What was it like along time ago?

[crazyjohnny]

What was it like on here back in the early 00s? How did the site look? How were the movies displayed? etc.

[zag]

I don't really know about 00, but it looked pretty much the same in 04-05...
just a little bit shittier. the portal itself looked way kooler though!

'cuz I could blow up flashes with my mouse by hovering over them.

[MaartenC]

I looked that up on one of those webarchive sites. NG looked waaaaay more awesome in 05 and earlier than it does now.

Not that it looks ugly now...

[jimbowales]

just use the wayback machine

[Celshaded]

there was a whole lot more crap in the portal and everybody's standards were lower. The worst stuff on here now doesn't compare to some of the poop I remember seeing back in the day.

agreed. The flash stuff here has gotten a lot better.

Well, Tom looked a lot like this:

[megadoctor]

Design was different, it wasn't as smooth, the tank was more like a tank not like a round ball.
Standarts were a lot.. A LOT lower than now.

[Razz]

It's hard to explain. You can look at the archives, have people explain it, and so fourth.. But it's easier to understand for people who had been here day in day out posting and viewing content rather than just taking a glimpse on content that you personally hadn't been here for. I was here a couple years before I signed up, but anything before then is a little hard for me to grasp because it had a different feel. Even at one point there was no real portal nor accounts, that's hard for me to imagine.

[DROID-TRON]

It was basically when things on here were actually cool. And now... this.

[Little-Rena]

I miss the old design with the funny gradients in the portal and the stupid little banner than you hover over and blow up flash files, portal is too profesional looking now.

No, it was more common for flashes to get blammed then than it is now.

[Zombified]

Was pretty gangster when I joined up. That's all you need to know.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I'd zone out and keep waving the mouse.

That's because there was more awful submissions then.

[CorpseGrinderClock]

There was autoplay flash on a lot of pages.

Particularly Assassin, which had shotgun man, a feature which is tragically lacking in the present Assassin collection page.

I hate that because I tend to open several flash submissions in tabs to kinda queue them up, if you know what I mean.

I asked Luis if he would bring those shirts back as "throwback items" but he was violently against the idea, so I doubt we'll see them pop up in the store under his vicious reign.

[Satanessa]

There were natzis everywhere on dinosaurs, son.

[GlitchyFlame]

I remember it clearly my son... Giant Nazi's on flaming monkys were terrorizing all towns.. Oh! Wrong thread! LOL

[123mine123]

Looking at the NGarchives, the old design looks very cool!
I wonder how the new redesign will look like...
