    Not defunct and was only my favorite for a very short period of time, but it left an impression and I still find myself referencing it from time to time. Serving the same great content for 25 years!

      mspaintadventures.com, home to the Homestuck web"comic" (it's very mixed-media) among others. It still exists, but doesn't work properly, in part because Homestuck was heavily built on flash animations.

            I liked the idea, but after a while it just kept sending me to the same places.

              I wouldn't say it was a number one favorite, but I feel like the internet isn't the same without timecube.com

                      I saw a thing once that archived it fully along with a sandboxed adobe flash, but idk how to find it now.

                      Not that it is even possible to catch up.

                      Shit didn't even make sense when it was drip fed to us, like tab from a nearly-empty can in the apocalypse.

                          VideoGameJams

                          Was a website of midi versions of video game songs and also had guitar tabs for the songs. I would legitimately just listen to those versions of the songs themselves.

                            YTMND from 20 years ago.

                            Technically it still exists but it's effectively dead.

                                    Reddit. Unfortunately it's defunct beyond repair now, but back in the day it was a nice place to discuss all sorts of topics with knowledgeable and like-minded folk.

                                      I make references to it periodically and only like 2 people IRL have gotten it.

                                          Digg.com used to be my absolute favorite. Then it got bought out by a company who turned it into a content farm and it eventually died out. Now it's back and owned by Kevin Rose again, and I do like it a lot better than Reddit, but I still spend more time on Piefed these days.
