Who gets sad at old websites?

[Attacker3]

I do, whenever I see an old website or a forum that has just been abandoned it makes me feel sad, with a touch of nostalgia even if I never heard of it before. Anyone else get this feeling?

Surely. Nostalgia overload.

Yeah, if you think about it those forums could have been a hub for many friendships. Just like one of my RP forums I went to for star wars is now dead, and that hurts me so much. It's a good/bad hurt.

It's sad to see iHalo DS/iSlayer threads on here with dead download links and the site now redirecting to one of those "WIN AN IPHONE 7 2 DAY JUST ANSWER DIS ONE QUESTION".

Took the words right outta my mouth. Nostalgia
Same with Pokemon...Nostalgia

Not even just the old website, but think if it was left like that to this day? What if we all just stopped posting here now, and in a couple years we look back at what we had?

What if we all died, and someone in 5 or 10 years wondered how we acted here. Our friendships would be a complete mystery. They would look at this with wonder, but in the end would leave.

yeah back in the day i ran a few gaming clans and associated forums , i wonder where all those peeps have gone..

Coming back to a dead forum is like being immortal while all of your friends die one per one over time.

And yes, I stole that from pokemon or zestiria or something.

My precious, beloved Pokecheck
So many memories, and now it's down (probably, forever...)

I think it would be fun if the internet just entirely died and the world exploded

I remember my old Neopets days, back when my internet was a speed 64kb/s (later 128 kb/s) it was the only site that actually loaded at a decent speed for me, so I was always on there.
Look back at it now, it's changed, but it's clearly not the massive site it used to be.

man actually I fell sad about old things but I think this is related to my pessimism? idk I think stuff passed and , vene knowing O learned and grow a lot I only can see like nothing happened and i fell stuck x3x
I have this with old photos, memories .. oh well
Nostalgia fells different like playing again mickey and donald or power rangers on a Snes with my cousin like we did when we where kids hahah it's more reviving the moment , not just remebering it ?

I remember a fansite called the Super Mario Bros HQ, back when fansites mattered...

I mainly get this feeling from Caiman.us
Back when I was a kid, I would download freeware games for days, and I was active on that forum. I check back every now and then and the forum is barren, also the owner died quite some time ago.
