Old Threads (Nostalgia Trip)

[Bug]

It's been a while since I've made a thread instead of just commenting, but I wanted to share with you guys something that I discovered mere minutes ago. There are threads on here that haven't been active since 2003. While that might be obvious to some people it hadn't occurred fully to me until now LOL.

I wanted to make a thread to compile some old threads so we can appreciate them for the time capsules that they are. I know that it's against the rules to revive old threads so I won't be commenting on any, just linking them. (Hope this is within the boundaries of what I can do because I'm not 100% sure haha.)

I'll add more as I find them, feel free to do the same!

Old Threads

Spoiler:

1. A short thread about error messages while trying to access PC. Has a very old screenshot of a web browser. (2005)

2. "What music are you listening to?" (2005)

3. Another music thread, made during the peak of the iPod and mp3 player. (2006)

4. A random youtube video thread (2011)

5. The Nintendo 3DS is announced (2010)

6. (Serious) A discussion of 9/11 two years after it happened. (2003)

7. A celebration of PC's first birthday (2002)

8. "Do you have a cell phone?" (2003)

9. (Serious) A discussion of former U.S. president George Bush (2003)

10. A thread of wildly outdated web hosts (2003)

11. A thread about MTV (2003)

12. "What operating system do you use?" (2003)

13. Hype over the original sims game and speculation about a sims 2 game (2003)

14. Speculation about Shrek 2 (2003)

15. (Spoilers) A discussion of the 5th Harry Potter Book (2003)

16. "GBA sp, is it worth it?" (2004)

17. "Most preferred web browser" (2004)

18. "AOL screennames anyone?" (2004)

19. "How do you play a VCR tape backwards?" (2004)

20. "NINTENDO'S CRASHING ALREADY" (2004)

Whew. This took longer than I thought to find some good ones. I think it's cool though. If this thread gets a good reception I'll do another purge to find another 20 or so. I'm still only in 2004 lol.

i love looking at old threads (unless I posted in them, then they're off limits) - Off-Topic actually has a ton because several sections have been merged into here at various different points (Video Games, Anime, E&M, and Webmaster Discussion or whatever the precursor to I&T was).

One of my favorites we found was this one - we actually wound up remaking it just for giggles.

God I love looking at life in 2003. Things looked so much simpler.

Sadly I was 5 years old and didn't know where I was half the time.

The miss the .gif thread

Conversations were held, battles were won and lost, and much blood was shed, yet not a single word spoken.

Pokemon Shiny Gold. Figured I'd just leave this here since many people joined Pokecommunity just for Shiny Gold, or so the story goes.

I would've been 2 so I feel this.

Love those! I often discovered really interesting ones through them. Why do people wear them less nowadays?
