Does anyone remember this design?

Feels so retro now. This was about 5 years ago - Oh how it's changed.

It's fun reminiscing. :) Anyone have any fun stories about how things have changed around here? The design, the people, old quirky bugs/features?

I miss the old days. TBH, if I had to choose if it was this day or the first days of my time here, I'd choose the latter.

Can we have the old TH.net format back for a week?

EDIT:

Guess where Seth Cross is in that picture.

LOL at the website color scheme :p

I kinda agree, You see no matter what kind of forum you are on. Yourself and everyone would say that. at some point. lol

Well, but the good old days weren't always good. lol but they were actually a lot better. In a kinda weird way. hehe

But you can't go back in time. Isn't that pity?

The old layout is a bit confusing back then, and I only saw it for like 1 or 2 days, before TheHelper.Net changed its layout to something borderline-less.

I personally really like that old format. That design was done by Tender Fury - a web designer friend of ours and I don't have any idea where we got that Cool little icon in the left corner, but I like it!

The colour scheme actually stayed similar to that until this most recent update.

The colours may have been default vBulletin, but I remember them as th.net colours <3

I wasn't here when it was with this theme... but oh my first few months of TH, I was learning the WE, starting 3-4 new projects a week, finishing none, hah I recall that in the beginning I thought that advanced maps are made for 1-2 hours... ^_^

I'm sure we had the theme before this one when I joined. I must've barely missed that theme in the image. :p

Must convince The Helper to add a story of that legend. :D

I agree, though there is a chapter which I have little patience waiting for. ^_^

I guess it depends on the parts of the "old days", but I actually don't really miss or like them much.

I remember being a pretty hostile kinda guy. Me and Conan went at it constantly and a great deal of it was because of my short temper. I've grown up a lot since then. It's actually kind of pathetic to remember how I was back then.

I remember my lil rants though. And Corruption being a big deal. That was good times. That was probably the only REALLY good parts of the past few years and everything else was either BS or just "whatever, go with the flow" kinda times.

Of course, in the past 2 or 3 years, I really have cut down on my activity. I remember my posts per day averaging at like 15 at one point. Now I bet it's less than 10.

Ah well, now I have a life, a wife and a kid :D And a career in the military. HOLY POOP!

To Do List:

Get a short temper, and be like Seth Cross as an admin. :thup:

I really didn't think you disliked your old days.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
