Smaller alternate history websites
Defunct alternate history websites
The Google Alternate History Group - The original home of
soc.history.what-if, one of the first ever places dedicated to discussing the alternate history genre and alternate history fiction on the Internet. The discussion group's history goes back to the days of
Usenet, and in the 2000s, it became a Google group. However, by the mid 2000s at the latest, much of SHWI had already been abandoned due to more modern ways of discussing and releasing AH fiction online. The final demise of the Google group incarnation of SHWI was confirmed in April 2018, due to years of neglect and damage by spambots.

Bronze Age New World - A famous older AH project from the earlier days of the online AH fandom, also from the
SHWI stable. Parts of the site survive as an archived version, archived since August 2016.

Texas Sports Column - Sports Columns with several alternate sports histories. (Dead since 2011)
1933: What If? - About a Nazi Germany-Britain alliance. (Dead since 2011)
Enigma - Future History - An interesting future history project written by a group of students in 1990 - it is now hilariously outdated, but is a good example of former futurologic stories becoming honorary alternate history over time. (Dead since 2008)
-
Non-English alternate history websites and forums
Uchronie.com - One of the longer lived French AH sites. Short TLs. More about experimentation than real followed alternate history, of a really irregular quality. Some TLs are interesting, some are totally ASB but still good, and an important part is just boring. (Dead since 2011)
-
La Porte des Mondes - No longer updated, this interesting website is about published French alternate history and uchronie and French editions/translations of foreign AH works. (Dead since 2015)
