Rec'd on 🏟️ 7/10: INTERESTING PLACES TO VISIT IN YOUR CITY

and regrettably all sites of chris chan history :(
edited to add: I have not shared this lore but a large part of my adolescence was dotted with Chris Chan sitings and experiences, my mom even recognized her and would text us when she saw her, which you can imagine is very unsettling in retrospect. My brother and I would frequent the game store and the mall she got banned from. I think my parents moving us here was the beginning of my downfall and ended any chance I had at having a normal life. This is the tip of the iceberg of bizarre fucked up things in this town, IYKYK. It’s so weird how people worship and idolize this town and are genuinely jealous that I grew up in a place like this. God has cursed this land!!!

I genuinely think you’ve earned a place in a witness protection program just for living there tbh

@SHEEPPARALYSIS my brother matched with a girl on a dating app from the midwest who recently came to the coast and was surprised with how excited about his hometown she was. Turns out she had been planning a “pilgrimage” for years to visit the “sacred sites” and thankfully he unmatched her immediately. It’s rough out here.

Fan sites

I hate that subreddits and shitty corporate owned wikis replaced fan sites and fan forums, with a few exceptions. I got banned from the Animal Crossing Community Forums for telling someone I was only 11 years old and that they shouldn’t be so mean to me!!!
unrelated read Kirby Informer site they’re bringing th swag back i definitely do NOT write for them.

the Mothership (skrillex fan forum)

used to spend hours digging for set rips, fan theories, and remakes. met some URL friends that later became IRL friends, got signed to a record label made up of other fans where i released some god awful dubstep, still keep up with some folks on socials that i met on there. ended up shutting down like 8 or so years ago and everyone just went to r/Skrillex on reddit which is how i got on reddit. very influential place for my online experience and this site def brings me back to the energy that site had, just a bunch of nerds with niche interests who just wanna talk about it with other nerds
EDIT: looks like they got a bunch of captures of it on wayback machine, big nostalgia trip looking at these

twocansandstring.com

This is the only website that I ever truly stumbled upon and kept using. A total relic of the forum era. Anonymous ask and answer, forum, some extremely homemade but fun games, and collaborative pixel art. I have no clue at all how many people use this site, it could be 25 or 3,000. It still feels like a place to go online, and it was really important to me as a forum without the stakes of permanence and publicity that make the modern social internet feel so hostile.
