@molly0xfff It felt like there were *more* websites? All of them small and niche - really catered to a specific set of interests.

I was a mod on a Green Day fan site. I was a mod on a small fan fic website. I built a Harry Potter fan site and connected it up to heaps of other HP fan sites. I spent a lot of time on Neopets and Habbo Hotel. Forums! So. Many. Forums.

And all of these sites looked different and functioned differently.

Everything now just feels and looks the same.
