Does anyone remember this site? Don't quote me on the years, but I remember it was absolute gold in 2008-2011 ish. Reminded me of the early web days and finding cool, indie shit online. Anyone have any history or fun facts? I'm assuming it went to shit when they tried to monetize it.

Any other substitutes out there? Would love to stumble on some new stuff.

Is it just me or was it just more fun back then?
