Geocities was not a website; it was a hosting platform for websites that users built for free. And it was around much earlier than 2009. I think it launched sometime in the mid to late 90s.
Sometimes I miss the early days of the web, when it was all kooky, extremely amateur-looking Geocities and Angelfire pages built by freaks and geeks to indulge their random and often very bizarre interests. Remember Peter Pan Guy? Or that site devoted exclusively to pics of people with mullets?

R22 I miss Realestalker They got bought out by or sold to Variety, and I think the brain(s) behind it, initially continued to write the column, but the writing was forcibly santized. No more "poopers" or "terlits", no more talking about their hot bitches (their dogs) no more blind items or gossip. Gone was the fabulously brassy style that made it so funny, charming, yet informative.

Trump and the GOP totally made Craigslist worthless by getting rid of the personal ads....There were rumors the owner was going to get a giant payday by selling it off in the early 2010s or go public. Now its probably worthless. Owner Craig Newmark claims he is "happy" he didn't sell. I seriously doubt that. And at least you could RESCUE women and victims with the personal ads and arrest people..How did shutting that down help anything?

R89, Connexion was a great and terribly underrated site, obviously also in terms of visits. It had the bones of a gay LinkedIn, a website that connected gay professionals, which I thought was a very helpful angle. I thought it had lots of relevancy. But then it went the way of many other gay themed sites that couldn't make ends meet by just displaying more or less flashy ads.
Is there another website that has taken the connect-gay-professionals space? Or is it really just LinkedIn now?

I loved how the site, back then, covered any show and series with any kind of gay content. Even foreign shows like the German daily soap Verbotene Liebe. Then Glee came along and it was the beginning of the end where fangirls gave the site so many clicks that the owners could sell it off for a profit and the new owners destroyed it making it more about fangirl shipping than the shows with actual gay content.

However, I have to admit that I am kind of proud of myself for resisting the morbid urge to check Perez's site.

This is super random but there used to be a website dedicated to everything about the film LOGAN’S RUN that was mind-blowing. It was called Vicki’s City Of Domes. It was started in like 1997 and became so full of information about the film over the years, she was even tracing the history of the films’ background extras! It was one of the most obsessive film worship websites I’ve ever seen. The photos she dug up were incredible. And the url was one of those weird free ones you got with a Netscape account, like snowcreast.netscape.vicki or something. It was up forever and only went down, finally, about ten years ago. I miss it! (big fan of the film here)

alt.showbiz.gossip and alt.gossip.celebrities.
They still may be out there, but they're nowhere near what they were during their late-90s heyday. Some truly witty people posted there.
The "A-List" post was a classic. It was a sort of user-expanded index of all the gossip/rumors connected to any celebrity you can think of (I will never think of Sylvester Stallone again without thinking of "juggle da balls" 😄)
Also, I think Matt Drudge started his Drudge Report on alt.showbiz.gossip.

Remember the whole We Hate Shannon Dougherty thing? Early-ish 90’s? It was relegated to print ‘zines and goofy magazine articles and a national trend (I think there might have even been a ‘humor’ book). But she missed semi-permanent internet infamy by a few years.

Yahoo was really the grim reaper for good internet ideas. They had GeoCities, a place for people to build online profiles or topical user generated websites. They had Yahoo Photos. Imagine a website where you can post or store your own pictures online. They had Yahoo Live where you post videos or live feeds. And then there was Yahoo Briefcase where you could store files online. Have you ever heard of such things? Right? Those are all dead ends. What internet user would want those things?

You're thinking of DAMON Kruezer of "Kreuzeratnight.com," R109. You probably confused him with David Forrest because they both blogged about gay porn stars.
Fortunately, Kreuzer's reputation as a cyberstalker and broke cyber-terrorist spread, so the gay porn industry stopped cooperating with him. He may have run into legal problems, too, as he was committing many crimes.
Unfortunately, Kreuzer discovered Datalounge during the Brent Corrigan/ Bryan Kocis murder scandals and began participating in threads here and even re-publishing some on his blog.
I believe Kruezer became one of our regular, mentally ill trolls and still lurks here. Lots of manic stalker threads, like those of Charmie or Pete Buttigieg and horror movies smack of Kreuzer.

There was a website by a funny and wicked woman who called herself “Princess Natalie” IIRC. She was a sort of demanding sugar baby and doninatrix and would berate men and demand they send her money and presents. She lived on CA or Nevada and complained about the Mexicans. She had a quiz called “Are You A Lopez?” I don’t know, I guess you had to see it. It sounds horrible but it was funny. I remember laughing out loud and wondering if she was serious.
There was also a BDF guy Jon who had an early blog called “Prehensile Tales”. I had a bit of a crush on him.

I had several Yahoo Groups which I started in the early 2000s. Hey were music groups and sports club related with members from a few hundred to 5,000. They were getting less active after 2010 and eventually Yahoo closed down all the groups. It was a good idea for it's time but social media sites eclipsed them.

It's kinda sad a lot of sites for gays and lesbians went downhill. They weren't just for hooking up but for connecting with like minded people who were into politics, art, music and other things. What is there left behind apps like Grindr which are filled with sex addicted psychos, serial rapists and drug users? I used to like a lot of gay men who had blogs on MySpace, Livejournal, Blogspot, YouTube (before Google ruined it) and these were people who were actually literate and had interesting things to say. The webcammers were very personable too and often created their own space with thier porn. Nothing lie these Twitter morons who can't spell, repost gifs and only debate on pop divas. Tumblr in the early 2010s was something special but it got worse when trolls took over and then banning porn was the final straw. I hope SpaceHey (the MySpace reboot) and NewTumbl take off.
