Just curious

[Shadowman]

It doesn't actually exist anymore. In the site's--Jesus H Kristoff--16 years of life, it's been reset to zero more than a few times. I actually went looking but I couldn't find any posts older than 2005.

Actually, Shadowman, I believe this site is going on its 19th year, if you count its very 1st iteration, without all the bells and whistles. Ryan started this place either in the fall or summer of 1999. It became what it is through several reboots, each time something new being added. IIRC, the message board was 1 of the 1st features, along with the animated movie screen caps (which I miss very much).

What, you guys did't see this post dated from 1984?

All kidding aside, I went back and the stream of steady news that we can go back to starts at around 2001 with articles like this https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... mart/6813/

Good God, I didn't realize it was that old.

If I remember right, the forums and new posts weren't integrated until much later.

Unfortunately Archive.org only goes back to 2001 and there isn't a whole lot there to see. However, feeling nostalgic, I thought it would be fun to post the old front page logos I could find.

2001


2002




2003


2004






2005


2007


2009


2010


After that came the current logo with only minor changes to the rest of the site and background. 2005 was my favorite, that was the year the site was made to look like a toy box.

Crazy to see how this place has changed. Have I really been around here for 14 years?

No, you're in a coma. Whatever you think you've been experiencing, it wasn't real. I'm standing next to you in hospital now, trying to contact you. Please come back to us. Everyone misses you very much. Please, they're talking about...about turning off your life support. Come back to us, there's so much here for you to see. They just opened the Schwarzenegger Memorial Library, you'd love it.

KingMob. Now that's a name I have not heard in quite some time.





Holy ****, it's good to see you on here again. How is your mum?

[Tygor1]

This is the first time since I joined that I posted something...It says that I did post something before... But, it's good to be back here!

[Stuartmaximus]
