I've seen several fandom wikisInternet subculture surfing and archaeology is my favorite hobby, I do it for fun, not for researches. I have seriously considered quit software engineering and move to social science, but it will remain as a hobby.
I've spent a long time browsing alt.folklore.computers and Usenet FAQs from early Usenet archives, or reading the long-deleted 4chan posts from Bibliotheca Anonoma [0], a repository of history and folklore from Something Awful, 2channel, 4chan, and looking up and laughing at memes that nobody remembers. Or read the early writings and thoughts of online personalities long forgotten.
The biggest frustrating in my exploration is meeting a dead link that hasn't been archived by archive.org, if it occurs, all bets are off, the journey ends officially. By erasing a webpage, parts of the collective history and culture is thereby removed.
I've also seen the death of endless small communities due to changes of circumstances, usually without a warning and happens overnight.
The lesson is that we should donate to archive.org today, just click here. https://archive.org/donate/
