How to view really old threads?

[Xplo]

So... After reading some great threads on here recently, i.e. first internet connections and first and best graphics cards etc

My nostalgic side has piped up and i would love to read some threads from circa early 00's, even older if available, as far back as when these forums first started

Although some threads from 2002/2003 pop up using the search function, is there any other way to access these threads?

Ive had a browse of the archive section but was dissapointed

They must be somewhere as search returns them, but where!

Have tried both suggestions, they have indeed worked thanks, but for example the graphics card sub forum only goes back to 2006

May be that the forum has had a cleanout

That's the last date it was pruned then (Feb 2006 if it's the same as GD). The only posts prior to that will be in the archive thread.

Correct. And the archives are pretty bare

Its a shame, but these are free forums so cant complain
