@Sprinkles-r5y i think he is using the term ironically and is probably talking about stuff from the 80s

these days not only is most of the old internet wiped out but its much harder to make new websites now because people prefer to use the same platforms no matter what. and google discriminates against more minor sites now so if you want do do something that is not welcome on the top websites its much harder now than in the past . if you go on wikipedia and you try to click the links to the source 90% of the links are shut down but they are often (but not always) on the wayback machine going back to 2008 .nobody bothered to create a modern equivalent of this site. i think they should just get rid of the books its easy to archive them i got a collection of books that are way older than the internet from when computers were as big as a house or didn't exist at all and they are in great condition. but some of the late 90s books reference websites and they are ofcourse nowhere to be found and were shut down less than a year after the book came out. there was one from 2004 that is really funny it was the encyclopaedia that never becomes out of date because you can print out the new versions .but they shut their site down in 2006
