Edit2: I'll categorize this list by activity and create sub-categories later today and probably add to it over time. I put it together so it'd be easier for people to find fun fringe drama or otherwise be entertained. Enjoy!
Please comment if you have others to add to the list. I bit off more than I can chew because apparently there's thousands of these, so I omitted ones that were boring, inactive, and/or redundant.

Get your dentures ready, stir some metamucil into your monster and make sure you got some fresh depends on, you old fricks, it's time to reminisce. 
If you were speds like me and @garlicdoors you probably spent time reading content online instead of touching grass and playing sports or whatever kids did before ritalin, e scooters and tiktok
Youtube didn't exist yet, video hosting was incredibly expensive and IRC was still king. If you werent fortunate enough to have or borrow a credit card and get onto the somethingawful forums, you were relegated to free sites.
In no particular order, I remember spending a massive amount of time on

Maddox's Best Page in the Universe
Between all of those SA and PWOT were the ones that ate up most time by a huge margin. Maddox was in the top 3 but as a one man show his updates were less frequent. SA had an incredible archive of B list movie reviews, bizarre indie games and actually funny content. Every english speaking nerdy weirdo would have had some contact with SA in these years. The forums were like an neurodivergent library of alexandria. Meanwhile, the front page had Fashion SWAT, WTF D&D, roamin' dad and various short stories alongside the weekend web, where they'd showcase bizarre web1.0 sites.
PWOT had a front page that in my opinion was as good and often better than SA. The content was better written, even though it was slightly more normie pilled. The forums were less active and worse, but the routinely good articles made up for it.
At some point likely around 2004/2005 Cracked, a print magazine that had historically played second fiddle to MAD magazine, decided to retool its content for the web. Who made this choice, I don't know, but they were absolutely prescient about the future of content and their decision would without exaggeration change internet content entirely.
Before cracked the entire idea of content was different. Longform articles were king. Most websites were text with few pictures, hand written in HTML and still mostly called web logs as the term blog didn't exist yet. Most of this was due to bandwidth constraints. Anyone who was online at the time was on dialup, and complex content alienated your viewerbase, not only were load times glacial but it wasn't uncommon for internet to be charged by the kilobyte.
Maddox's content was pretty emblematic of the time.
It was just words, maybe a jpg. The format began to change with the advent of DSL and digital cameras, and so content diversified. Something changed and hosting costs became trivial and websites took full advantage. No longer could you store an entire web ring on a single floppy diskette.
The blogosphere took off but content was still esoteric and cozy. I remember this one guy who lived by the mexican border and would post weird mexican grocery store products, or this one nerd who designed a 555 timer circuit to trigger the camera he attached to his cat's collar. Now you can probably find thousands of hours of cat POV content 
but he might have been the only one to do it back then.
What does this have to do with Wong? He had cultivated a large following on PWOT and had by this time written at least one novel. His work ethic was admirable and he posted regularly and as far as I know wasn't involved in drama. He wasn't irony poisoned or egomaniacal, like Lowtax or maddox.
Him and most, if not all, of the PWOT writers were hired on by cracked. At first the articles followed the standard format at the time:
But some point around 2006 Wong struck gold with the Listicle format. Normies were flooding the net now, everyone was on facebook, eternal september was irreversible. Youtube was taking off and most sites were pivoting to video. Most notably CH and the Onion, who's content then declined dramatically imo.
It's fun to shit on listicles now but 2006 era cracked was good. The authors wrote long, informed and entertaining articles about all kinds of weird trivia. Traffic to cracked skyrocketed, proto redditors flocked to the site. There were still some essay posts and older style content at this time, but it was getting rarer. The format got clicks, and other sites took note. Almost overnight it seemed that the entire internet was just listicles.
But cracked's golden age wouldn't last. The content soon turned entirely to listicles and the well ran dry. I'm not sure if they ran out of good writers (how many people can condense an entire 101 history course into 6 funny paragraphs?) or if Wong saw that normiepilled content drove more views. Soon the topics were exclusively vidya, comics and pop culture.
Apparently it still pays the bills and Wong is still executive director and has not done anything notable since, to my knowledge. The site exists but the content is the worst it has ever been:

Oh?? You need to go to a town 50 miles away and don't have much time? No problem fam, you can go like 80 mph before a cop even GIVES A SHIT. That highway isn't anywhere near you??? Babe, you're so silly. They all connect and we can get you from A to B in record time, nw. Just listen to Siri and take exit 279B.
And those big scary trucks?? They aren't allowed in the fast lane. 😎 We even post cute safety messages on light up billboards so you don't forget to buckle up (the government cares about you, you don't need God).
God bless the US interstate highway system (especially the Stevenson Expressway) and God bless America.

Famous Dictators and Twink Death: A thread

Verdict: young Saddam looks like the kind of dork who wrote romance novels
Older Saddam looks like he wrote romance novels and got people to read them (fact: he actually did this)

He was one of my sister’s cat’s kittens that I was planning on keeping once he was a little bigger. I was really sad this last week but he at least died peacefully and was warm and happy.
We don’t know for sure why he died but he always had issues eating and got sick a lot. He was also much smaller than his siblings and looked like he had dwarfism or something similar. He died suddenly but at least with no pain.
I loved him 
His name wasn’t a SpongeBob reference it was just a randomly picked name.

The European Council says the new system will improve internal security, help prevent illegal immigration, and reduce public health risks.

I understand it’s an important historical event but it seems like it was just made up and everyone went along with it because they want a day off. I had never even heard of it before a few years ago. Big yikes, I know. I’m working on addressing my ignorance.

Huh
I'ma need a bigger bag for the cohort
Tryna make a millionaire out of slum dogs
Bet that, head crack, blunt force
Cozy with the east Africans up north
Where seven make a three, turn a ten by law
Crescent moon wink, when I blinked it was gone
Left the crib, smacked, no sheath on the sword
Made it by the skin of my teeth, thank God
'03, momma rockin' Liz Claiborne
Had her stressin' up the wall playin' Mary J. songs
Rainy day came, couldn't rinse the stains off
Long way to go, we already came far
Story stayed the same, it was never madе up
Threw me loose changе, look at what I made of it
When the mood change, I'ma poker-face 'em
It's a new day, who got all the aces?
Who be foldin' late? Who know when to play dead?
Who sit up straight when the roof caved in?
Had a full plate, you ain't wanna split it
Tell it to you straight, you ain't wanna listen
Cup runneth over the brim
Bust open, there's no closin' the lid
Drumroll, here go my lil' entrance
Gung ho, I'm the one that go get it
Five O's on me like the Olympics
Pure gold, somethin' told me, "Don't mix it"
Caught a feelin', momma had me out Temple
Not religious, we was really out Philly
Livin' on the fly tryna wing it
We got us a fire to rekindle
Redirect the fight where it's meant for
Triumph over plight and immense loss
Ride alone at night, I get clear thoughts
Caught a couple slights and I veered off
Saw another height, had my ears poppin'
Walked outside, it was still gorgeous
Sharp incisors reveal slowly
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
Uh, niggas still drummin'
Foot shook ground when I stepped on it
Didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
In the dark inside, we was real hungry
On a seven of the five, we was real hungry
And I didn't look back when I broke soil
'Cause every time I did it would hurt more
Alright
Yessir, this nigga spittin'
