Ever wanted to see the first version of a site? :p
This is something really cool! This site remembers all the versions of a site there have ever been ^^
Way back machine

I tried using it for neopets.com (getting nostalgic ^^), but unfortunately it didn't work :( maybe they asked to block it

    Yahoo and Myspace before they fucked with those sites...

    Humanity is doomed. We associate technological advancement with "snazzy looking shit" instead of functional things.

    I can't stand it when a site goes "2.0" or some sort of difficult to navigate, ugly, flashy attempt to look "modern."

    some sites do improve, but indeed, a site should never decrease in usability :(

    Mother****ing THIS.
    I can understand difficulty in navigating in the beginning because new things are well, new things, but when shit dont work then it annoys me.

    wow seeing the 2004 version of this site reminds me of the first forum I ever joined on the internet. lol strange feeling O_o

    I remember when Neopets actually had a cool toolbar on top of their page. That's the one thing I miss on that site <_<

    hey yeaahh before it went all complicated!
    i mean, everybody understood those pictures! they were totally neat ^^ - or still better than it is now :)
    now it's just too... 'where do i find this'
    but it's harder to maintain when you want to add stuff

    Yeah I get why they want the current toolbar, there's way too many info they need to fit into the toolbar these days to maintain the old one but I wish they at least maintain the aesthetic feel of it, the current one is just one long boring rectangular bar <_<. A little art and pictures on the side or in the middle won't hurt instead of having to search each 'word' for the link i want :angry:

    Next months apps will not be held until later due to these ones dragging on for so long. If anybody comes bitching to me at the start of the month about how apps aren't open, I will kill you. Oh so literally.

    I was such a cheerful thing. :D

    So many names on there that I'd forgotten about...

    Just found an excellent topic by Razor about who loves Kim.
    Dan: No, Kim's a whore.
    Lee: No Dan, whores have limits.
    We were so kind to her. <3

    hmm i totally agree ^^
    i can guess then that they don't have a decent webdesigner hired who maintains the usability of the site - maybe i should go applying fufufu :)
