Ask HN: What website, from your early days on the net, do you miss?
The <i>old</i> slashdot.org<p>The <i>old</i> digg.com<p>Web Rings were amazing, and I think the idea still has merit. Why did everyone stop using them?<p>My ealiest memories were pre-net, on Prodigy and AOL, long before they were 'net connected and could email each other. I learned what connectivity was at 2400 baud. I didn't discover BBS's until much later, around 1993-4,and was at 14.4k at that point. I never really understood fidonet, but played some of the BBS games and downloaded some warez from a "31337" BBS with a backdoor whose login was "elite". At least the sysop didn't call himself "Crash Override".
