About WebAfterlife

WebAfterlife is an independent digital cemetery for the places and tools we used to log into. It brings together the histories of discontinued websites, apps, games, software, devices, and online communities, alongside the memories people still have of them.

What the archive preserves

A memorial explains what a service did, when it launched, how its story unfolded, and why it closed. Timelines, successors, and related memorials help put each entry in context. The archive describes these services; it does not host working copies of them or restore accounts and lost files.

Explore the old internet

Start with the searchable cemetery, browse archive categories, or use the Time Machine to see which entries were online in a particular year. Most Mourned ranks memorials by their flower counts, rather than by historical importance.

History and personal memories

Archive descriptions and community memories serve different purposes. A memory records someone’s experience; it is not proof of a historical claim. Entries with supporting references list them in their Sources section. Some memorials do not yet have linked sources and should be treated as starting points for further research.

Read our editorial and corrections policy for how we distinguish sources, dates, and personal recollections.
