10 Websites from the Past 10 Years (that I have enjoyed) – Part 2
by Evan on Jan.05, 2010, under Entertainment, Links
Continuing our list of websites you may have missed from the past ten years or so, the remaining five websites are examples of those beloved sites that are no longer with us. Whether it be the stiff competition from other sites, lack of interest or just bad timing, these sites for whatever reason didn’t last. It is with a single tear that we remember them fondly.

pimpmybaby.comOriginally intended as a site for people to gussy up photos of their respective babies and enter them in “hot or not” style voting contests, this site was shut down by perverted-justice.com in 2006 on the hit television show “Dateline: To Catch a Predator” under suspicion that the owners were running an underground baby hooker ring. Shameful. |

xtremerabbis.orgIn operation starting in 1993, XTREME Rabbis was a haven for Rabbis looking for an outlet to express their love of Xtreme sports and Xtreme lifestyles. Complete with photo profiles, chat rooms and forums it was the most successful website of its kind until late 2002, during which a great deal of infighting as to which member Rabbi was most Xtreme erupted, resulting in a BMX competition in which all 14 members of the website were killed in a massive wreck. The website was mothballed immediately. |

mushroomcloudenthusiast.netFormerly the Internet’s premier forum for appreciating the beauty and splendor of nuclear explosions, the site was tragical brought to a close during 2003′s planned “Shroomfest” during which the majority of members attended a nuclear test in Nye County, Nevada. The gathering was raided by the DEA, who were under the impression that the event would be an illicit drug use party. The fleeing cloud watchers evaded the DEA during a 3 hour chase, eventually finding themselves within a quarter mile of the blast radius and winding up instantly incinerated. |
