Start a site documenting them and don't rely on Wikipedia.


And while it's all fine and well to not depend on Wikipedia... when the majority of people treat it like the word of god when it comes to "facts", it's important to work to help make it as accurate as possible.


Documenting what though? The sites are gone. I'm wondering if anyone knows of any pre-internet Archive efforts to capture large portions of the known web at the time? Finding something like that would probably the best bet I would guess.

Like guys who retained all of the early Usenet traffic, or mirrored old FTP/Gopher sites.
