There was one great thing about Rotten.com and that wad the Rotten Library, which was a treasure trove of suppressed information. A lot of people first found out about MKULTRA there.
The meth’d out biker couple that killed the woman’s husband and then had sex on his dismembered corpse and the dude who used a heater to heat his bathwater, died, and was cooked to the bone, just an evaporated goo scum at the bottom stick with me. Were the Jack the Ripper crime scene photos legit? It was possible, never sure if those were fakes but damn, they were something.
Nice site, just wish I saw it when I was much older instead. I wasn't ready to learn visually what happens when you jump under a running helicopter when I was 12. Also the snake that ate an adult man made sure to make it's return in my nightmares many times.
I always liked the picture of the body in the morgue bent over with its own head up its ass, even though it was fake as fuck. Great reaction pic for telling someone to pull their head out of their ass.
Yes I don't remember the relationship but one of the three turned into the other and I always mix them all up. I think ogrish became liveleak but it might be rotten became liveleak or something like that.
Fun fact: In the very early days of the internet, around the Windows 95/98 era, rotten.com was originally named thecreepingeyemorgue.com
Yes I'm that old LOL! I only know this because my friend's dad was a cop, and when he'd be at work, we'd browse through his internet search history. Turns out friend's dad was a bit of a psychopath..
It's actually kind of hard to find the og goatse pic now. I have all 4 angles saved on my phone, I send them to spam numbers. They never text me again for some reason.
The best part is, my text app allows 256 pics to send at once, I have 256 copies in that folder to attach. If they receive pics, they're getting pounded with goatse.
Before that we watched Faces of Death videotapes. I don't know what it is about that morbid curiosity in your later teens... Grew out of ot though. I just couldn't stomach it. Barely ever checked out rotten.com.

Reminds me of a time when shock and horror websites were still marginally more disturbing than regular news.

It was cruel and horrifying. I saw stuff there as a kid no one should have to see. The worst parts of humanity.

Archive?

That was definitely a messed up website. Anyone know what happened to it?
Blackmist@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 70d
Users probably just moved to Reddit /r/watchpeopledie instead, before they decided money was important and blocked all the questionable shit.
It still lives at watchpeopledie.tv, presumably scarring a new generation of 12 year olds.

Used to go to Bestgore as well but the admin turned out to be a literal nazi

It turned into ogrish or liveleak? All that kind of shit never goes away it just moves and multiplies.
Kolanaki@pawb.social · 4 pts · 71d
Ogrish and Rotten were two totally separate things that existed at the same time.

Wow. Good move. But keeping them on your phone… and I didn’t know there was more than one angle…
Widdershins@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 70d
There was a whole set of 40 images called gap.zip
E: if you dig a bit you can find it on the internet archive.

They're in a hidden folder that can't be pulled up accidentally

Holy shit that’s brutal. You should follow up after a few days with another blast. If they don’t block you after the first, that’s their fault!!!

Seriously; can you DM them to me?
thermal_shock@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 70d
Sent the two I have on my phone. Maybe there are only 2, can't remember now. Will see if I have the others later.

Kids today don't know what brain rot really is.
We saw the photos.
And the videos, when we "borrowed" that unmarked VHS tape from our wired uncle.... Faces of Death.
