The co-founder who didn't become a massively wealthy and successful video games man wrote a lovely clickbait article and it made me nostalgic for atrocity tourism in the pre-social network era of the internet. Also makes me wonder how literally every other person from that era that isn't Lowtax has managed to parlay their experience into money and/or legitimacy.

10 Favorite Portal of Evil Exhibits That Are Still Online

While many of the sites we featured have faded into bitrot, some are still up and running. Here are ten survivors.

Ulillillia

http://www.ulillillia.us/

A young man from Texas with profound obsessive-compulsive disorder, Ulillillia was beloved on POE for his thorough documentation of his mental activities (and the fact that he dropped by the site to talk about his imaginary friends).

While I appreciate Chet Faliszek's work as a video game humor writer, I don't appreciate the fact that Chet Faliszek shut down Portal of Evil to try and hide the fact that he spent a decade tormenting mentally ill people over the internet since it would look bad for the guy who wrote Portal and Left4Dead to have such a black mark on his past.

Portal of evil had VERY strong rules about not touching the poop that were violated more and more as the site aged.

I suppose it could have gone on longer, but the atrocity tourism concept was pretty much dead and buried six months into 4chan's existence.

The Weekend Web held out a little longer, and there's still good poo poo going on today if you know where to look.
