Is losing a fan site really that big of a deal?

That Space Jam fan page detail hits hard. I had a whole Sailor Moon shrine on Angelfire with glitter graphics. Lost it all in 2005 when my family switched internet providers and I forgot the password. The visitor counters were the best part, watching those numbers climb. Feels like a whole piece of the early web just evaporated.

Honestly, those boards just bum me out. Every single one is a small tragedy or a dead end. That cat is probably long gone, and now someone's phone number is just out there for anyone. It feels less like a world of stories and more like a graveyard for lost things and failed plans.
