Favorite old websites?

Following on the "Old Web Sites" thread, I'd like to know which older websites from the 90's/early 2000's intrigued you the most. It doesn't have to be video game-related, just as long as it's an old site that may or may not still be active, or an older version of a website that has been updated since.
As a person who has an interest in MLB ballparks, I find "Stadium Mouse" to be a fascinating time capsule of late 90's/early 2000's internet. What draws me to this website so much since the past 12 years is "The Great American Baseball Trip" where back in the summer of 1997 (the same year my little sister was born), the creator visited every ballpark active at the time and wrote deeply detailed reviews of them. My only personal problem with it is that his review of the Astrodome - my favorite place in the whole world (hence my username) - wasn't very positive. I'm fine with him having an opinion, of course. But as the first domed stadium ever built, it invented several innovations still in use by ballparks today (i.e. luxury boxes, animated scoreboard, etc.). Sure it might have been a bad idea in the eyes of purists, but in the hearts of Houstonians like myself it will last forever.
If you have the same interest in where the Major League teams play like I do, you'll definitely enjoy this website. I know the Critic would appreciate their 5-star review of Camden Yards.
