For the most part, honestly
even torrent despite fags here telling you otherwise, that's kinda a byproduct of the time, and because people thought internet was just a fade and didn't invest or care enough to maintain those sites, but in some places, they kept it like that because iré was cheaper, or where 5ish World countries who couldn't into codemonkey.
I miss the old internet, that's for sure, but at the same time, the spark and Magic of that era, was the fact that it had to fade away because of the novelty and such.
Yeah, you can maintain an old site from that era, but flash is dead Right now, people forgot their usernames and passwords for the sites, and at the same time, convenience of having everything in one simple place, simple for even pajeets and mexicans, ultimately ended the forums and blogs... For the better or worse (mostly the 2nd), it was kinda destined to happen after all... But at the same time, history is cyclical, just like human condition and such, and even if nowadays we are living in a gayer and shittier 70s or 80s, the next years kinda seem to be at change after all, maybe like a lite 90s with some edge sparking more frecuently, and with New technologies at the corner
>tl;dr
Old internet is dying and WILL die after all, but at the same time is a good thing because is a piece of time which wasn't corrupted by today shit, and, even if it doesn't seem like it, is missed and probably will revive someday
