I don't know if anyone has posted this before, but there is a service called the "Internet Wayback Machine".

It is at [URL]http://web.archive.org[/URL]

I thought it was pretty interesting looking at what otakuboards looked like in June 2001 ;)

The Achive "bot" crawls the web every couple of days (maybe every couple of hours) and basically searches every domain in the domain index in the internets root servers. You do not have to submit your site. It is automatically there.

It is based off of an array of computers that already have 100+ Terabytes of archive data.

It is interesting, for instance... say you wanted to see what microsoft.com or 3dfx.com used to look like... ;)

Wow! I went back to v1 with me and SSJGoten fighting. Now that I read it again it's hilarious! If I did something like that again I'd get banned in a few minutes instead of not at all. How lucky I am that it was back then. Eh I wish I had as many posts as I used to on v2. I want my custom avatar back!!

[COLOR=purple].... Pink? Okay, of all the existing colors in the universe, that was the one I expected to find the least.

This is the single greatest discovery in mankind's history. Except for all the other stuff, of course...

I only wish I could actually read the posts...[/COLOR]

Dbzman, due to my extremely great memory, I remember that SuperCrabfrog and Cheezewhizing are slang meanings of making yourself all powerful, imortal, stuff like that.

And I still remember the first fight in DBBF Dbzman. You, verses me. No real surprise that I won, eh? :D

I remember back then, the time in which In which I was a mere fan and not a member of theOtaku staff wondering if I should even bother asking Adam if I could help out! Damn how things change and now look I'm the anime movie reviewer and a staff member:D

Just goes to show you trying will get you somewhere, well thats enough positive reenforcement for one day! :)
