An interesting spin to this question would be "What are 5 websites you once visited daily but now no longer visit?" To answer my own alternate question: Bigges

An interesting spin to this question would be "What are 5 websites you once visited daily but now no longer visit?" To answer my own alternate question: Biggest one for me would be Slashdot. It was once a great site for tech news. I feel as though HN is the Slashdot of the present.

I think a lot of people here would be in the same boat with Slashdot. For me: - Slashdot - Facebook - AltaVista - Google Reader - BeyondUnreal

Slashdot would be pretty high on that list for me, but I still find there is a class of editor-selected article that slashdot pulls up that sites like HN miss. HN publishes faster, but in a more clique-based way. Slashdot publishes slower but sometimes catching useful things the clique missed.

Slashdot for sure. Along with sites that became abandoned over time such as Freshmeat.net, Kur05hin.org, and even such gems as advogato.org which seem to be on the decline.

  Heck, I had forgotten about Advogato. I had an account on it for a while, and there used to be some interesting and unusual articles on it sometimes. Just looked it up again. It seems to be on the Internet Archive now, and even has a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato
