TVTome was my very first. Such a fun site. Basically a proto-wikia from the early 2000s. You managed a page for individual TV shows and filled it with info, and every show had it’s own forum attached, that you moderated.

https://web.archive.org/web/20040727075622/http://www.tvtome.com/ (19 years and 3 days ago)

And then, as a sign of things to come over the next 20 years, the onwer of that site sold it off, along with all the community created works, and the community forums that went with them, to some trash company whose name I can’t even remember anymore, and it doesn’t matter because they probably got bought at some point too.

TVTome became TV.com, over the massive protests of its community. And it went to shit immediately.

Now tv.com is…shit, it isn’t even around anymore? Wikipedia and Wikia destroyed that niche, and then Fandom enshitifed Wikia.
