You know there's a website I go to that seems to be on the verge of disappearing soon. Somehow I get the feeling it might be gone really soon but of course I hope it will stay as long as it can. 
There used to be Multiply, Friendster, Bubblews and other websites that have already gone and said goodbye from the world wide web. I miss Multiply the most because it was fun and was the first site I used to sell products with my design on 'em. 
When Facebook came into the picture after a certain time Multiply ended their site. Users eventually moved to Facebook because we were left with no other choice when Multiply shut down. 
I don't miss Friendster that much but Bubblews... Well, I think it was good while it lasted but I was only on there because of the money and nothing else. Didn't really enjoy it that much as far as I can remember but it did get me through and paid for some of my living expenses. 
Ah well. How about you? Which online site you used to frequent do you miss the most?

I miss Bubblews when it was at the height of its popularity when it was paying well.

@TheHorse Haha, I didn't because we could post everyday random stuff about ourselves on there. It was just fun to make 10 short posts a day and see the $$$ accumulate. :D Haven't been able to make that much in other sites so far. 
Most of the sites now require long posts.

I miss the money that I earned on Bubblews. I never received all of my payments, but it is still the site where I earned the most. I miss a Danish site called Mingler. It was a social networking site with many members.

I miss Bubblews. I earned the most there just by writing posts of 400 characters (lol)

There were two kinds of people that used Bubblews, those who got paid and those who did not. Guess which group I was in. I miss the Yahoo writing site the most. I did assignments for them and it was better paying than just posting something and getting paid a millionth of a cent if someone looked at it.

@hereandthere I do personal experience very well, for the most part. I used to be able to write three or four articles in a day. My brain is not that nimble anymore.

I also missed Bubblews because I earned a lot also there, although they did not pay during the latter part.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I think it would be hilarious if Avi Dixit wound up in the same cell as Donald Trump. Avi apparently threw some big parties with the money he scammed from his members. He and Donald could discuss this and that before satisfying each other.

I don´t miss any of them now to be honest although I did at the time.
I have left them in the past now they are gone forever for me.
I still miss a few of the people that were on there but nothing more than that.

Yes, I can tell you that with Bubblews it was more the friends I had made there than anything else as the earnings at least for this country were quite awful a lot of work too.
So for me it was more the friendship I had gotten used to.

@owstalaga It does suck when sites we love are no longer active! I can't really remember any site/s that I miss. The sites I'm on now pretty much keep me content.

Helium and Associated Content. They seemed to be doing good until they falter.

Towards the end they weren't able to pay anymore. Lots of people complained about it too which was really unfortunate but at least I was able to cash out everything except the last $$$ that didn't reach $50.

I used to love multiply better than friendster and I used to sell authentic Sanrio products from japan there too. Too bad it disappeared.

Yeah! It's just too bad they tried to make sellers pay for things in the end just to be able to sell. And so it went bye bye, at least that's what it seemed to happen.
Facebook ought to thank us Multiply users we all transferred there next. Unfortunately FB is getting dictatorial the past few years. Ugh.
