New idea; Travel the lands of "angelfire"

There are WAY more websites hosted there regarding animation and comics than any other topic.
At the time, it wasn't "social media" buzzing bullshit and qualified as having your own website with a built in catalogue. The only problem was that it ended up looking like a billion different websites, some finished and others left at "here is a sprite sheet of anime characters from my super nintendo," and the vast majority of angelfire sites were bought and then never had anything done with them.
My advice is to remember this; it's not as big as it seems.
