I feel like I do this a lot with podcasts. I started watching the Gus and Eddy podcast and finished it about a month before the last episode was released for example.

It could be anything though. An online game, an OS, a console, TV show, a forum, or anything else. I'm just curious what people have to say.

It also doesn't need to be "dead". It could just be a significant change where a chunk of the community left.

Laser discs and quadraphonic LPs.

Playing back quad was such a pain

Really? I've found it to be as easy as a standard LP. 8 Track quadraphonic, now that's a whole different kettle of fish

The standard I gave up on was the one with the extra channels encoded on high frequencies that needed a clean hyper elliptical and required demodulation that never seemed to work right.

If you’re talking about the one with phase encoding then yeah that worked good.
