    Here's a flashback some of you will remember! :cool:

    Was playing around with the Wayback Machine Internet Archive - here's a look at the forums back when they first started. We were using WWW Board back then...one page with nested threads/replies.

    You can see more of it in the archive here.

    Looks like we all had some good times back then. It's a shame that the individual threads aren't preserved because I don't remember the content of those old posts very well, but some of the post titles are a hoot (i.e. "BobF is so full of crap!").

    Now for some reason, I've suddenly developed a craving for a nice, hot Pizza from Shane's Pizza. He's located right next to Food Lion, doncha know!

    I have a sports forum I go to that's still set up that way. aggravating. Good job updating thru the years, although it would be cool to see a first post.

    Actually, the site went live on April 11, 2000. We didn't initially have the forums...they were added several months later.

    I moved out here in May 2000. I remember seeing the signs for it but I can not remember when I initially signed up. Memory just not as good as I wish it was now a days

    Look at your profile. It indicates when you joined.

    Actually it doesn't necessarily, with the 2004 upgrade everyone had to start over with posts, mine says "Member Since: Feb 13, 2004" yet the WayBack Machine post shows I posted in 2001.

    I recall 4042.com having giveaways for signing up. I won a 'boombox'. Old, 'nuff said.
