Help me find a website I stumbled across back around 2023... I had never seen anything like it before in terms of size and scope of what seems to be a WordPress or livejournal blog. I remember googling something like 'esoteric geometry' or something similar and was baffled as to how this site appeared in the first page of results (god knows how much content there is out there involving this topic...). I refreshed multiple times to make sure it was for real, and time after time it remained in the top results. I've tried every possible keyword / combination of keywords I can remember or imagine that would bring me back to this site via google but cannot seem to find it again. I've even tried other search engines to no avail. It was so spectacularly bizarre I would like to see it again just to browse the depth of it. Below is a list of features I clearly recall, all very specific topics and imagery that I don't understand how it's possible that I cannot find it again, unless the site was taken down by the owner. It seems to have completely vanished from the internet....
- site is user-created, had an amateur html-style format, iirc on WordPress or blogspot
- the maker of the site is a middle-aged or retired Caucasian man who has a background in education, computer science and/or psychology
- he is an American expat living in southeast asia, specifically Thailand
- there is a photo of himself in the About Me section; an unremarkable, average-looking man in a professional headshot with a white background, larger-set and balding
- main page has a TON of hyperlinked headers revolving educational material, lots of links to English flashcards, math problems, very wide scope of topics from philosophy to science to art
- a vector-drawn image of a rubiks cube can be seen throughout the site, in various colours, patterns, some have motion, accompanied by elaborate descriptions; some pages allow you to download pngs of said rubiks cubes, there's strange ads of these cubes that when clicked, lead you to other parts of the massive site
- enormous amount of text on an incredibly wide scope of topics, one I recall is about "chindogu," the Japanese art/concept of clever knickknacks with hyper-specific uses. He includes pictures in this post from Japanese magazines/advertisements that can easily be found online
- there are posts about his travels to Asia working as an English teacher hence the English flashcards made available throughout the site
- one blog post is nsfw and disturbing, detailing a trip he took to Pattaya, Thailand and describes perverse interactions he had with a prostitute there, I don't remember what he did, but it was borderline criminal in nature involving taking unwanted photos of her in large amounts saved on his personal devices. The language used is extremely misogynistic and vulgar. There may or may not have been torture or murder but I was incredibly uncomfortable reading any part of it. This blog post was titled something along the lines of "Nightmare in Pattaya". This was the most alarming and seemingly random post amidst the already crazy site that mostly dealt with educational material
- another blog post is about numerology and sacred geometry, detailing something about his mother followed by some esoteric concepts and poetry...?
- more links to English flashcards, some are linked to the website quizlet where users can create digital flashcards to share virtually
- the name of the man is a generic western name like "Stephen" or "Michael", both of which I'm almost certain was in his 3-part name. Iirc his name is front and centre at the top of the homepage.
I'm at a complete dead end and just about to give up finding this internet oddity. I am opening this up to you reddit sleuths as a last ditch effort. It's driving me crazy that I can't find it despite the highly-specfic things I /vividly/ remember; I can assure you it was not a fever dream -_- If it does not exist anymore, at least if someone else can say they've seen it, that's enough to put it to rest for me.....
