Many of you know of netarchive.org--they archive websites....

WELL.. I did a search for my old domain (before I even had tgeweb.com)

And what you are about to see is THE FIRST Ironworks Forum--even before the Blue board! (6/1999)

(Many of the images won't load, and the background is yellow)

My oooolllddd website was at:
www.amtc.net/users/~ziroc/index.htm

:D

I'll post more pages I find here in an 'edit' as I find them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Holy crap!

So is this considerred the 'grey board' ? :D

Er...? The background was yellow as well? Since the font seems to be yellow just the same...

And well, at least I'm not seeing any familiar names. Was any of the current members already around back then? :confused:

Actually, it wasn't REALLY gray. All the images and background images are missing.. so are the header images.. just the text is showing up.. totally blew me away though.. :D

IW Forum is 5 years old! :D

I don't think so. [img]smile.gif[/img] I ran this forum for 4 or 5 Months I think, then went to the Blue Board..

We've come a LONG way! :D

I think I missed this time - the blue board was already up and running when I joined (November 2000). :D

<font color=skyblue>Boy...and I thought I was an ancient!

I believe I registered in September of 2000, and was a lurker about a month before that. I only remember Sazerac, Wyvern, Ertai, and Rikard. Were there anymore as old as that?</font>

Some pretty funky links there, Ziroc. But dammit, I want to experience a board change, so I can say 'ooh, I was here when that brown board was around...' and all the newbies will go 'wow, grampa Alex, how did so and so work, back in 2001?' and that kind of thing.

I can still call you gramps if you want :D
Wow, to think ironworks' been up that long... [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img]

Hehehe. No familiar names at all. hehehe. Thats pretty basic stuff tho! LOL! IW has been up a while hasnt it!
