Wonder what the forum looked like 18 years ago.

Like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20020718162134/https://forums.overclockers.co.uk, pretty good site you can put any website in the search and see what it looked like over the years.

https://web.archive.org/web/2000062...alog/Online_Catalogue_CPU_s_Processors_6.html : Pentium 3 Guaranteed to 866MHz+ only £199!

Or https://web.archive.org/web/2000062...atalog/Online_Catalogue_Graphics_Cards_9.html : Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS 64MB (Retail Boxed)
Using the latest Ge-Force 2 (NVidia NV15) chipset, the Hercules 3D Prophet II is the fastest graphics card money can buy. Featuring 64MB of DDR RAM, full 4X/2X AGP support, TV-OUT and PowerDVD player this product is retail boxed. Only £264.18!

I'm a noob here so it makes me sad I've missed out on lots, but the future is bright!

I always find myself drifting into the forums to have a read (a lot more reading than writing usually as my life isn't that exciting ).

The only thing that annoys me about the place but then it is mainly true of all forums I have ever been on, is that so many people do not seem to actually read and comprehend what has been posted before replying themselves.

Plus one on this - The thing that rubs my rod is no matter which forum you go on a lot of people can not spell "Does" - This one isn't so bad as last forum I abandoned.

I joined to get help building my first PC - Very helpful and it's been a cracker since day one .

Two pages? Seriously? We're not even a third of the way through a single page.
