Tell Me Tales of MURC, Please

[Liquid Snake]

I actually started coming here while the tylau crap was going on. I didn't know what the hell was going on so I didn't register for a while. Then I finally decided to register at the end of August. Three days later the forums move away from GA and I had to register again.

I think the forums did get messed up in early 1999, before the tylau crap. I remember trying to go far back to old posts when the forums were still on GA, and they only went back to May 1999 or somewhere around that.

Hey I think we should put together everything in this thread and make a story of MURC's history.

No, that would probably just drive Ant to drinking.

[Liquid Snake]

LOL, then forget what I said

Id think it would be a fun read

Well we've already driven Sasq to drinking (see the second part of the #murc topic), so why not try for Ant next

Hehehe not toot my own horn, but I remember the Manjo Oh No postings back in the day with the G400 and then new Geforce coming out. Also the slightly more recent the [h] forum battle I started ....and me getting the first custom forum title

[Dilitante1]

The MURC main page looked completely different (as did the forums).

Does anyone still have a screenshot or something of that page by chance? What a surprise must it be if you "old fellows" can watch it again and we "youngsters" can look at it for the first time!

Isn't there some sort of "web archive" site somewhere around? I am sure that someone posted it with links to MURC in it at some point last year...

[Dr Mordrid]

The only archive I have is of the old Rainbow Runner Users Group...mainly the "Lucas of Borg/LucaBot" threads

the wayback machine is a ****** peice of stupidity!!!
It don't work on framed pages and they seem to have it "on" between 0:00-0:55 every red monday on even weeks

Yeah. It is a bit rubbish. But it's all we've got (unless someone else has something better?)

I have kept archives of all the sites I have ever built, snapshots taken at various points, but honestly there is not much point in ever publishing them... only for me to look back and think "what was I doing?"
