If you are ever bored, and want to see what things looked like on this forum some 7 years ago, I stumbled across this by accident: http://www.rxrsignals.net/Phpbb3_oldforum/index.php

It's fun to go through some of the old posts. Many of the Google links still work, and even pull up current images.

How do you see old websites?

I thought the old forum was erased from existence! :Blink:

From what I recall chatting with Gillson, Mike was able to save the old forum, but only kept it as an internal reference. Probably because the current one is (and was) on newer software.

Go to this link: https://archive.org/web/.

You will need the http address for the website you want to search for. In this case, for Mike's website you would use http://www.rxrsignals.net/. You can see Mike's website as far back as 2006.

I have found other websites dating back to 1997. It's amazing how far we have come over the last 15 to 20 years. Just imagine what it will be like 20 year from now! :TUP2:

Man, looking back on the old forum, I made some really stupid posts back in the day. I'm glad I've come a long way since then.
