The content on Felicifia.org was most important in my first involvement, though that website isn’t active anymore. I feel like forum content (similar to what could be on the EA Forum!) was important because it’s casually written and welcoming. Everyone was working together on the same problems and ideas, so I felt eager to join.
I also have never read anything on Felicifia.org (but would like to)! If there’s anything easy to link to, I’d be interested to have a read through any archived content that you thought was especially good / novel / mind-changing.
I can’t think of anything that isn’t available in a better form now, but it might be interesting to read for historical perspective, such as what it looks like to have key EA ideas half-formed. This post on career advice is a classic. Or this post on promoting Buddhism as diluted utilitarianism, which is similar to the reasoning a lot of utilitarians had for building/promoting EA.
