Archive.org

Post by TechWiz18 »

Have you ever explored Archive.org aka The Way Back Machine? If you're not familiar, it's an Internet Archive.

I have used it to look at old websites that either don't exist or to remember what an existing website used to look like.
I bet you can't see me now!

I’ve gone on there once or twice. Actually was able to grab some images from a Wordpress theme I had for my blog I had lost from there.

Oh that's impressive. I don't think the logo's and such I used for old websites are even available through Archive.org :(

I bet I'd get one heck of a hit of nostalgia if I went back to like 08/09 when I joined Forum Promotion

I think that they switched from Freeforums to self-hosted phpBB 3.0 in 2008. I was on FA when they were on Freeforums, though.
