Mine is this tiny old community. It was called Impish Idea, and it was a writing criticism thing. I joined it late in its lifetime, after watching for a long time. I had maybe a few months of active commenting on it. I was commenting as 'Brooklyn', not my real name.
Once it had been bigger, but when I joined it was tiny. Me, someone who could make new posts and not just comments, and a few other people. But I loved it. It felt like the sort of place where I could actually have discussions. It was far away from SEO-optimized stuff. It was real. Genuine.
And then one day, it showed a 'database unavailable' thing. As I'm writing this, it still does. No explanation, no nothing. Just 'database unavailable'. All of it that wasn't archived is gone, including the last post (I think--I don't know) that was made to it.
I have no way of contacting anyone on it. It's just gone. And I miss it. It was one of the first communities I joined that wasn't Facebook-y social media.
I was just wondering what other sites like that you guys have, small communities or sites that vanished. Or ones that haven't been updated in ages. Or ones that were sold off and became different.
