The older the internet gets, the more it's like a city that keeps building on top of its own ruins. What's is your favorite bit of internet archeology if memes are like artifacts and relics?

FWIW, I also don't have my slashdot account anymore. They were dead to me the moment CmdrTaco sold the site roughly 15 years ago, so I never bothered to migrate my account to a new email. I don't think it is unreasonable to no longer have an account on a website from that long ago, if anything, it is surprising that Slashdot still exists in any form.

    oooh yeah, I vaguely remember the whole site taking on a significant tone-shift at some point. I think it was just before Columbine, bc when that happened I remember some new non-tech-guy doing a whole series of multi-part posts on it. Eventually after that I faded away from it.

    I just checked it out and yeah it's still there, chugging along.
