I literally just went to Zombocom last night (you can do anything there, after all). I can't help but stay for the full audio loop every time. It makes me so happy that the site is still up and functional after all this time. To me it's like a small link back to the past when the internet felt more fun.

Zombocom has stayed active for longer than many actual, revenue-having businesses. Zombocom is more reliable than the average Google product. I will gladly accept Zombocom platform lock-in, because it is a name I can trust.

  I was convinced the death of flash would mean the death of Zombocom, but the fact that somebody took the time to migrate it to HTML5 makes me so, so happy. I should never have doubted it. After all, the unattainable is unknown at ZomboCom.

When is the library of congress going to wake up and realize that some sites needed preserving digitally with the resources of the US government? Why does Internet Archive have to be the main driver of things like this? We KNOW (I mean, wow do we know) that the US government has copies of practically everything since... decades ago. Probably multiple copies in separate intelligence agencies and the like. Or at least fund something like Internet Archive with the best semipermanence that the government is offering. Certainly it is worth one boondoggle F-35 jet per year. Then again I'm mystifyied why various agencies aren't funding Haiku/Beos, OpenBSD, and linux to the tune of a billion dollars a year just for secure computing reasons alone. Man, what is Zombocom worth in domain rights and NFT? ANYTHING.

I periodically visit http://www.31337.com/ http://www.31337.com/ just to make sure it's still content-free for a similar reason.

  I’m just sad that humanskullwarehouse.com appears to be defunct.
