What website that you use to visit regularly you no longer or rarely visit?


For me it's Yahoo since they no longer let you comment on articles.

IMDB

IMDb--Pretty much only use when I am playing Stonekeeper's game.

The Straight Dope - Too crowded, has long since stopped being fun (for me, at least). https://boards.straightdope.com/

Customers Suck - I don't think the present site is the original, which was owned was a former Blockbuster employee. I myself was working part-time at a Blockbuster while going back to college in the early 2000s. It was a lot of fun to swap stories, and comment on customer service in general. Since I no longer work in a service industry, I really have no reason to participate. http://www.customerssuck.com/board/

TheSein (Seinfeld fan site) - Started when IMDb shut down the boards. It was great fun a while, but the owner failed to attract or recruit new members, so I left after a year or so. It's still around, with a core of maybe a dozen regulars, but there have been no new members since I left, and that's quite a while ago. thesein.freeforums.net/

I second the mentioned of Cracked.com. It's become more and more superficial. LCD on steroids.

I still go there every few days, but it takes a couple of week's worth of visits to capture even my mild interest compared to what even a day's viewing would bring a few years ago.

Twitter. Deleted mine a while ago.

Good move. Facebook, Twitter and their ilk are nothing but data-collection entities masquerading as social networking sites. Facebook tracks every keystroke so they can create demographic profiles of the users and lists of their interests. They do this so they can bombard members with specifically-tailored pop-up ads and spam e-mails.

I've never had a Wastebook account and never will. The same goes for Twitter and the others. These companies are the biggest time-wasters and invaders of privacy ever conceived.

For me it was about the negativity. You can say the most innocent thing and someone would find a way to make it political and attack you.

same for soccer

People are upset that some of the Dutch fans brought in gay pride flags to the stadium.

that explains a lot.

Obviously IMDB: No more discussions and this place somewhat replaces it, but I feel like we are not even 5% of all who used to to be IMDB.

Cracked & Boing Boing: 2 sites I used to love until they started pushing political agenda around "gamergate" . Boing Boing banned me for 2000 years(seriously) because I criticized Anita Sarkeesian.

That Guy with the Glasses/Channel Awesome: That was my go to site for years. I still follow Ashens and Angry Joe on YouTube and that's about it. Most of the content creators really got on my nerves over the years.

Facebook. This is like myspace at this point. I'm almost done with social medias as a whole. I only lurk on twitter to see comments on latest events as discussions are not allowed on news site anymore.

Not a website but Netflix. I watched it all the time when I first subscribed but now I hardly ever watch it.
