This is a cool site. They've essentially been doing a google cache system since 1996 except that they don't update - rather they just keep adding to it.

http://www.archive.org

You can search for any site and it will give you a list of every time they've cached it. For example, gtplanet.net (:
 
One of the ones I searched was Hotmail. I actually remember the site as it was in their first cached link. That's about the time I signed up for Hotmail. Searches for bigger sites that change more often give you a crapload of results, like Yahoo.
 
I love the wayback machine. But I am always surprised; the internet hasn't changed as much as I would think since 1997/98.
 
Well, the appearance of sites from back then have definitely improved. There's a more "user-friendly" look to most of them. Web designers and their tools have improved a great deal.
 
I've posted this a kajillion times before.
 
I searched for archive.org and found two threads on completely different topics.
 
Cool. Thanks to this I'm finding out that F1 cars might be on GT3! I'm at the old, old, old GTplanet.net.:D
 
You could also just search GTPlanet locally ...
 
This is just ultra-extreme cool! :D GTPlanet indeed looked very, very differend in 2001
 
Whoa, this archive site is awesome!
 
Heh, I used this site to read SportWagon's GeoCities page! :) I had to do this as GeoCities is now closed :( (I shoot SportWagon some alerts about this)

*calls SportWagon :sly:*
 
I knew about this two or three years ago so I could get some files that were long gone since the website owners were gone.

@Buickgnx88: I agree completely.:lol:
