DataLounge is Gone After 31 Years

DataLounge

After 31 Years, it appears that DataLounge.com has quietly come to an end.  Beginning in 1995 DataLounge was the literal one and only Gay themed message board from those early, carefree days when the Internet was in its infancy.  Back then it was many people’s first foray into the internet and gay themed content.  At times, funny, gossipy, informative, and bitchy as well as caustic in some cases.  It was controversial at times but never boring.

In a sign that the Internet is always evolving, looks like DataLounge became obsolete in the social media age. Twitter X certainly eclipsed its function years ago.  More than anything else DataLounge was an archive of the early Gay Internet.

I will miss its glory days but it’s been dead lately. The fit-fat threads were my favorites!

Are there other similar sites that we can go to?

DL was a great pastime for pointless bitchery.  It had in-depth coverage on everything from politics to Hollywood gossip to sexy VPL.  If you could ignore the lunatics and trolls it was super fun daily reading.  

@Doe Be Doe, if you remove the space from the bold above, you can search where most DLers have gone.
