The old SomethingAwful for me.

> Web Rings were amazing, and I think the idea still has merit. Why did everyone stop using them?

They stopped having web pages and started having Xangas/Friendsters/Myspaces that had the networking feature built-in.

Fark/Totalfark was fun for a while but descended into an echo chamber of cliques and in-jokes. It was a good preview of what reddit would eventually become.

2000-2003 Something Awful was my favorite internet community/site ever. It's too bad about what happened with Ozma and Fistgrrl. Oh well.
