The internet is getting smaller.

Who among you guys miss the feeling of being so darn desperate to watch a specific anime, let's say Angel Sanctuary, which you only knew through fansites; but you just can't find any site streaming it or hosting it for DDL? LOL. I remember myself lurking 'round the internet, trying to gather as much information as I can about my favorite anime because I cannot afford to get myself an original copy with English subs (I was only in elementary back, then I think?); nor there were any sites that stream or host it. Fortunately, there were a lot, and I mean a damn lot of informative fansites back then. I think, that may actually be the reason I thought the interwebs seemed larger before.
Forums back then were REALLY active too.
Nostalgia.

Definitely, I used to search for cartoons and anime all day and never find anything except pictures and some post. It took me years to find shadow skill before like a week later it was streaming. I guess I'd be more content if forums I knew wasn't falling out of play left in right but it's like they all or dead or super mainstream that I lose interest.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case some 12 or 13 years ago.

Keyword in blue. New things pop up when least expected.
Also, speeds were much slower back then and much of the content would have been nearly all text, perhaps with dull coloring.

you're only isolating yourself in facebook and torrent sites, thats your problem.
theres a crap ton of other games floating around the internet, a huge majority of them are junk but what? 1% of a million is still thousands, as if you'd be able to manage to play all that.
and this is only one part of the internet, theres social websites, chat sites, online-market, auction sites, forums, review sites, torrent sites, and the list goes on plus it's growing by the minute.
theres also underground websites thats practically hundreds of folds larger than the surface internet, this includes porns, military sites, government sites, illegal sites, torrent sites even.
