What if ALoD is a weekly article submission? Whoever writes the best article gets the spot for that week. Although, it would be pretty time consuming to assess an article every week

I like this idea.

Seconding or thirding or whatever that weekend web needs to come on back. Forums are pretty much a dead medium so whatever smaller ones that are still going are bound to be super awkward and hosed-up-funny.

I'm pretty sure someone could just satire link popular websites with humorous text about their name, logo/image, users, and more for the next half a decade for ALOTD and it'd be like old alotd in terms of really annoying someone out there while also being entertaining.

Awful Reddit of the Day could draw similar ire. If you pick the right community they'll be mad it's "reddit of the day" instead of subreddit of the day. Although that's kind of weekend web territory.

Yeah but how are you going to choose out of all the god awful crap out there? I mean a good 10% of reddit alone would qualify. Back then you had to go out and really scrape the poo poo from the internets heel to get a really good ALOD. These days, most of that poo poo is mainstream, sitting seductively on someones chest while they take selfies about how the moist flakey load sitting on their tits looks suspiciously like Jesus or Trump or Hillary, and with a dozen B grade clickbait aggregators resharing it because those 10 loving page views it got somehow makes it "viral".

I guess what I'm saying is: you set the bar so drat high (or low as the case may be), how can you top it?

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

ALoDs were awesome back when the web was an exciting journey through webrings and some dude's crazy geocities site. Here is an article by furries explaining why Portal of Evil and SA stopped bothering with them:

https://www.flayrah.com/3438/early-atrocity-tourism-website-portal-evil-closes

quote:

Portal of Evil (PoE) closed down last week after over a decade of "atrocity tourism".

The site – founded in late 1999 by Cleveland, Ohio-based duo K. Thor Jensen and Chet Faliszek – was a directory of "weird, unusual and evil" websites, each discussed and mocked in turn by PoE forum members. Numerous furry sites were featured, including the website of 2 the Ranting Gryphon (who devoted a rant to PoE), Cub Central, and webcomics such as Sabrina Online.

The site never gained as much notoriety in the furry fandom as rival site Something Awful (SA), but PoE had a contingent of furry posters and as much furry content as SA, if not more. Members of the website were also important in the founding of later "anti-furry" groups, including the Burned Fur movement (whose website was, ironically, also featured on PoE) and the website Crush! Yiff! Destroy! (which closed down last spring).

Former forum members speculate that the proliferation of social networking sites, which effectively replaced webhosting services such as GeoCities, led to the gradual decline and ultimate shut-down of PoE. Such small, personal sites were an early staple of Portal of Evil. With a lack of new content, most of the forum's posters moved to PoE's sister site PoE-News, which features "evil" news.

A search engine created by forum member codehappy retains some information on the site, though it was last updated October 2005.

There is some forum speculation that the site may return; previous reports of the site's demise have been exaggerated.

Rest in peace atrocity tourism
