Wow, things have changed!

I did some browsing on Archive.org and thought I'd post some of the things I saw.

Look at MSN.com in 1996, first archived copy:

What about Yahoo in 96':

Even check out NamePros in 03', only 600 members!:

Thought these would give you a laugh, enjoy!

Looking at NamePros.com in 2003 was really something . In two years, it's changed from a 600 member forum to a 20,000 member forum :tu: !

Awesome work -RJ- :] and Staff™.

MSN looks awful. Yahoo was still mainly a directory at that time -- doesn't look too bad.

Even check out NamePros in 03', only 600 members!:

Well, MSN sure looked like crap, as it does now... yahoo top banner has barely changed since then.

Namepros looked classy even then: "Powered by: vBulletin Version 2.2.9" - makes you wanna go :D
