List of Comfy Websites
4chan regulars often ask for recommendations for 'comfy' websites. Now that the consolidations are mostly over, smaller and niche sites are almost impossible to find and are actively suppressed by the ruling corps. For instance, Google will do its best to bury the InstallGentoo Wiki and Neocities in it's search results, as well as Encyclopedia Dramatica, but that's probably fair.
