It's been quite a trip in the last 20 years, I can say that! well put together article by the way, e-punk

I wish I had older backups so I could get more than screenshots going but it was fun digging those up, seen some more in the attachment archives, I only looked at my own when doing the article.

Wayback Machine has results but not sure what you are after.

 

[Electronic Punk]

Nothing really, just always nice to see the result of the small iterations I make.
Even now, have a few notes on my desktop of a few changes I wanted to do. Minor stuff like making avatars less round 😀

Also got a dev site up to test the new Xenforo 2.2 beta as it might require a few changes on the portal, but hoping not!

From Internet Archive October 24th 2001 and does not even have a picture logo yet. I think XP officially came out the 25th (notice XP Countdown at the top and survey bottom right) .

This one too:

XP-erience.org your source for Windows Xp Guides Tweaks Downloads Themes Support

Funny how the archive saves some images but not others, I think I actually used one of those and manually repaired some images.

Still here since...omg...since 2002! That's back when active desktop scripts were better than sliced bread, the VoodooLights screensaver was epic and 1/4 of my work day was spent perusing the forums. I lost all my custom OSNN art and wallpapers years ago but I still have a few of my vintage NTFS avatars and sigs! Ah, the memories... And so sorry to hear about Sazar, that's really sad.

This trip down memory lane has been a trip, thanks for sending out the spam EP 🙂

I stopped by just the other day but prior to that it's been years since I last visited. Nice to see some veteran XP-erience / NTFS / OSNN people are still alive and kicking ass.

I remember you!

Special bonus, the forums from 2004 as well although this particular copy was running on my development server (aka my desktop)

I am surprised Perris hasn't stopped by!

 

[unknownsoul]

Wow, it's been forever since I dropped by, but got the email the other day and was wondering how everyone was doing. So many familiar faces!

 

[Electronic Punk]

Just recieved? Must have gone snail mail 😀

 

[unknownsoul]

Well, I do live in the boonies. 😀
