What's your favorite internet "oldie"? (beehaw.org)

In honor of the death of Reddit (I hope), let's harken back to a simpler time, perhaps when we old-timers were migrating from BBS chatting to Slashdot to Reddit. My favorite "oldie" is "The Website Is Down," from 2009-ish. It perfectly captures what IT support is like.

What's your fave?

This just made some very rusty neurons fire, and I remembered FMyLife for the first time in 10 years.

...and it turns out it actually still exists, wow.

FML was the best. I had some app for it for android, not sure if it was the official one, but it was essentially just text and a few basic buttons. I could spend hours scrolling that thing.
