Ambo100 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) It's been quite a while since I last made a topic here... I recently found this screenshot taken 19th October 2006 and it made me wonder what everyone else might have lying around...

Sobend Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 This is the only picture I have relevant to Old School Sals. 2005 Christmas party. Globularblob was a moderator back then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter585 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Haven't seen that internet browser layout in a long time! I don't have anything though, the computer I'm on is only 4 years old and I didn't save any old pictures 21 hours ago, Sobend said: This is the only picture I have relevant to Old School Sals. 2005 Christmas party.

Yuanrang Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I am actually fairly sure I can (barely) see me on that picture of yours, Sobend. Most of my oldest pictures were made from Imageshack links that are now old dead, so unless I do a search of old equipment, I will not find any of those. I did, however, find this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite some time ago, Morte made a topic in the DM sub-forum so people could sign their names on the "wall" when they were promoted to Distinguished Member. This was one of the earliest "walls", I believe. It made me think of a lot of people on that list that is now long gone, and then I began to think about everyone else I have crossed paths with and would have loved to catch up with, one last time. Friends, acquaintances... even those I fear might not be among us anymore, but has passed on. I dunno, just finding that made me quite nostalgic, and made me remember well over a hundred names, and made me want to chat with them again, and see how people ended up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels strange to see how most of those names hardly make it into the last century. In some ways it feels so long ago but so recent too. The idea of adding something on to what others have made reminds me of the graphic worms, or the extremely niche RS faking community we used to have. It's so sad to think that a lot of other stuff has been lost forever as Imageshack/Photobucket and whatever else people used to use slowly recycles URLs. It's a shame sites like Wayback machine can only save so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have started a similar picture collab thread here for anyone dropping by, but it will not work due to the sheer amount of people dropping by, and the fact that people just do not adhere to size equality. ...that said, man, it is times like this when you remember how damn old you have become compared to the very beginning.

The Darkest Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Holy crap, Ambo100, I remember you! Weren't you in the Omega Faking Group all those years ago? Wow. I basically get nostalgic for this forum every time I think about it. Funny how Reddit has basically supplanted all other internet forums. This site is really a relic of another time. I definitely have some screenshots somewhere. I will try and dig them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Reddit and social media in general, that and all fansites being outdone by Wikia. (It's very hard to compete with those).

I think if you tried that now it wouldn't be such a problem. Hardly many people visit and I suppose it could size could be limited in a grid or something.

Also this bit of ancient history Special pip for people who "retired" from Runescape. They got rid of it in the new forum because it was silly :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBear Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 There is still a chance for the forum to be alive again? Is it happening in waves or is the forum just dead? :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think I still have a good amount saved, though not sure about the Omega ones specifically. Maybe I will go through soon and do a photodump here.

Strange, I could have sworn it was working when I posted it, it isn't working for me either. I'll use Imgur. And a a bonus one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
