I list sites as I find them and I will never promise to list any site in particular. If you have a site (or find link rot here) let me know.
I am still working out how to list everything in categories which don’t overlap and yet still make sense. Here is all of it, for now.
See also the Curlie web directory (formerly known as the Open Directory Project). I maintain the Urban Exploration category there.
