Google history indexed the old inn!!!

SO Google turned ten. To have some fun, they posted their old archived search pages from 2001.

Google in 2001 Nifty.

But guess what? If you type something in you get the results from that year. There is no youtube, ipod is a company, and Michael Phelps is a scientist not a swimmer.

So google the Inn, it will actually take you to the old original website. The old fireside forums and everything, even our old posts! Granted it's all done through the Wayback Machine, which can do this anytime, but I wouldn't have even really thought about it if Google hadn't done this.

The Old Inn - hard to believe I've been here that long!
Woah, and even OLDER version!

trivia

A little tidbit: This is my oldest known post on the inn. I went by my character's name of "Ardarimir" back then. SAdly it looks like a few pages of the game are missing...

First post, at least in character."
Old Staff Page
Oh, and the old inn STILL hates Firefox.

If anyone has some time, I HIGHLY suggest reading through some of the old classics. Back then a lengthy game usually meant a good game, so anything with a few hundred posts should be worth a read. Perhaps we should copy them from the wayback machine and set up a history of the inn section or something.

wow...

Strange seeing some of those old games. Especially Wardrums in Sendria, which was a really funky one.

Coolest thing in a long time

I had no idea such a thing would even be possible.
Great to see the old stuff again and old staff too. That's even before the time I was one of them.

And my first very own game is there too. Yay! Meanwhile, Wardrums and so many others.

Thanks Addy, old friend!

Raven's game

I remember that game!

I played my namesake in that (I think).

Heh, I was just looking over Wardrums and remembered the bright idea I had at the time - 'I'l create a new ID for this character.' That worked right until I forgot the password.

Hah

I found a post where Kaelyn is asking for help with a character in 2e and Valimar is introducing himself for the first time. Lulz.

The 10yr version...yeah I was probably around 8.

Wittle old mwe.
EDIT: My god I just found some submission forms that are still active. I am changing the past.

no clue

I have some stuff in the Access database I used to set up the "new, improved" Inn, but there's no good way to import it.

Silly Grugg, you can't change history! Just because the form lets you click something doesn't mean it does anything.

Long ago...?

It doesn't seem that long ago. *confused* I think I may have misplaced a few years in my memory...maybe it is in the same place as last Wednesday.
