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.

You can search for any site and it will give you a list of every time they've cached it. For example, gtplanet.net (:

thats cool.

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.

 

[LoudMusic]

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.

 

[Pupik]

Well, you just need to find the right words.

Oh, and your TerraServer thread too.

Anyways, it would be annoying if everyone chimed in every other day with a complaint about a smiliar thread existing years and years* ago.

Cool. Thanks to this I'm finding out that F1 cars might be on GT3! I'm at the old, old, old GTplanet.net.

 

[LoudMusic]

You could also just search GTPlanet locally ...

 

[MadHypello]

I searched for Yahoo... It looks odd.

 

[Cosmic]

Haha , GTP looked really odd 2001

 

[RSCosworth]

This is just ultra-extreme cool! GTPlanet indeed looked very, very differend in 2001

Figured I could bring this back since I've been messing with the site lately.

Boy how far the forums have come!

Can't forget back when Google was a little baby! So cute...

 

[Max Powers]

Haha, found some proof of my longevity here.

Whoa, this archive site is awesome!

 

[tankuroded]

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 *

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.
