cozy 90s BBS forums, obscure blogs, etc.
4-ch.net (not to be confused with 4chan) is a 90s BBS that is still online and occasionally active. It’s neat to see posts from the 90s still on the front page.
What websites still feel like the old internet?

Extremely useful website for collectors of dead media formats (LD, D-VHS, HD-DVD, CED, VHD, etc.) Still has an old style interface with priority given to function and utility over styling. Also has a storefront where you can buy and sell discs.

I love the old simple powerful websites at companies I’ve worked for. It’s when they add a bunch of whitespace and a chatbot that they really start to go to hell.

Yeah nah, this is old late 00s web sites that’s have to load whenever you change something.

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

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.

Nope, exact same html.

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?

Lookup brutalist websites or the gemini protocol.
fanzel@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
textfiles.com still looks like the 90s. It has stories, jokes, essays, and generally interesting stuff.

The Fighters Generation
gradients, animated GIFs, “best browsed on”, and a frame once you click enter. Only thing it’s missing is an index page.

Excellent example.
