Well, you can find that out with the Wayback Machine. Here are some websites I've provided of what they looked like when they were very young: Google - 2nd December 1998 DeviantArt - 15th August 2000 (that was when the site was only launched the week before on 7th August) YouTube - 27th August 2005 and 30th December 2006 (the day I first joined there) And finally... MSN - 22nd October 1996 Yes. They look so much different than what they look like now, especially MSN. Some of you may know this gadget already but I just thought I'd make a thread on it You can post "waybacks" of other sites also.
	Version 4. Coming Soon... I will be gone from YouTube again on January 2010. Don't worry, my account will remain open for my permanent depature.

Posts: 579 Group: Member Member #245 Joined: 10 July 2009 Gender Male Country Luxembourg	Yahoo - 26th December 1996 Microsoft - 12th December 1998 These sites changed alot. I also found out that the Bonzi website (previous host of the infamous BonziBuddy spyware) is blocked on the Wayback Machine, for obvious reasons. EDIT: Can I post waybacks from websites in a language other than English? Edited by fsvgm777, 20 Jul 2009, 08:59 AM.
