Last week , we require youwhich dead or long - disregard website you want disperse offand bring back to biography . You answer the call — all 433 of you who gloss — and the result was a term of enlistment of the best site of the 90s and early 2000s . Here are the seven site you miss the most . Let ’s surf the web of nostalgia .
Homestar Runner
The number - one choice , perhaps not astonishingly , was HomestarRunner.com . Some of you did n’t realizeThe Brothers Chaps are allegedly - hopefully - jolly - pretty - please bring the site back , whileothers among you are skepticalthat Strong Bad and gang will ever actually return . Here ’s hop thatThe Cheat ( and everyone else ) is not all in .
Myspace
Plenty of youlovedthe O.G. social media site , whichfrom 2005 to early 2008was the exclusive most - visited address on the integrality of the internet . It ’s still alive — sorta — but a buyout , a personnel casualty of focussing , and the steamroller that is Facebook have all conspire to kick it far from its once - halt stand . But you miss those golden days , just like Justin Timberlake in all likelihood does .
Megaupload
great deal of youmentionedfile - sharing websitesof one sort or another , but Megaupload stood head - and - shoulders above the rest in your corporate mind . In fact , those of you who leave out Megaupload also observe italongside other roguish websitesthatran afoul of the law . Ride on , you cowboys and cowgirls of the unregulated web .
Suck.com
Here ’s one I ’d forgotten about entirely , butyou did n’t . Suck.com was sort of the original news / tonic - culture / chin-wag / politics / whatever site , with a solicitation of pseudonymous personality that serve define the nonchalantly wise sound of the internet that still admit rightful today . Sadly , this internet forebear did n’t endure to see the image it impressed on our judgement . RIP , Suck.com .
Compuserve
CompuServe is still alive and on a regular basis updated in 2014 , but confab it is a time - warp back to the ugly graphics and janky layouts of the Windows 2000 era . In special , you really lose itsinscrutable email address formatand$6 - an - hour pricing . Okay , maybe “ miss ” is n’t the right word .
A Bunch of Dead Google Services
A mountain of youmiss iGoogle . Some of you , apparently , will confess your love for Google ’s defunct homepagefor the respite of your living . That ’s not the only dead Google feature of speech you miss , though — some of youjust wo n’t forgivethe death of Reader , and there’sa whole graveyard of other characteristic that Google has iced over the age .
MulletsGalore
The lofty hairstyle sleep together as the mullet would ’ve probably decease a slow , silent , noble death , were it not for MulletsGalore . But the internet site that made mullets a punchline has itself been sweep into the internet ’s ash bin . Gone , butnotforgotten .
Honorable Mention: Manbeef, Bringing Commenters Together
Not too many of you remembered Manbeef , the hoax “ human essence distributor ” that used the highly early-2000s trend of range of mountains email to play the long gyp on easy - outraged internetters worldwide . The domain ’s long been drained , buttwocommentersrememberedit . When it comes to cannibalism - themed internet fraud , outstanding minds think likewise .
