
TRR was the shit, man I miss that community

I miss Bobandgeorge...

>>4734851
I remember when I was in third grade I sent hate (e)mail to the guy who ran that "Neglected Characters" spin-off site because I was autistic and thought he was unfair to Mario.
