Afternoon, knew this would appeal to a lot of you and I did do a search to see if it had been posted and it doesnt look like it has, so thought I would share it!

Check this out!

Put in a web site address and you can see archived versions of the site from way back

It is a fantastic site, really quite interesting, great idea tbh!!!!

Without wanting to appear too sarcastic... 1999 called, they'd like their news flash back.

Otacon · 23 Feb 2006 at 13:51

99? Try 96 :/

Seriously dude, you wouldn't have found any posts on this because it's older than me.

I didn't want to come over as too sarcastic

Yeah, 1896 maybe.....

In all seriousness, the only thing older than the Wayback archive is here.

Or here.

lol... it's funny you just said 1896 then, because I just got a call on my mobile from 1896, requesting the swift return of his joke...

Archive.org are really cool people. They're very willing to help out with..er...archiving, too

We have a bunch of their old servers and use them to store geospatial data archives and downloads.

Top people

Added to that, their files library is huge. Want music? Any kind? Concert? Videos? You'll find 'em there - far better than most of the stuff in the shops today, too

u know guys i did just have a conversation with 1999, and they want their "someone just called" line back, as even thats gotten very very very ....... very very old

I, for one, consider it a gross infringement on websites' copyright.

Deka · 23 Feb 2006 at 15:31

Disregarding all the ppl complaining about it being old for a second, this is actually an interesting site, and many users may not have seen it before so it may be useful to them.

But not quite as old as archive.org.

That's pretty cool.

I've never seen any threads about this and am grateful to the OP for bringinig it to my attention.

Lay off him guys - not everybody has seen every thread that has ever been posted on the forums

The last I heard he was still looking for some of the floppy discs.

Rwac · 23 Feb 2006 at 17:04

I'd never seen this before, so thanks to the OP for this.

Munday · 23 Feb 2006 at 17:22

I had never seen this before either so thanks for the link.
Some people don't read every single post on every single forum in the world unlike some people on here.

Tomdun · 23 Feb 2006 at 17:24

I think I backed up the internet on to a floppy a while back, I will see if I can dig it out
