A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Hallpass.com Now godaddy wants $250k for it.
I remember when they got rid of the porn (like every website, it was their downfall)
Altavista - the first Search Engine.
I am confused, most of these responses have sites you can go back and visit on the way back machine.
But your questions is "find no trace of".
Which is it people?
This is just barely in the 1990's, but The Conversatron comes to mind.
There was quite the cottage industry around Quake in the 1990's. From GameSpy for finding matches/servers, to news and modding sites for which I can't quite recall the names.
There's also countless companies and startups that either went bust or were eaten by other companies.
Meanwhile, there's stuff still online from then that has no right to be. SpaceJam comes to mind.
Much less important than some of these, but there was a British history teacher, Jonathan Pagel, who made some "history raps" for his class back around 1995 and 1996. His website went down many years ago, but the URL was still embedded in a comment in one of the files that I had, and I dug them up with archive.org's Wayback Machine.
They were released under the GNU FDL, so I can repost them:
- consumption junction (whats your dysfunction?). it was a wild site.
There was an alternative search eingine to altavista, where you searched for cracked programs etc. I think it was attilavista or something like it.

It was a blog written by a young guy who had an amazing ability to put his struggles into words. I was an angry/sad teenager at the time and reading his blog made me feel like I wasn't the only one. I hope he's out there and doing ok. He loved the band Sloan and his family.
I've tried a few times to find a trace of his blog, and no such luck.
