    So I’m going to toot my own horn here lmao but personally? Mine lol. Sure, technically doesn’t precisely fit the bill for 20 years, given it’s changed domains, content and the such while I was ironing out my interests in life and future expectations.

    But I’ve had variations of the site for different projects, purposes, employment needs, and more recently the whole starting my own organization thing lol. All in all however, I’d compare it to those 3 generation soups that are a big selling point in family shops throughout the Asiatic, sure nothing of the original exists per se, but the spirit is there.

    I do have such a soft spot for the old ascii and plaintext site design, I’ve never really left the scheme since I first learned html. To me, the more basic a site has made it’s web design the more likely I am to trust it. Something about corporate web design just never sits right with me.

    gamecopyworld.com

    It always looked like you would catch at least one Trojan per download, but it’s the real deal if you are looking for cracked game.exes or at least it was back in the day.

      Thanks for the memory. I like how there is now a series of pre stripped strippers dancing on the right edge of the screen.

    I have a few niche sites. Many of them are dying slowly because, well us denizens are dying one by one. And there is very few that will replace us. The times have changed. Few care about old steam engines anymore. And 3D printing has supplanted machining metal in home work shops. And 3D CAD has replaced the drafting board.

    [https://www.modelenginemaker.com/] is an example were us old machinists design and build model steam engines just because.

      The esthetics are +20 years old. While dihydrogen monoxide has been a staple in my dad humor repertoire, this site is a banger.

      BTW, the post was downvoted. My guess is that it was one of the dyhidrogen oxide cartels.

    Super niche, but water-data.com

    It lists current and historical water levels, inflow and outflow data for all of the reservoirs in the upper Colorado River basin. It’s all html tables and graphs.

    I’v been watching it for at least 20 years and I don’t think it has ever changed.

        🤣 yeah no format change. Got me.

        The data changes every day. And it’s been getting more and more depressing.

    coolsig.com

    It’s where I got my cool sigs! Also, it looks pretty much identical to how I remember it. I only found out it was still running a month or two ago.

        I have no idea. Given its age, probably either hand coded or using a template / theme. It has a little bit of information about its creation at the bottom of the front page.
