There’s this site I used to go to a few years ago, but cannot remember the name of it for the life of me. The premise was that members could join a futuristic community of sorts. You had your own avatar, and could “buy” your own house and stuff. You could download this program that allowed everything to be in 3D, otherwise it was in 2D. There was a town square, I believe, and various other forms of entertainment in the forms of links to other sites. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, it’d be helpful. Knowing the status of some sites, it could have shut down long ago. 
Was it Cybertown?
