To anybody who was an otaku in between the 90s to the mid 2000s, what websites do you remember?

I'm trying to make an archive of old anime websites, and I've been thinking about asking anyone here if they remember any.

So far I have about 20 GeoCities pages, 3 AngelFire pages, and 3 actual webpages.

I also remember a thread on /a/ about anime BBSes in pre-html(?) days, telnet and such and there were screenshots of ranma pixel art.. tried to dabble in that once but it's too high level for me.

In those times I watched anime mostly though TV, but I remember browsing a bit of Detective Conan though Dailymotion and YouTUBE.

That's it.

Honestly. I can't even remember websites I had gone on for Anime content - mostly because I was just getting my links from my best friend though MSN Messenger.

It was dark times back then and my wonderful bestie was my guide though the hell that is known as the anime community.

AnimeAdmirers. Is it still active?

I also hanged out in AniDB

In Israel, we had IsraTaku which died but was an amazing community. Anime-IL was another huge forum that sadly died.

Damn... I didn't even have any internet connections below 2010s...
I rely on watching animes on whatever being shown on TVs, as well as Animax.
It's time to play the Game folks!
