At a website i found they archived old websites in 1996,
and now its possible to browse the webistes as they were in 1996! rolleyes.gif

This is the page, just enter the address of a website, and you will see how it was in 1996 laugh.gif
Its funny to see how they have changed rolleyes.gif
And theres one great feature: You can see all days in the year it was updated!

A little late for this, don't you think? Although it is great, I've been using it for years on sites that have closed down.

I've known about this for years too. I actually used it to look back on my old website to retrieve something that was lost on another computer. A helpful tool. It's nice to look back at old websites like Runescape.com and whatnot.

Edit: You're not seeing each day the site was updated. You're viewing each day the spider crawled on the page. Some days don't have updates while others are missing out on a lot of updates.

Sorry, i didnt notice that it was not every day rolleyes.gif
I cant find RuneScape on this thing, but i did find Sals Realm from 2004 wink.gif
Funny to look at the page in the RuneScape Classic time..
Shame that it didnt store the pictures, this site is like a time machine as it says, everything is untouched.
It is a shame that they dont have any stored page for RuneScape from 2001 sad.gif
I didnt know how it looked like sad.gif (I was 6 years old santa.gif )
Oh, and, then theres a BIIIG plus with this..
I found the forums from 2005!
Maybe we will find people from that year in the forums now? (Neo Avatars is an old guy on these forums o_O )

Try searching Jagex.com and notice the web page was located at www.jagex.com/runescape.html
It is too bad they did block Runescape.com from being archived though, but you can find the first Runescape page (AFAIK) here: http://web.archive.org/web/20001110100100/.../runescape.html

Runescape was released around January 3rd 2001. Here is the first archived page of Runescape: http://web.archive.org/web/20010112175700/.../runescape.html Jan 11th, 2001.

Wow that is very useful!
I love it, I went back to Apple.com in 2006 to look at the old iBooks tech specs hysterical.gif
And it isn't that bad compared to the new macbook ohmy.gif
Thanks,
