Whatever happened to 9:35 and Swilo? I was bored and checked some of the oldest posts, they kinda died didn't they?

that's september 2002 conan, not september 2003. It can't possibly be september 2003, because I have been a world edit forum moderator since february 2003.

I would say that TH clearly changed the forums a lot between then and the time I joined, because when I joined the forums looked pretty much like they did before we upgrade to vbulletin 3.

actually, perhaps the archive doesn't keep all the template formatting? I am thinking a bit harder now, and I could swear the forums didn't look like that when I first found this place circa 2001.

edit: scrap that, "The Help Zone" forum was the one I remembered, and that did look like I remembered. The World Edit and Star Edit forums clearly started off with a different template style though.

hehe nice snapshot Wargy

here's a question I don't know the answer to - anyone know what the origins are of "The Group" ?

In the meantime, here are some cool links found on that page Wargy linked:

Since we are going back in time we might as well as look at thehelper.net in 1999 - May of 1999 to be exact

Fortunately, we've come some really long way since then...

About 2000 to 2001 sometime was when I hosted the-group.org and thehelper.net on my server. I probably still have copies of the site somewhere from that time.

If i remember right, didn't the-group.org split off from thehelper.net? Man that was a long time ago. I think the-group.org was more for general conversations, while thehelper.net stayed more on the serious side of things.

i miss the old pink and purple helper... sigh, its was so damn pretty...

 

[The Helper]

Ha! Blast from the past!
