Ninja Micros Nostalgia!

This was posted in the Genome forum, but was so good I thought I'd post it in here as well:

(Thanks to MikeH for the link. :) )

This site is an "archive" of the web; it lets you view old internet sites that may have disappeared years ago. If you go there you can take a look at the old boards. (But you can't read the posts, except for some of the later forum links they have - the June 16th posts are viewable though, so have at it! :D )

Some highlights:

-A picture of the very first Freespeed Pro! (prototype model)
-The "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" forum!
-The color orange... ;)
-Old news updates back from when we thought 1.2gig was fast.
-Forum polls such as "How many CPU's have you blown up so far this year"
-And many more...
:cool:

The site won't work at all when traffic gets heavy, but I was just there a few minutes ago and it was working.

I just thought this a good time to review those piecemeal memories! :D

[Snufkin]

aw that is so cool! Sqeuaks I remember that thread well :D 'you dont allow pictures of cats in jars and when there is a whole thread on sex?!' <-- who said that?

[The Therion]

would have been nice to have all the posts in some hard drive sitting somewhere...

[MrP]

shame we cant rescue some of it, or contact them to see how much of the board they actually have

would be great to rescue some of rangers FAQ's and other stuff to put back on the site

Yes, perhaps it's better that most of the incriminating evidence remain lost...

Those were the days :D Ranger498 Vs Berekswolf over GForce Vs Radeon arguments (i was on Ranger's side LMAO) and although I think the new BB will be great I will pine for the basic orange and black colour scheme.
