On this site, you will find personal histories, preserved documentation, elusive imagery, and fond recollections of bygone forums and closed chatrooms. Though the communities themselves may have closed their doors or fallen victim to link rot over the years, the connections and friendships made on and through them have been preserved, and this Museum plays host to demonstrations of that fact.
Some commonalities emerge through the attestations in the Museum: Neopets, Gaia, AOL Chatrooms. But there are more, by far, of the tiny, obscure, extremely specific special-interest sites that once dominated online culture. Forgotten boards abound— or not forgotten, for as long as there are members of communities around to remember them, and hold fast to connections made through them, they will not be completely gone.
