I’m not sure what made me think this, really… I was just pondering all the ‘dead’ sites out there. There are loads of ’em. There’s a site out there by me, actually, that hasn’t been updated for six years, but still exists. (Just a fan site on Geocities. I’ve long since been unable to access it.)
So: there probably are sites out there lingering around that were done by people who are actually dead now. That’s what I was thinking. Old age, car accident, whatever. That’s a really strange and somewhat awful thought. That’s the Internet for ya.
