Internet wayback machine

Change is inevitable and necessary in order to move forward, but damn I miss the old days on gamespot especially collecting emblems O_o. Which one was your favorite?

Feels great checking out the forums after so many years. What's up!

@thegreatwizzo: yeah it sounds crazy but the internet was a lot smaller back then, cozier and more neighborhood like. The whole anonymity aspect of the internet hadn't gone to peoples' heads, either, I think people were nicer back then.

Ah emblems. Wouldn’t mind seeing those return.

2009 wasn’t the early days (if going by the picture)... It is a big difference before and after Facebook became popular imo.

It's weird how Gamespot removed some emblems but not all. I had way more than 2 back in the day. I liked how you could pick themes as well. I had a cool ice theme rocking through until they did a site change.

Oh ya was referring to 1999.

Remember? Back when we had multiple search engines. Lycos, Ask Jeeves, Yahoo, Alta Vista....was google even a thing back then?

Limewire, Napster....

DIAL UP! Oh man, I sometimes almost forget that dial up was a thing. Me playing Team Fortress Classic on my 33.6 modem for hours, my parents wondering why no one has called on the phone for half a day...

I remember going to my buddy's house (he had internet before me) and looking up porn for the first time.

God, the sounds, too.

So many Boomers here on GS, I wish I could have sign into GS as early 2005 :(

(((Wayback machine))) deletes recordings of pages. Stupid site that is utterly worthless

@davillain-: lmao Boomers are awesome in all ways but politics

Oh dial up. We never had that, as we got internet connection fairly late. Friends had it and I remember the sound of it.

I remember using google, alta vista and yahoo. Limewire was something. When it was a thing here, I think the laws here stated that only the uploaders were breaking the law, not the downloaders.

Boomers? We are not that old.

I agree.

Amen to that.

2001- 2007 for me was the best of GS double click to zoom in.
