does anyone have a screenshot off the old pix, because then i could make a template with the old colours for those mad enough to use it :) (when i have time that is of course.)
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

I'd use the blue over these eye-loving, gentle shades of grey in a heart beat...:lala:

Personally, I don't care about celebrities at all.

And I'm so glad now we have a new skin for the forums. I HATE that blue.
Brings nostalgia though.

Cool. I tried a search for pixelation.swoo.net and pixelation.cjb.net, the old domains, but it seems whoever owns those domains now has blocked the Internet Archive (via robots.txt). At apparently that works retroactively, so we're out of luck. Freakn' domain squatting misers.

yeah i got the robots thing too. i don't think you'd find much else though. the web1.t43... one was where all the other domains redirected to. it'd be nice to have the old posts. i would've liked to have seen my first post. and my old art.

The web1.t43.greatnet.de domain wasn't always its home, pixelation was hosted directly on swoo.net "back in the day" (like, 2001 and earlier, when it was a sub-forum of GDR). So, would have been nice to have seen the original design and maybe some of the early posts on the Wayback machine. Ah well.

The site moved to greatnet.de after troubles with hosting/forums/hackers or something, not sure at this point. There have been quite a few pixelation downtimes, but it always springs back eventually. :)

Someone needs to make a time-line of this stuff... it's important info! :crazy:
