Web Links
Inspired by Peelopaalu (RIP) and /g/ websites threads. I started this circa. end of October 2019 and have been slowly adding to it ever since.
If you like the list and like what I put here and want to contribute then email me them at num@privatevoid.net!
The format is as follows:
Link to site
| information/findings | Here is a description of the site. |
|---|
| genre | And this is a way for me to simply categorise the site. |
|---|
Links will all open in a seperate window/tab based on browser settings.
BTW! I also have a blog where I post ramblings and topics that, I think, are valuable to talk about.
ALSO ALSO ALSO hosting /g/'s based/good sites because no one else seems to be updating their mirrors.
Enough reading, to the links!
