Does anyone have a screenshot of the old VB and UBB colour schemes?

I don't think i'd actually registered then but i remember it happening. Or i might have been a member for a short while then the nuke.

Wow look at them prices, it's really interesting to see how much things drop in value in a matter of years..

It doesn't matter when YOU WERE THE 40TH MEMBER TO SIGN UP!!!!!11

/Cue a bunch of Dons, UBs and Ex-mods who were automatically registered trumping my sad achievement

IIRC I was the first non mod to sign up. I tried to make a thread about it at the time, but the forums got jammed up instantly after registration.

Somewhere on my HDD i had a screenshot of the forums with 0 posts.

I also remember people getting het up and threatening to leave because the forums were slightly the wrong shade of blue or a button had moved place or somthing.... although I think that still happens from time to time

Heh aye, that happens when anything changes

I was here pre-nuke but was just a lurker and stayed that way until Feb 2004 when I obviously had something I needed to say

Can't believe this was 5 years ago now - bloody scary! I had to get Balddog to re-register an account for me as I was in the middle of nowhere in africa, hence by atrocious registration number.

I seem to remember a black forum, I wasn't really a poster or anything then though. Was this forum ever black?

Earliest screengrab I've got is this - 26th July 2002

 

[Psyk]

It's worrying that I've been on these forums for at least 1/4 of my life. I don't think I had been around for long before the big nuke, but I definitely was a member before it.

I just found these very random ocuk images..

One of my first sigs!

Aye, I think you must have been. As Nim is the user previous, and he was an Underboss at the time. Ah well, I tip my hat to you

 

[Yewen]

I started off with a different username as well, I remember mine though

Yeh, I only remmember the important things.

Shame I keep forgetting my passwords mind.

I remember the nuke well, I was online the night it was due to come back on and I managed to get myself registered before it went back down briefly, hence my low user number (50). Was here at least a year pre-nuke as well. I seem to remember a race between myself and Bitboy to reach 500 posts, we both went from around 400 to 500 in the space of 2 hours. I think I won that race
