Why a Memorial?
The internet forgets. Links rot. Services shutter. Communities scatter. We lose not just websites, but the memories, communities, and creativity they held.
This memorial exists to remember what we've lost — and to preserve the stories of the web's departed. Each tombstone is a tribute. Each candle lit keeps the memory alive.
