Y'all, this ProtoWeb is pretty freaking cool! It is an http proxy you can use in olde browsers and it preserves the old web from the late 1990s. However, they also have runescape (using an open source server) served over it, as well as real radio stations that work with winamp, up-to-date live weather data, and an old YouTube clone, that supports flash and realplayer, called WarpStream that duplices the YT videos from before 2010. It allows you to sign up and comment on videos. I believe they also allow you to link up your own youtube account so that those videos will work over WarpStream too.

You can check it out here:

You can also become a contributor to help bring more old websites back online.
