Which Defunct Website Do You Miss the Most?

You know there's a website I go to that seems to be on the verge of disappearing soon. Somehow I get the feeling it might be gone really soon but of course I hope it will stay as long as it can. There used to be Multiply, Friendster, Bubblews and other websites that have already gone and said goodbye from the world wide web. I miss Multiply the most because it was fun and was the first site I used to sell products with my design on 'em. When Facebook came into the picture after a certain time Multiply ended their site. Users eventually moved to Facebook because we were left with no other choice when Multiply shut down. I don't miss Friendster that much but Bubblews... Well, I think it was good while it lasted but I was only on there because of the money and nothing else. Didn't really enjoy it that much as far as I can remember but it did get me through and paid for some of my living expenses. Ah well. How about you? Which online site you used to frequent do you miss the most?

@TheHorse Haha, I didn't because we could post everyday random stuff about ourselves on there. It was just fun to make 10 short posts a day and see the $$$ accumulate. :D Haven't been able to make that much in other sites so far. Most of the sites now require long posts.

@TheHorse No, I never joined Epinions. Bubblews was not bad when I first joined, but little by little it became a horrible site. I was on Squidoo, an interesting new concept that worked until the original owner took care of the site.

Were you around for Epinions? Writing on Bubblews always made me feel "dirty," like sleeping with a girl who has had 80 lovers and has an STD.

I miss the money that I earned on Bubblews. I never received all of my payments, but it is still the site where I earned the most. I miss a Danish site called Mingler. It was a social networking site with many members.

If Avi Dixit and Donald Trump wind up as cell mates, would they establish a "relationship" an later adopt a child?

There were two kinds of people that used Bubblews, those who got paid and those who did not. Guess which group I was in. I miss the Yahoo writing site the most. I did assignments for them and it was better paying than just posting something and getting paid a millionth of a cent if someone looked at it.

No, most of us got paid "some of the time." That Avi Dixit dude had "delusions of adequacy." I sincerely hope he is wearing orange right now.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I think it would be hilarious if Avi Dixit wound up in the same cell as Donald Trump. Avi apparently threw some big parties with the money he scammed from his members. He and Donald could discuss this and that before satisfying each other.

@owstalaga Yes, I can tell you that with Bubblews it was more the friends I had made there than anything else as the earnings at least for this country were quite awful a lot of work too. So for me it was more the friendship I had gotten used to.

Towards the end they weren't able to pay anymore. Lots of people complained about it too which was really unfortunate but at least I was able to cash out everything except the last $$$ that didn't reach $50.

Yeah! It's just too bad they tried to make sellers pay for things in the end just to be able to sell. And so it went bye bye, at least that's what it seemed to happen. Facebook ought to thank us Multiply users we all transferred there next. Unfortunately FB is getting dictatorial the past few years. Ugh.
